Etymology 2

From South Korean MBC TV drama 5th Republic, which the prop group mistakenly used the wrong hanja "小將／小将 (xiǎojiàng)" instead of "少將／少将 (shàojiàng)" for "소장 (少將, sojang, “major general”)" in a nameplate of Chun Doo-hwan. Ultimately from Korean 소장(少將) (sojang).

Proper noun

小將

(Internet slang, humorous) Chun Doo-hwan.
