告白 is a Japanese word meaning "confession". It is composed of the characters 告 (koku), which means "inform" or "announce", and 白 (haku), which means "white" or "clear". The word can be used in different contexts, such as in a loving relationship, when someone confesses their feelings to another person, or in a situation where someone admits a mistake or guilt.
