'Ppang-kku Ddong-kku' gained immense popularity as a catchphrase of the character Jung Hae-ri, played by child actress Jin Ji-hee, in the MBC sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof', which aired from 2009 to 2010. Its social impact was significant, to the extent that the Korea Communications Standards Commission issued a recommendation regarding the expression. It consistently became a hot topic through various episodes, such as a news anchor on YTN failing to suppress laughter while reporting on the news, leading to a broadcast mishap. Even after the sitcom ended, it remained a beloved catchphrase with various parodies for a long time.

'Ppang-kku Ddong-kku' is an expression used by Jung Hae-ri (played by Jin Ji-hee) in the sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof' for people she dislikes or is displeased with. Mainly, the Shin Se-kyung and Shin Shin-ae sisters and her older brother Jung Jun-hyuk were the targets of this expression, and it was particularly often used to refer to Shin Shin-ae. The origin of this catchphrase was revealed to be that Jung Hae-ri, as a child, first encountered the words 'Ppang-kku' (referring to a fart sound or a hole) and 'Ddong-kku' (referring to a butt or anus) after hearing her maternal grandfather Lee Soon-jae fart and her mother Lee Hyun-kyung scolding him, saying 'How can you stick your butt out and fart in front of a child?', and then combined them. This also contains the lesson that adults' influence is significant on children's language habits.

'Ppang-kku Ddong-kku' gained high recognition across all age groups through the popular sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof'. It was particularly popular among children as it was a child actress's catchphrase, and it was actively used by young people, from teenagers to those in their 30s, who were the main viewers of the sitcom. Considering that the Korea Communications Standards Commission commented that 'the expression is too harsh for an elementary school student', it can be inferred that it was widely used even among children.
