I guess you're wondering about rock-paper-scissors, right?
In Korean, rock-paper-scissors is '가위 바위 보'
가위 is scissors, 바위 is rock and then why 'paper' is '보'?
I don't know why exactly, but 보 (or 보자기) is a traditional Korean cloth made square to wrap or cover things, as shown in the picture.
If you spread 보 (or 보자기) wide, it's similar to the spread of the palm. So I think that's why paper in rock-paper-scissors is called '보'.
