Period of Popularity
The phrase "나만 아니면 돼" (As long as it's not me) first gained popularity through Noh Hong-chul, an original cast member of Season 1 of the KBS variety show <2 Days & 1 Night>.

"나만 아니면 돼" (As long as it's not me) humorously expresses a selfish sentiment in the "bokbulbok" (game of chance/random penalty) segments, a core content of <2 Days & 1 Night>: "I just need to avoid the penalty." Originally, it was used to celebrate one's own escape from a penalty. Over time, its usage expanded to mock others' misfortunes while feeling safe, or to describe a situation where one observes a difficult event from a distance without being affected. "콜!" (Call!) is an expression used to readily accept someone's proposal or challenge. In the bokbulbok situations of <2 Days & 1 Night>, members often shout "콜!" to agree to missions or games, sometimes with the underlying sentiment of "나만 아니면 돼."
