💞OTP

origin최애 became widely recognizable through Korean fandom and otaku-style communities where fans needed a compact way to name their top favorite member, character, or work. The exact first use is hard to verify, but by the 2000s–2010s it was common across idol fandom, web communities, and later mainstream social media. Today it works beyond fandom, as in 최애 음식, 최애 카페, or 최애템.

origin차애 combines 次, meaning next or second, with 愛, meaning love. It spread through Korean fandom language alongside 최애, especially in idol, anime, webtoon, and character fandoms; the exact first use is hard to pin down, so the year is approximate.

origin망붕 likely formed as an abbreviation of 망상 분자 and spread through idol fandoms, drama communities, and social media where people debated real-person shipping and overinterpretation of on-screen chemistry. The exact first use is unclear, so the year is approximate.
