꼬라지하고는!!! 호호호! - 한예슬, <환상의 커플>

The Korean phrase '꼬라지하고는' is pronounced 'Koh-rah-jee hah-goh-neun,' followed by 'Ho-ho-ho' (like a laugh). The full meme name, including the source, would be read as 'Koh-rah-jee hah-goh-neun~!!! Ho-ho-ho!' (from Han Ye-seul, <Couple or Trouble>).

This meme originated and gained significant popularity in 2006, during the broadcast of the MBC drama <Couple or Trouble> (환상의 커플), as a famous line spoken by the main character, Anna Jo (Na Sang-shil).

'Kkoraji hagoneun~!!! Hohoho!' is a representative line from the character 'Na Sang-shil,' played by actress Han Ye-seul in the 2006 MBC drama <Couple or Trouble>. It was used by the arrogant and prickly chaebol Anna Jo after she suffered amnesia and became 'Na Sang-shil,' to mock or ridicule someone's absurd or pathetic situation. This line perfectly encapsulates Na Sang-shil's unique tsundere charm—annoying yet endearing. It carries a nuance of disdain or mockery towards the other person.

Initially, it gained explosive popularity among young people during the drama's broadcast in 2006, creating a 'Na Sang-shil Syndrome.' In 2024, with drama clips resurfacing on social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok, it is now being consumed by a broader age range, particularly among younger generations.

Examples:

• When a friend makes an absurd mistake: "How dare you make such a mistake? Kkoraji hagoneun~!!! Hohoho!"
• When scoffing at someone's pathetic behavior: "Do you really think that makes sense? Kkoraji hagoneun~!!! Hohoho!"
• It is often used with 'jjalbangs' (image macros) or short video clips to add visual humor.

Precautions:

• This meme carries a strong nuance of mocking or ridiculing others, so it can be misunderstood or sound rude if not used among close friends. Care should be taken, as using it without considering the situation and context can offend others.
