Definition
爆出 is a resultative verb compound meaning 'to suddenly emerge or be revealed'. It is most commonly used in news and media contexts for scandals, secrets, or shocking information that 'breaks out'. It can also describe something literally bursting out (e.g., liquid, fire). The 出 component indicates outward movement, so the focus is on something hidden becoming public.
