Period of Popularity
'Aljalttakkalsen' first appeared in June 2018 during a live broadcast of a collaboration contest between internet streamer Woowakgood and Fila. Later, in 2020, BTS member Jimin mentioned this phrase during a new word quiz, which led to its widespread popularization and even topped real-time search rankings. Since then, it has appeared in subtitles and dialogue of various broadcast programs like MBC and tvN, and gained widespread popularity, being mentioned in dramas like 'Crash Course in Romance' and Overwatch hero guide videos.
Meaning
This meme is an abbreviation of '알아서 잘 딱 깔끔하고 센스있게' (araseo jal ttak kkalkkeumhago senseu-itge), which translates to "do it on your own, well, precisely, cleanly, and with good sense." It is also used in a shorter form, '알잘딱' (aljalttak). It originated when streamer Woowakgood used it during interactions with viewers, asking them to manage or skillfully handle situations in response to excessive requests or feedback. It is used to express a request or expectation for someone to handle a task independently, skillfully, neatly, and with good sense.
