앙딱정

The 'Angttakjeong' meme originated on February 18, 2024, from a controversy involving Kim Ji-woong, a member of the boy group ZEROBASEONE, regarding alleged swearing during a video call fan sign event. At the time, Kim Ji-woong made a specific comment on his Bubble platform, which led to the nickname 'Angttakjeong' and subsequently established it as a cult meme within idol fandoms. As of May 2024, popular YouTubers with millions of subscribers are also using this term, showing signs of its spread as a buzzword and into everyday language. By 2025, it had become widely popularized as an unofficial trending term.

'Angttakjeong' is an abbreviation of "앙 딱 정리 들어갈게" (Ang ttak jeong-ri deureogalge), which roughly translates to "Alright, I'll wrap things up now." This meme originated from a comment made by ZEROBASEONE member Kim Ji-woong on Bubble, following the controversy regarding alleged swearing during a video call fan sign event. Initially, it was used in a critical context related to the controversy. However, as the phrase 'Angttakjeong' itself became perceived as amusing, its usage gradually expanded within idol fandoms to refer to concluding or tidying up specific situations. On the same day, Kim Ji-woong's status message was changed to the four-character idiom "사필귀정 (事必歸正 - All wrongs will be righted)," leading to phrases like "사필귀정 앙딱정" (Sapilgwijeong Angttakjeong) being used together.

"Ang-ttak-jeong" (pronounced roughly as "Ahng-tahk-juhng"). The 'Ang' sounds like 'hang' without the 'h', 'ttak' has a hard 't' sound similar to 'tack', and 'jeong' is like the 'jung' in 'Jung-kook'.

This meme gained significant popularity primarily within idol fandoms, especially among female fans. In the early stages of the controversy, female communities and popular YouTubers contributed to its popularization by incorporating the term into vlog subtitles and other content. Currently, it is widely used across all age groups who are active internet users.
