Geuk-dae-no (pronounced 'Gook-day-noh')

The 'Geuk-dae-no' meme originated from the SBS sitcom 'Can't Stop Them' (웬만해선 그들을 막을 수 없다), which aired from 2000 to 2002. In the sitcom, the character Nogoo, played by actor Shin Goo, categorized his anger into five stages, with 'Geuk-dae-no' representing the highest level. This portrayal gained significant popularity at the time and has since been consistently used as an internet meme. It remains actively used in online broadcasts and communities even in the 2020s.

'Geuk-dae-no' is an internet slang term that signifies 'extreme great anger.'

The term 'Geuk-dae-no' was used to designate the highest level of this anger scale, meaning 'anger pushed to its absolute limit.' It is used to exaggerate or playfully express a state of intense fury.
