Kkwachuhyeong (꽈추형)

The 'Kkwachuhyeong' meme began to gain significant popularity around September 2021, when urologist Dr. Hong Sung-woo appeared on the YouTube channel 'Boda'. He gained immense popularity for his uniquely frank and witty way of addressing sex education and sex life-related questions. It was during this time that he earned the nicknames 'Kkwachujwa' and 'Kkwachuhyeong' due to his novel way of referring to the penis as 'kkwachu'. Subsequently, by opening his own YouTube channel and continuing broadcast activities, he maintained public recognition and expanded his influence as a meme throughout 2022 and 2023.

'Kkwachuhyeong' is a nickname and meme referring to Dr. Hong Sung-woo, a urologist. Through YouTube and broadcasts, he openly discussed topics related to sex, playing a role in making the field of urology more familiar to the public. The meme 'Kkwachuhyeong' was formed by combining his unique character and expertise, particularly his cheerful approach to sex-related topics and his use of the friendly term 'kkwachu' for the penis.

Pronounced roughly as 'Kwah-choo-hyung'. The 'Kwah' sounds like 'qua' in 'quack' but with a slightly harder 'k' sound. 'Choo' is like 'choo' in 'choose'. 'Hyung' is similar to 'hyung' in 'hyung-nim' or 'hung' with a 'y' sound before it.
