Meme Name: Emphasized and Repeated Sounds Make Dogs Anxious Pronunciation: Gang-joh-dweh-goh Bahn-bok-dweh-neun Soh-ree-neun Gang-ah-jee-reul Bool-ahn-hah-geh Hae-yoh

This meme began to gain significant popularity around July-August 2020. It originated from an episode titled 'Mickey, the Dog Afraid of the Floor' (aired February 26, 2016) from Season 1 of the EBS program 'There Are No Bad Dogs in the World,' which featured dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook. A clip from this broadcast was shared across various online communities, leading to its spread as a meme. Trainer Kang Hyung-wook himself mentioned this meme in August 2020, even apologizing for his exaggerated behavior at the time.

"Emphasized and repeated sounds make dogs anxious" is a phrase spoken by dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook when explaining communication methods with a dog to an owner. He pointed out that the owner's stiff and repetitive voice when calling the dog sounded like 'clap! clap! tap! tap!' (like clapping sounds) to the dog, causing anxiety. This meme gained more attention due to the contrast between trainer Kang Hyung-wook's sing-song, educational tone and the owner's low-pitched voice. Originally, it was advice on dog training, but now it's humorously used to mean that excessively repetitive or emphasized words or actions, directed at anyone, can make the other person uncomfortable or anxious.

This meme is widely used not only by people who watch trainer Kang Hyung-wook's broadcasts or are interested in pet-related content, but also by the general internet user base who enjoy internet meme culture. It is not limited to a specific age or gender; various people relate to it and use it.

• When someone keeps repeating the same words or nagging, it can be used metaphorically, such as "Emphasized and repeated sounds make people anxious."
• It is quoted to describe situations where specific words or phrases are excessively repeated, such as "No, no, no" or "Come here, come here, good boy/girl."
• It is used humorously to express situations where certain information or arguments are overly emphasized or repeated, causing fatigue to the listener.

This meme originally stemmed from serious advice related to the psychological well-being of dogs. Therefore, one should refrain from trivializing actions that could genuinely cause anxiety to actual dogs, or using it to disparage human communication styles. Furthermore, trainer Kang Hyung-wook himself mentioned his exaggerated expression at the time, so while understanding the humor of the meme, using it inappropriately can lead to misunderstandings.
