뜻
Encouraging persistence.
문화적 배경
The phrase was a national motto during the COVID-19 pandemic, often seen as '#alleensamen #houvol'. Flemish speakers use 'Hou vol' similarly, but might also use 'Komaan' (Come on) more frequently in casual sports contexts. In ice skating (the national sport), 'volhouden' is the difference between winning and losing on the final lap.
