Popularity Period

These phrases began to actively trend after the movie 'The Roundup' (also known as 'Crime City 2') was released on May 18, 2022. As the film surpassed 10 million viewers and gained immense popularity, its memorable lines quickly spread across online communities and social media.

Meaning

Popular phrases from 'The Roundup' primarily originated from the distinctive lines of its main characters, including Detective Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok), the villain Kang Hae-sang (played by Son Suk-ku), and Jang I-soo (played by Park Ji-hwan), who played a memorable supporting role. Kang Hae-sang's line, "Do I look like a rental car guy to you? You've been kidnapped," is used to fluster someone or create a threatening situation. Its strong impact made it an iconic line representing Kang Hae-sang and 'The Roundup.' Ma Seok-do's line, "You're no good. You just need a beating. If you feel like you're going to die from it, then... ring the bell. I'll let you off," is parodied when giving a strong warning or showing an overwhelming presence to someone. Captain Jeon Il-man's line, "If you go, that's an investigation!" gained popularity from a scene where he wittily criticizes Ma Seok-do's reckless investigation style. The back-and-forth lines between Ma Seok-do and Jang I-soo, such as "Damn it... You son of a bitch, really, you bastard!", are often quoted in comedic situations. Additionally, Ma Seok-do's exchange, "Who are you? Kkabuli: I'm Kkabuli? Ma Seok-do: You're messing around, you bastard!", is used to playfully reprimand someone who is being cheeky. The line "Need money? Should I share some with you? ... Who's the 5?" from the confrontation between Ma Seok-do and Kang Hae-sang is used to humorously assert one's dominance in negotiation or distribution situations.

Pronunciation

The meme name itself, 'Popular Phrases from The Roundup,' is pronounced as it's written in English. For the original Korean title, '범죄도시 2 (Beom-joe-do-si 2),' it's pronounced roughly as 'Bum-jweh-doh-shee Ee.' Key character names like Ma Seok-do (마석도) are pronounced 'Mah Seok-doh,' Kang Hae-sang (강해상) as 'Kahng Hae-sahng,' and Jang I-soo (장이수) as 'Jahng Ee-soo.'

Target Audience

'The Roundup' achieved massive success, becoming the first film to surpass 10 million viewers after the pandemic, leading to its widespread consumption by men and women of all ages who watched the movie. It is particularly popular among action movie enthusiasts aged 20 to 40, and fans of actor Ma Dong-seok.

Usage Examples

  • When a friend playfully demands something or is in an unexpected situation: "Do I look like a rental car guy to you? You've been kidnapped."
  • When strongly warning someone about their absurd behavior or showing an overwhelming attitude: "You're no good. You just need a beating. If you feel like you're going to die from it, then... ring the bell. I'll let you off."
  • When playfully reprimanding someone who is being unnecessarily cheeky or stepping out of line: "Who are you? Kkabuli: I'm Kkabuli? Ma Seok-do: You're messing around, you bastard!"
  • When wittily expressing that an action might be perceived differently from its original intention: "If you go, that's an investigation! If you go on that blind date, that's an investigation!"
  • When expressing dissatisfaction with a proposal or humorously asserting one's dominance: "Need money? Should I share some with you? ... Who's the 5?"
  • When comically expressing frustration or annoyance about an absurd situation: "Damn it... You son of a bitch, really, you bastard!"

Usage Precautions

Many lines from the movie contain profanity or imply violent situations, so their use should be avoided in formal settings or situations requiring politeness. Specifically, lines like "You've been kidnapped" or "Ring the bell" can sound threatening, so it's best to use them lightly only among close friends. Furthermore, be cautious as these phrases might cause misunderstandings if the other person hasn't seen the movie or doesn't understand the meme.
