Original
Popularity Period
This meme originated from the famous line "Manners Maketh Man" uttered by Harry Hart (Galahad), played by Colin Firth, in the movie 'Kingsman: The Secret Service,' which premiered in Korea on February 11, 2015. Thanks to the explosive popularity of the film, this line quickly gained traction and has been consistently used and parodied across various media.
Meaning
The phrase "Manners Maketh Man" is originally a famous saying by William of Wykeham, an English theologian and statesman, and is well-known as the motto of Winchester College. In the movie 'Kingsman: The Secret Service,' it appears as a line quietly recited by the protagonist Harry Hart as he locks the pub door, just before punishing rude individuals. It is used as a symbolic expression that goes beyond simply observing etiquette, warning that ill-mannered behavior can lead to corresponding consequences. When used as a meme, the original 'manners' or 'maketh man' parts are often cleverly twisted by replacing them with other words, or used to satirize or emphasize specific situations.
Pronunciation
An English speaker would read the meme name as the original English movie quote, followed by the movie title and the actors' names: "Manners Maketh Man (Kingsman: The Secret Service) - Colin Firth and Taron Egerton." The Korean phrase "매너가 사람을 만든다" is a direct translation of "Manners Maketh Man."
Target Audience
Thanks to the high popularity of the movie 'Kingsman: The Secret Service,' this meme is widely known and used across all age groups and by both men and women. It has such widespread public recognition that not only those who have seen the movie but also those who haven't are familiar with the meme itself.
