Word origin

The term combines 본인 (bonin, "the person themself") and 확인 (hwagin, "checking"), so it names checking that the person involved is truly that person.

Usage tips

  • In Korean service notices, it often labels a required step, so a polite request containing it usually asks for completion of a process rather than for a spoken introduction.
