02Documented history
03Origin & word formation
A 1998 서울신문 article introduces buying stocks without examining the company, price, or investment outlook as 묻지마 investment, explaining it as derived from 묻지마 관광. The same meaning was checked in the 국립국어연구원’s 『2000년 신어』. The first coiner and actual first use have not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The independent spelling and definition in the official collection and an earlier contemporary article were compared. The 1998 article date was checked in its body and publication metadata. Its etymological explanation is distinct from separate verification of first coinage.
