The phrase quickly caught on among the general public and is now used commonly among those who drink.

Taeyeon revealed how the term came to be, saying, "I drank alcohol that is only 2-3% in Japan and my face turned red. I even passed out. The Girls' Generation members made fun of me and said I was trash at drinking alcohol."

The idol also joked, "There are too many alcohol trash out there!"
