Korean Word: Heol

This is a popular exclamation used in Korea when the person is surprised or being expressive.  Mainly used as a non-positive response. Normally use in the situation where you are embarrassing or surprising. 
Note: This texting slang is age sensitive. It is spoken (mostly by very young people), but 헐 (heol) can be seen in Korean texts used by people up to their late 20’s.
