The dish has its origins in a predecessor often called kkulkkuri-juk () that was created around the time of the Korean War, when South Korea was experiencing significant poverty. A prominent ingredient of the dish, SPAM, was only made legally available for sale in 1987, around the time that South Korea democratized.
