Jee-geum-kka-jee ee-reon mat-eun eop-seot-da ee-geot-eun gal-bee-een-ga tong-dak-een-ga - Ryoo Seung-ryong (Geuk-han-jeek-eop)

This meme originated from the movie 'Extreme Job,' released in 2019, which attracted 16 million viewers and became the second highest-grossing film in Korean box office history. Upon its release, the movie gained immense popularity, sparking a nationwide 'Suwon Wang Galbi Fried Chicken' craze.

“There has never been a taste like this before. Is this galbi or fried chicken? Yeah~ It’s Suwon Wang Galbi Fried Chicken!” is a promotional line for a fried chicken restaurant, which Detective Go Sang-gi (played by actor Ryu Seung-ryong) covertly establishes in the movie 'Extreme Job.' This line emphasizes a unique flavor so delicious it blurs the line between galbi (marinated short ribs) and fried chicken, used to express surprise and high praise for an unexpected combination. It is said that the line was inspired by writer Bae Se-young's experience of deliberating between chicken and galbi in Suwon.

As the movie 'Extreme Job' received nationwide love, this meme is widely used by all generations and both genders who watched the film. It is particularly often used in situations to express surprise about food or unexpected combinations.

• Used when tasting new food that is so unique and excellent that it elicits an exclamation of admiration.
• Can be used to humorously describe a situation where two or more elements combine perfectly to create synergy.
• Also used metaphorically to describe an unexpected success or a big hit.
• Lee Yong-jin quoted this line in the comedy program 'Comedy Big League.'
