Evidence for the origin explanationMedium

Individual entries and definitions in a single official collection were directly checked. Published in 2011, it compiles terms selected for clearer Korean replacements from 2004 through 2011; this does not mean the expressions originated or became popular in 2011. The original announcements were not separately opened, so the publication date was used as the earliest verified evidence date.
