Typical Korean Crazy
refers to a stereotype of korean girls who are extremely materialistic, needy, demanding, and selfish. Dating TKC means you are the purse carrier, the cook, the bank, and recipient of more bipolar drama than you can handle. They're looking for money and status, or someone they can bend to their every whim.
The closer to Seol, the more you'll find.
Also be aware FOBs could potentially be TKC, but those born outside of korea are less likely.

At best, its a a toxic positivity rebrand of ADHD or indecision insecurity. At worst, its a con.
The word's origin comes from a TedX(lol) which culminated with a sales pitch to funnel people into an expensive private membership online group. It’s an insidious ruse to prey on people who feel like they don’t fit and are hoping to find their “tribe” here.
We already have words to describe similar attributes, such as multi-talented, polymath, Renaissance Man, but these speak to multiple expertise. To proudly claim you have multiple potentials is simply to say you are a human being, like everyone else, but desire a special label. It's the participation trophy of semantics.
Having multiple interests and pursuits is a common experience for many people, and it's a natural part of being human to have a variety of passions and hobbies. It is not a special subgroup of humanity that needs a label to recognize "potential."
In the most generous interpretation, the term aims to provide validation and encouragement for people who find it difficult to commit to a single career path or interest area, often because they feel drawn to multiple disciplines.

We multipotentialites are a different breed. When it comes to new interests that emerge, our insatiable curiosity leads us to absorb everything we can get our hands on.
