너 납치된 거야. - 강해상

Meme Name: You've been kidnapped. - Kang Hae-sang (Pronunciation: Nuh nap-chee-dwen guh-yah. - Kahng Hae-sahng)

This meme began to gain significant popularity with the release of the movie 'The Roundup' (범죄도시 2) on May 18, 2022.

"You've been kidnapped." is a famous line from Kang Hae-sang (played by Son Suk-ku), the villain in the 2022 film 'The Roundup' (범죄도시 2). In the movie, Kang Hae-sang reveals his true colors to Choi Yong-gi, who approached him disguised as a rental car businessman, and utters this line.

When used as a meme, it can literally describe a situation where someone is forcibly captured or trapped. However, it is mostly used humorously to express being deeply engrossed in something or someone, unable to escape. For example, when someone is deeply infatuated with their favorite celebrity (최애, 'bias') or has purchased specific merchandise, it's used like "You've been kidnapped by OOO." Additionally, the 'kidnapped' part can be replaced with other words to create situation-specific parodies, such as "You've been flooded" (너 침수된 거야).

Thanks to the explosive success of the movie 'The Roundup' (범죄도시 2), this meme became widely known across all age groups. It is particularly popular among younger generations, aged 10s to 30s, and internet community users, as it is frequently used to describe situations of being deeply absorbed in a favorite celebrity or hobby.

• "Do I look like a rental car businessman to you? You've been kidnapped." (Kang Hae-sang's line from the movie)
• "I've been completely kidnapped by this idol. I can't escape."
• "I got so into a new game that I played all night; you've been kidnapped."
• During the heavy rainfall in 2022, it was parodied as "You've been flooded" (너 침수된 거야) to describe flooded situations.
• There was also a parody where, upon seeing a chef forget to turn on the deep-fryer, it was used as "You've been neglected" (너 방치된 거야).

Since this meme originates from a brutal crime scene in a movie, caution should be exercised not to use it in serious situations related to actual kidnapping or violence. It is primarily used to express humorous or exaggerated situations, and it is best to use it in light, informal contexts to avoid offending others.
