요즘따라 내거인 듯 내거 아닌 내거 같은 너 - 소유×정기고의 '썸' 가사

Meme Name: These days, you're like mine, but not mine, but also mine - Lyrics from Soyou x Junggigo's 'Some'

The Korean phrase is "요즘따라 내거인 듯 내거 아닌 내거 같은 너 - 소유×정기고의 '썸' 가사". It is pronounced roughly as: Yoh-jeum-tah-rah neh-guh-in dewt neh-guh ah-nin neh-guh gah-teun nuh - Soh-yoo and Jeong-gee-goh's 'Sseom' gah-sah.

This meme began to gain significant popularity starting February 7, 2014, when Soyou and Junggigo's duet song 'Some' was released. The song topped music charts in 2014, gaining immense popularity, and its core lyric, "You're like mine, but not mine, but also mine," became a widely used, versatile idiom across all generations that year.

"These days, you're like mine, but not mine, but also mine" is an expression derived from the lyrics of Soyou and Junggigo's song 'Some'. This phrase accurately describes the complex and subtle emotions of a 'some' relationship – an ambiguous state between being just friends and being lovers – and resonated deeply with many. Subsequently, it expanded beyond just romantic relationships to become a universal meme used to describe any ambiguous state where something doesn't fully belong to a certain category, nor is it completely outside of it.

When this meme was popular in 2014, it was widely used across all age groups, to the extent that it was recorded as being used "regardless of generation." It gained widespread popularity by cleverly expressing ambiguous situations that anyone, regardless of age or gender, could relate to.

This meme is used in various situations, often transformed into the pattern 'like ○○, but not ○○, but also like ○○'.

• "Me, like an office worker, but not an office worker, but also like an office worker" (e.g., when having to work on weekends)
• "A relationship like friends, but not friends, but also like friends" (when describing a 'some' relationship)
• "A snack like a meal, but not a meal, but also like a meal" (when describing a snack eaten as a meal replacement)
• "A game like studying, but not studying, but also like studying" (when feeling like you're learning something while playing a game)
