English loanword Koreans actually type in chats — usually 로우키로 or 로우키하게 ('lowkey stanning him'). Native words covering the same ground: 은근히/은근 (subtly, on the sly), 약간 (kinda, a bit), and ironically 완전 (totally) for emphasis. So 'lowkey in Korean' = 은근히 for secrets, 약간 for degrees, 로우키 when you want the meme register.
