[…] Though it may sound like a Korean word or the name of a new boy band, IJBOL (pronounced "eej-bowl") actually stands for "I just burst out laughing." […] Though the acronym IJBOL was entered into Urban Dictionary in 2009, it picked up in 2021 among the K-pop fan community, who would endearingly categorize their idols according to internet acronyms.”

It's just a sillier version of lmao.”, in Mashable, archived from the original on 2023-08-14: “Thinking ijbol is a Korean word is not an uncommon sentiment among some fans. Some of the confusion stems from English-speaking K-pop fans' proclivity to phonetically spell out Korean words. For example, fans write the exclamation 제발 as jebal.”
