Definition
海王 originally refers to the DC superhero Aquaman (海王 is the Chinese name for the character). In recent internet slang, it has taken on a second meaning: a person who flirts with or dates multiple people at once, similar to 'player' or 'womanizer' in English. The slang sense is now very common in casual conversation and social media. The literal meaning 'king of the sea' (Neptune/Poseidon) also exists but is less frequent.
