Original

Period of Popularity

Gamst's "Gwanjetap" meme began gaining significant popularity after he started broadcasting on AfreecaTV in 2012, particularly around 2015-2016. In 2018, Gamst even performed this "Gwanjetap Dance" on a university festival stage, demonstrating its widespread appeal.

Meaning

This meme originated from the lyrics 'Turn it up louder' in Kill The Noise and Tommy Trash's song 'Louder,' which sounded like 'Gwanjetap Louder' (관제탑 라우러) to Korean ears. To this music, Gamst performs a unique and comical dance: with a serious expression, he pulls his chin back to create a double chin, spins around holding a chair, and then extends his arms out to the sides during the drop. This peculiar, bizarre dance combined with the 'sticky' pronunciation (referring to the misheard lyrics) brought great laughter to viewers and became one of Gamst's signature reactions.

Target Audience

It was primarily used actively among the fandom of internet broadcaster Gamst and international football (soccer) fans. Gamst has a broad viewership, engaging in football commentary and various content on AfreecaTV and YouTube.
