What Does This Mean?
A Korean-internet laughter marker — a string of the consonant ㅋ (pronounced roughly "k") repeated to represent laughter, the direct Korean-language counterpart to typing "haha" or "lol," with more repetitions reading as harder laughter.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"ㅋㅋㅋ he really just tripped over nothing"
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard Korean internet/text writing convention where the consonant ㅋ (the sound at the start of 크게 웃다, "to laugh loudly," and phonetically close to the laughter sound itself) is typed in repeated strings — ㅋㅋㅋ, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ — to represent laughter, romanized in English-language discussion of Korean internet culture as "kekeke" or "kk."
