야야야!/쪼! 쪼! 쪼! 쪼! - 박명수

This meme began to gain public recognition around 2007 when Park Myung-soo actively showcased it, focusing on physical comedy in the MBC entertainment program 'Infinite Challenge'. The dance itself can be traced back to 1990s retro dance, particularly the "sky-pointing" move of 90s disco, the Cossack dance (a traditional Kazakh dance), and 8-bit Eurodance. In 2023, Park Myung-soo's 1999 techno album was mentioned as the origin of the song that became the "Jjo Jjo Dance." Unlike other popular dances that gained intense but short-lived popularity, the "Jjo Jjo Dance" has maintained a steady, long-term popularity, still being mentioned consistently to this day.

'Ya Ya Ya!/Jjo! Jjo! Jjo! Jjo!' is comedian Park Myung-soo's iconic dance, to the extent that Yoo Jae-suk described it as Park Myung-soo's identity. The dance involves extending and retracting both arms and legs, pointing to the sky with one hand, and performing a dab-like motion while pointing to both sides, all while adding the unique interjection "Jjo Jjo." Unlike other dances that are closer to freestyle, this dance has a somewhat formalized set of steps. Park Myung-soo explained that this dance was created by combining the Cossack dance, which was called the Tetris dance, with 8-bit Eurodance. Comedian Kim Hyun-chul claimed to be a co-creator, adding that it originated from DJs shouting "Jjo Jjo Jjo Jjo!" to fast remix songs in nightclubs.
