The term combines “Office” and “Big Bang” to frame the post-pandemic transformation of work as a sudden structural explosion rather than a small office trend. It became recognizable in Korean trend and business discourse around the early 2020s, especially when discussing remote work, job-hopping, quiet quitting, and work-life balance; the exact first usage is not certain.
