originThe word blends dopamine, the brain chemical associated with reward and motivation, with farming, the gaming term for repeatedly collecting items or rewards. It spread in Korea through trend reports, social media, and everyday talk about short-form content and overstimulating lifestyle habits; the exact first use is unclear, so 2024 is best treated as an approximate mainstream-spread year.

originThe expression spread as a short way to refer to YouTube’s “인기 급상승 동영상” section. Even as YouTube has shifted toward Charts, recommendations, Shorts, and category-based discovery, “인급동” remains a familiar Korean internet expression for a video that is visibly trending.

originThe term comes from the global meme expression “smombie,” blending “smartphone” and “zombie.” It spread as a warning label for phone-absorbed pedestrians, especially in safety campaigns and online discussions about distracted walking.

originThe acronym FOMO became known from the English phrase “Fear Of Missing Out” in the early 2000s and spread widely through social media culture. In Korean usage, 포모 expanded from general social anxiety into marketing, trend-chasing, and investment psychology.

origin무물 comes from the Korean phrase 무엇이든 물어보세요 / 무엇이든 물어봐, meaning “ask me anything.” The exact first use is hard to pin down, but the abbreviation became especially visible in late-2010s Korean social media as Instagram Story question boxes and casual Q&A posts spread.
