A critical, derisive term for excessive and uncritical nationalistic pride, comparing the feeling to being drugged or high and therefore unable to view one's own country objectively.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The documentary was pure gukppong, framing every historical footnote as proof of national greatness."
LORE & ORIGIN
A compound of 국가 (nation) and 뽕, with 뽕 derived from 히로뽕/hiroppon (the Korean phonetic name for the drug philopon/methamphetamine, from a Japanese brand name) — not from 'histamine.' It's believed to have started in history and pseudohistory discussion circles criticizing exaggerated nationalist claims before spreading widely, drawing notable mainstream media coverage by around 2016.
