싸불 appears to have spread in the 2010s as a shortened Korean rendering of 사이버불링, itself from English Cyberbullying. It is now used across X/Twitter, online communities, private chats, and fandom spaces when online criticism turns into group harassment; the exact first use is uncertain.

"That comment is obvious bait. Just don’t feed the troll."
originThe phrase spread across Korean online communities as a blunt local version of the global internet rule “do not feed the troll.” It frames attention as “food” that makes trolls stronger, so the best response is silence.

"They are not just a solo fan; they keep dragging the other members, so people call them 악개."
origin악개 is widely understood as a shortened form of 악성 개인팬, built from 악성 meaning malicious and 개인팬 meaning solo fan. It appears to have spread through online K-pop fandom spaces in the early 2010s, though the exact first use is hard to verify; today it is used critically to separate ordinary solo fans from fans who create hostility inside a group fandom.

"They say they love the group, but every comeback they tear the styling apart like a kka-ppa."
originThe term appears to have grown out of early Korean online fandom language where 빠 described obsessive or overprotective fans and 까 described anti-fans or people who constantly criticized a celebrity. The exact first use is uncertain, but it became a useful label in idol and entertainment communities for fans whose affection and hostility seemed to coexist.
