/om-ni-bo-eo/
Omnivore, read in Korean as om-ni-bo-eo, comes from the English word meaning “an animal that eats both plants and meat.” In Korean consumer-trend usage, it describes people who cross age, gender, price, genre, and lifestyle boundaries to consume widely based on personal taste.

Examples
2- "She buys designer perfume but also swears by Daiso kitchen tools—total omnivore consumer energy."
- "My playlist jumps from idol pop to trot to classical music, so I guess my taste is pretty omnivore."

The word Omnivore itself is an older English term meaning “omnivorous,” but Korean usage expanded it into a consumer-trend keyword around lifestyle, marketing, and Trend Korea-style discourse in the mid-2020s. Its current meaning is less about literal eating and more about boundaryless taste: people no longer fit neatly into categories like age, gender, income, genre, or brand tier.
