욕심쟁이 우후훗! - 유세윤 (무릎팍도사)

This meme began to gain popularity when comedian Yoo Se-yoon was active as the 'Arrogant Guru' character on the MBC entertainment program 'Golden Fishery - The Knee-Drop Guru'. 'The Knee-Drop Guru' first aired on January 3, 2007, and ran until August 22, 2013. In this program, Yoo Se-yoon showcased his unique arrogant charm by reading guests' profiles. By 2011, this catchphrase was already so well-known that Yoo Se-yoon himself referred to it as a "sad catchphrase." Subsequently, the meme was mentioned again with news of 'The Knee-Drop Guru's' return in 2012, and even in 2022, it continues to be referenced as a phrase symbolizing Yoo Se-yoon's iconic character. It has consistently been used alongside the program's popularity, establishing itself as a long-loved meme.

'Yoksimjaengi Uhuhut!' is a signature phrase Yoo Se-yoon would utter as the 'Arrogant Guru' character on 'The Knee-Drop Guru' after listening to guests' concerns or wishes. It was primarily used when a guest revealed a desire or wish, playfully and slyly pointing it out with a nuance of "You're quite greedy, aren't you?" The added "Uhuhut" laughter sound served to playfully acknowledge the other person's greed in a cute and humorous way, while also enhancing the fun by emphasizing the 'Arrogant Guru' character's traits. It subtly acknowledges the other person's hopes or desires while cleverly hinting at the idea of wanting too much.
