1. What does it mean?
억빠 shortens 억지로 빠는 것, forcibly praising or idolizing something. It criticizes support that seems exaggerated, selective, or unsupported by the facts. It is paired with 억까, unfair criticism.
Also written or said as eokppa
2. The nuance
This is a dismissive judgment about bias, not a neutral synonym for being a fan. Someone sincerely liking something you dislike is not automatically 억빠.
3. Examples
“단점까지 장점이라고 하면 억빠처럼 들려.”
Calling even the flaws strengths makes the praise sound forced.
“억빠도 억까도 말고 실제 플레이를 보고 얘기하자.”
Let's judge the actual play, without forced praise or unfair criticism.
