The term has its origins in the Korean language, as the onomatopoeia ㅋㅋㅋ, in which ㅋ stands for the "k" sounds, like in raspy, stifled laughter. In the real-time strategy game Starcraft, because the game originally did not support the Korean language, the onomatopoeia was written as "Kekeke" which can be translated to "Hahaha" in English.

The meme in itself stems from a multiplayer match played by Koreans, who represent a significant portion of Starcraft's international fanbase. During the match, one of the Korean players launched an early Zergling rush attack against an opponent player, who exclaimed "OMG ZERG RUSH." In response, the Zerg player replied "KEKEKE," a popular Korean phrase that is comparable to "lolololol" in English. This conversation has been frequently cited as the origin, however, no visual evidence has been found to support the anecdote.
