It really depends on how you say the word (your intonation)
"Wae" is more like a why than a what. Normally you say "wae" as if you are asking a question, like "wae?"=why. But if say the word as if you were shouting, it can be interpreted as "so what?"="Wae!"
boula (x) molla (O) means I don't know in korean, not what.
mueo means what in korean.
I hope this helps

I would say it's more said like "mool-ah"? Or "mool" for short. Sometimes "mool-ah-gul" for bizarre situations.
"mool" is more casual. "mool-ah" is more shocked.
