Both Nard's and Plum's guesses are close. Not DEAD ON, but close. There are several ways that this can be used in context.

"Aigoo chamnah, this is ridiculous."
(People add chamnah sometimes, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't add anything except a few syllables.)

Yep, there ya go.
I can't find an origin because it's been used for so long.
Good grief is the most common usage.
"Aigoo, neujuht ddah."
That could be "Oh, darn" (it basically means, "Oh, darn. We were late.")'
ETA: Some of my other favorite Korean terms (to freak out all my non-Korean speaking friends)
Noogah Geu(rl)etni? - Who said that?
Mwoh Hanni? - What are you doing?/What are you up to?
Ommonah... - (Used mainly by women) Oh my god.../Incredible...
Yah, nuh jeenjjah jahllatddah! - Oooo, you're so clever. [Sarcastic].
