What 볼 means
The phrase around it decides which Korean word it represents.
As a noun, 볼 can mean cheek, foot or shoe width, or a patch in a sock. It also means “ball”; in baseball, it is a pitch outside the strike zone. 볼 영화 (“a movie to watch”) comes from 보다 (“to see/watch”).
Hangul, Korea’s writing system, was created in 1443 and publicly explained in 1446 to make Korean writing accessible. A dictionary records the cheek sense from 1608.
