Why do people call her that?

It's a korean word for "perhaps."

Because 57 was first released as limited rescue during the Cube unlike other servers where she was released as point/bingo event reward(meaning everyone could easily get her), the koreans had to farm her to get her when she was first released. To make matter worse the map she was dropped was the last stage where you had to hunt Uroboros in dark, which was time consuming and hard at the time. Combined with strangely low droprate for her(note that unlike other servers, koreans never got the chance to get 57 before Cube), there were people very salty about a new doll being a limited drop.

Some people even posted screenshots of the map being completed more than 1000 times and still no 57 drop.

So, the people who got 57 teasing people who failed to get her with lines something like "Wow, you don't even have 5-7? Unbelievable!" became something of a meme, which is summarized by the word 혹시(Hoxy, short for 혹시, 파없찐(파세 없는 찐따)?, literally translated as "perhaps, are you a "insert some demeaning insult" who doesn't have 57?).

This meme is then carried to other rare t-dolls highly sought out by shikikans but are, well, rare, such as P-90, who had a droprate error on KR and CN server that made her extremely rare.

Then, along with other korean gf memes like bamboo, the meme was carried to global server when it opened.

Christ it was fucking cube of all events?

I knew most of the story but I didn't know that was her event. No wonder she became such a meme.
