GNG is an acronym that stands for ‘Gang,’ often used to refer to a group or community of users on TikTok. In popular slang, ‘gang’ doesn’t necessarily imply any criminal connotations. Instead, it refers to a squad of people, or close friends.

For example, someone might post a video with their friends and use the “GNG” hashtag to signify their close-knit relationship or teamwork.

Alternatively, a content creator might refer to their followers as their GNG, showing a sense of friendship and connection with them. The acronym is similar to the slang ‘Fam,’ which is often used to describe a close circle of friends.

In some instances, GNG could also mean ‘Going.’ However, the above definition is generally more common to see on TikTok.
