Infinite Challenge(무한도전), EP195, 2010/03/06, MBC TV, Republic of Korea

 

 

In Episode 195, Yoo Jae-Seok, Jeong Hyeong-Don, and Noh Hong-Cheol (3 Infinite Challenge members)

leave to Alaska and visit the Anchorage Korean Korean Community Center

to find a person named Kim Sang-Deok.

While talking with the local residents of Alaska at the time, including

Grandpa Choi Gyu-Jae and Kwon Oh-Seong, Infinite Challenge's members asked them

if they know about Infinite Challenge,

and Grandpa Kwon Oh-Seong humbly replied that he did not know them, but Grandpa Choi Kyu-Jae said,

"We watch it a lot". However, when Noh Hong-Cheol shouted 

"MuHan~(Infinite~)", which is Infinite Challenge's slogan,

Grandpa Choi Kyu-Jae replied with "MuYaHo~!" out of the blue.

 

- Correct Slogan -

 

"MuHan~(Infinite~)"

"DoJeon~!(Challenge~!)"

 

 

-Grandpa Choi Kyu-Jae-

 

"MuHan~(Infinite~)"

"MuYaHo~!(??????)"

 

?????

 

Jeong Hyeong-Don tried not to embarrass the Grandpa Choi Kyu-Jae by saying, "That's how much excited he is~"

and this phrase also became a meme.

 

"그만큼 신나시는 거지~ (GeuManKeum SinNaSiNeun GeoJi~)"

That's how much excited he is~

 

 

<Exclamation / Interjection> 야호 YaHo ;

'야호(YaHo)' means 'Hooray / Hurray / Yay' in English

It's an exclamation word that people shout at the mountain or echoey environment to listen to the echo.

Expression word of excitement or joy.

 

<Neologism / Internet Slang> 무야호 MuYaHo;

It doesn't have any specific circumstance that this word can be used since it is

meaningless slang. And that is a whole point of it. Say it out of blue. Like the guy from

Infinite Challenge did on the show. Just say "MuYaHo" out of nowhere.

 

 

 

Infinite Challenge + Hooray = In+ooray = Inooray

무한도전 + 야호 = 무+야호 = 무야호

MuHanDoJeon + YaHo = Mu+YaHo = MuYaHo

 

 

 

 

"Hurray~!" He shouted top of the mountain.

"야호~!" 산 정상에서 그가 외쳤다.

"YaHo~!" San Jeong-Sang-E-Seo GeuGa OeChyeotDa.

 

 

 

"Hooray~!! It's a vacation!"

"야호~!! 방학이다!"

"YaHo~!! Bang-Hak-i-Da!"
