History

Some say the word originated during the 90s in the early days of Korean internet communities in PC Tongshin.[2] 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.[3] It was ordinarily directed towards a girl or woman with an aggressive personality.[4][5] The usage of the word waned after 2014.[2]

A related expression was Doenjang Girl. A Doenjang Girl seeks luxury and is vain and proud.[6][7]
