Variety show speak: the 오프닝 멘트 toolkit

Running Man noise is a dialect. Learn the captions.

L’explication est en anglais. Les lignes coréennes et le sens suivent votre langue.

레전드 (legend) means something went beautifully wrong. 대박 (daebak) covers jackpot, wow, and no-way across all contexts. 헐 (heol) is the younger sibling — disbelief in one syllable.

The W sound of variety: 아 다했다 (ah, it's over), 나 왔다 (I'm out), 그만해 (stop it!). Variety captions invent verb forms daily, but these templates recur for a decade.

미쳤어 (you're crazy — in the good way) is the highest compliment variety Korea can give. Pair with 대박 and you can caption your own life: 시험 끝! 미쳤어! 대박!
