테토-에겐 성격 유형

The Teto-Egen Personality Type meme first appeared on June 2, 2021, in an article analyzing the "Dating Food Chain" by Lee Sang-soo on the Naver blog 'Soosung Diary'. It gradually began to spread after Instatoon artist Naejjo reinterpreted this concept into a webtoon and posted it on Instagram on March 21, 2024. By mid-2025, the terms 'Tetoman' and 'Egenwoman' became highly popular, establishing it as a mainstream meme. Sexual stereotypes such as 'masculinity' and 'femininity' resonated with the sentiments of Korean society, significantly contributing to its popularity.

The Teto-Egen Personality Type is an internet meme that classifies human dating and personality types. 'Teto' is short for testosterone (male hormone), and 'Egen' is short for estrogen (female hormone). It categorizes personality types based on the characteristics of these sex hormones. This meme is a pseudoscientific personality theory, similar to MBTI or blood type personality theories, explaining a cyclical structure where each type is attracted to one another in dating relationships. The basic cycle is Egenwoman → Egenman → Tetowoman → Tetoman → Egenwoman, forming a continuous loop.

This meme is used to categorize individuals based on perceived "hormonal" personality traits, particularly in the context of dating and relationships. It provides a framework for discussing attraction dynamics and personal characteristics in a lighthearted, pseudoscientific manner, similar to other popular personality tests.

This meme is widely used among internet users in Korea, particularly those interested in personality types and relationship dynamics. While no specific age group or gender is explicitly targeted, its spread through online platforms like Instagram and webtoons suggests popularity among younger demographics.
