나 천지호야, 천지호! - 성동일 (드라마 추노)

The drama 'Chuno' aired on KBS 2TV from January 6 to March 25, 2010, achieving high viewership ratings and significant popularity during its run. The character Cheon Ji-ho, played by actor Sung Dong-il, received much love from viewers for his 'insane presence' that rivaled the main characters, and his signature line, "I'm Cheon Ji-ho, Cheon Ji-ho~!", began to trend from the time the drama aired. Even after the drama concluded, its popularity continued, with actor Sung Dong-il appearing in commercials as Cheon Ji-ho. This meme is consistently referenced, to the extent that KBS released a video in 2021 highlighting Cheon Ji-ho's famous scenes and lines once again.

"I'm Cheon Ji-ho, Cheon Ji-ho~!" is the signature line used by the slave hunter Cheon Ji-ho (played by Sung Dong-il) in the drama 'Chuno' to assert his presence or threaten others. Cheon Ji-ho was a complex character who, despite being a cruel slave hunter, sometimes showed his humane and comical sides. This line, combined with Cheon Ji-ho's uniquely sly and psychopathic tone, his habit of tilting his head, and his distinctive laugh, left a strong impression. As a meme, it is primarily used to emphasize one's identity, to make one's presence known in a certain situation, or to express confidence with a somewhat boastful attitude.

"Nah Chun-jee-ho-yah, Chun-jee-ho~! - Sung Dong-il (Drama Choo-noh)"

The drama 'Chuno' gained nationwide popularity during its broadcast, and the character Cheon Ji-ho received as much love as the main protagonists. Therefore, this meme is widely recognized and used across all age groups, primarily among generations who watched the drama.

This meme is primarily used to emphasize one's presence or to reveal one's identity in a specific situation, often with a touch of "dignity" (or mock dignity). For example, one might announce their arrival in a gathering or chatroom by saying, "I'm Cheon Ji-ho, Cheon Ji-ho~!", or humorously use it to assert their expertise in a particular field. Additionally, it is sometimes used in conjunction with another of Cheon Ji-ho's famous lines, "I may not repay favors, but I, Cheon Ji-ho, will surely repay grudges!", to express strong determination. The OST 'Bakkwo' from the drama 'Chuno' has also been parodied, blending exquisitely with videos like the Diablo 3 cinematic opening or One Piece collaboration videos
