What 팩폭 means
Short for 팩트 폭력, “fact violence.” Words or actions that use a hard-to-refute truth to poke at something a person would rather keep hidden.
Origin
Asia Economy (2016) and Namuwiki trace it to online sports communities. Who first used it, and exactly when, is unconfirmed.
In English
No exact match, but “truth bomb” comes close. There's also the English-language meme “truth nuke.”
Careful
Being true doesn't make it fine. Outside jokes between close friends, it can land as verbal abuse.
