The National Institute of Korean Language’s “2010년 신어 자료집” directly defines the expression in its new-word section. It gives its components as “twitter + voter”. Who first used it and when have not been verified.

The entry and definition in one collection were directly checked. The older articles cited in the collection were not separately checked, so their dates were not used as the earliest verified date.
