History
editSome[according to whom?] say the word originated during the 90s in the early days of Korean internet communities in PC Tongshin.[citation needed] But the word boseulachi is said to be emerged in 2006 on South Korean internet forums as a term South Korean men use to describe vain and egotistical women.[2] It was ordinarily directed towards a girl or woman with an aggressive personality.[3][4]
