The exact coined year is unclear, but the expression spread through Korean online communities in the 2000s as users began calling links or target locations “coordinates.” Over time it came to cover both casual link-sharing and organized movement toward a post, article, or account, especially when that movement becomes hostile.

"That comment is obvious bait. Just don’t feed the troll."
originThe phrase spread across Korean online communities as a blunt local version of the global internet rule “do not feed the troll.” It frames attention as “food” that makes trolls stronger, so the best response is silence.

"The poll is too close, so someone posted, “Need firepower support here.”"
originThe phrase comes from the Korean military term 화력지원, meaning fire support for allied forces. In online communities from the 2000s onward, it was repurposed to mean sending many users to a link, comment section, poll, or post to add recommendations, comments, reports, votes, or defensive replies. The exact first community is unclear, so the category is treated as multiple-community internet usage rather than a single-origin meme.
