📶와이파이 셔틀
/wai-pai-syeo-teul/
A school-bullying slang term for forcing another student to turn on their phone hotspot or tethering so others can use their mobile data. It carries a serious, critical tone because it describes coercion, data exploitation, and a digital-age version of the older ‘shuttle’ bullying pattern.
Examples
2- "That is not just borrowing data. If someone keeps forcing him to turn on hotspot, it is Wi-Fi shuttle bullying."
- "The teacher said forcing classmates to share mobile data can also count as school bullying."

The phrase appears to extend the older Korean ‘shuttle’ bullying vocabulary, such as bread shuttle, into the smartphone era. Exact first-use timing is hard to pin down, so the coined year should be read as an approximate early-2010s marker, when smartphones, hotspot use, and mobile data plans became common among students.
