Judging from tweets, I don't think it's become an established term except maybe among ネトウヨ.
I still don't think it's needed. But if I'm not winning this argument, I think the explanation should go on the first gloss. It's crucial to understanding the meaning.

I think it has become an established term in Japanese that is not always accompanied by an explanation. I'd like to keep it.

But most of those hits are "Koreans are using this term to describe their country". They're not examples of real use. I think this is fine for an encyclopedia but not for a JE dictionary.

Plenty of WWW hits for the Japanese version. I think it;s best kept.
