its a pretty common expression in korea (at least ive heard it quite a few times). Its like saying "lifes a bitch, and then you marry one".

I doubt they meant anything by it...

Is korea going pc suddenly?

This has caused a huge s***storm and backlash within SNU, although no official action was taken as the expression is an implicit, abbreviated form so that its users could 'claim' that they meant something else of the same abbreviation.
The term, at least its contemporary form as an internet lingo, originates from a forum that is loosely equivalent to 4chan in the U.S., which is then almost universally despised by most other internet users for a variety of reasons beyond misogyny.

I assume these guys are young, and I might lean towards cutting them some slack. I've meet quite a few under-30-ish back home that have no idea how some terms mean, or originated, like "Skirt chaser", "skirt", "Wears the pants in the relationship", "bring home the bacon"...

At least Korea cares. 'Beats by Ray' for Ravens fans and 'Ben There, Raped That' for Steelers fans were two of the most popular fantasy football team names and earned a collective yawn. What they're doing is par for the course on online gaming. I mean go play any multiplayer game and just listen to the racism and sexism pour out.

That being said, these things belong in the past and these little twits need to be checked.
