02Documented history

  1. February 2022When the Ministry Data Research Institute showed 698 people involved in ministry the five ‘words used by MZ세대’ and asked them if they knew them, 71% responded ‘I don’t know what they mean.’ ‘완내스’ is one of those five.[1]

03Origin & word formation

Short for 완전 내 스타일, exactly my style. Christian Today's account of a Ministry Data Lab explanation describes its use for something matching one's ideal or preferences perfectly. Who first used it and when have not been verified.

Evidence for the origin explanationHigh

The article explicitly explains the term. However, its survey participants were people involved in ministry, so the survey should not be treated as representative of usage in general.
