Where did guideverse (specifically espers) come from?

I've heard that guideverse/sentinel-guide AU stems from the show "The Sentinel," so I see how sentinel and guides are a thing, but how did espers come about?

Chinese manhua that features guideverse appear to stick with sentinels, and I've only so far seen espers specifically appear in manhwa, so I was wondering if it was a term coined from Korea? Or perhaps something else?

    Im not sure either and idw add to the confusion but ive always assumed it was just difference languages and translation? Cus its not like every word in chinese has a direct english translation, same w kr and vice versa
