Origin ยท Source
Nun-gaeng combines ๋, meaning โeyes,โ with ๊ฐฑ, a Korean borrowing of the gaming term โgank,โ meaning a sudden ambush or attack. It spread through online communities, gaming-adjacent slang, and meme-style comments as a visual counterpart to expressions like ๊ท๊ฐฑ for unpleasant sounds. The exact first use is unclear, so the early 2010s is a cautious estimate.
