The expression likely grew from the mid-2010s Korean ‘spoon class’ word family, especially 금수저, which was widely remixed into playful forms like talent-spoon or beauty-spoon. 웃수저 applies that structure to natural comedic ability and spread through online communities, variety-show talk, and social media captions; the exact first usage is uncertain.
