The dish is a relatively recent invention, having developed during and after the 1910–1945 Japanese colonial period. It achieved popularity beginning in the late 1990s, and has since become a dish widely associated with Jeju.

Its qualities reportedly notably differ depending on the restaurant it is served in. The noodles can either be thick or thin, or even be typical Japanese ramen noodles. The broth is generally described as "light" or "clean", with various techniques and ingredients used to achieve this effect.
