잼민이 meaning - jaemmin-i meaning

Korean[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From an alteration of 재민 (Jaemin, “a common boy's name”), where its initial character was replaced with a similar sounding 잼 (jaem), a contraction of 재미 (jaemi, “fun”) + 이 (-i, noun-deriving suffix).

Apparently, in its initial conception, the term did not carry a negative connotation. Instead, it was a neutral term for all school-age children. However, it soon developed its negative sense to describe school-age children, typically on the internet, displaying frowned-upon behaviour.

Pronunciation[edit]

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [t͡ɕɛmmini] ~ [t͡ɕe̞mmini]
• Phonetic hangul: [잼미니/젬미니]

Noun[edit]

잼민이 • (jaemmini)

1. (neologism, Internet slang, often derogatory) a young immature person, especially those of elementary school age [from late 2010s]
