There is not a widely documented origin for Bal Gemi that can be stated with confidence from the available details alone. Online, it appears mainly as a short meme sound traded through soundboards, reposts, and small reaction edits where creators need a very quick comedic sting. Its staying power comes from its length: it is easy to drop into almost any joke without interrupting the pacing. That makes it useful for abrupt punchlines, ironic cutaways, and low-effort humor that depends on precise timing rather than a long setup.
