"nepo baby" 親の七光り

[Shinya Suzuki]

I came across an article (below) on "nepo baby," which instantly reminded me of 親の七光り, an everyday expression in Japanese.

A related neologism 親ガチャ is one of the top ten words of the year 2021. Apparently the concept was/is already present in English, i.e. "parent lottery."
