돈가스 좋아하세요? - 스윙스

This meme began gaining public recognition on December 12, 2018, when rapper Swings appeared on the Hong-eun-dong episode of SBS's 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant'. His scene of deliciously eating donkatsu (pork cutlet) led to him being known as 'Donkatsu Man'. Later, in September 2019, the phrase officially spread as a meme after Swings mentioned on a broadcast that "Do you like donkatsu?" was a way to capture women's hearts.

The "Do you like donkatsu~?" meme originates from rapper Swings' iconic nickname, 'Donkatsu'. In the past, after Giriboy's elimination from 'Show Me The Money 3', Swings jokingly said in an interview, "I did it to get some donkatsu." Later, his scene eating donkatsu on 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' became a hot topic, making 'donkatsu' a key identifier for Swings. Specifically, the question "Do you like donkatsu?" is used to imitate Swings' characteristic confident and smooth attitude, or as a humorous attempt to approach someone in a friendly way. Swings himself revealed that he was initially sensitive to the meme, as it was used to mock him, but he later learned to enjoy it.

This meme was primarily used among hip-hop music fans, viewers of the 'Show Me The Money' series, and 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant', reaching a broad public. It was particularly active within Swings' fandom and among online community users.

As Swings himself has stated that he previously had negative feelings about the 'Donkatsu' nickname, using this meme with someone who is not a Swings fan or is unfamiliar with the meme could lead to misunderstanding or cause offense. Furthermore, to those unaware of the meme's origin, it might sound like a random or out-of-the-blue question, so it is advisable to consider the situation and the other person when using it.
