Origin · Source

The phrase spread among Korean job seekers from the longer sentence “면접은 까보기 전까지 모른다,” literally “you do not know an interview until you open/check the result.” Exact coinage is unclear, but it was already visible in youth job-search discourse by the late 2010s and remains common in interview-result talk.
