This meme immediately gained popularity after President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law on December 3, 2024, and the National Assembly swiftly voted to lift it. As an unprecedented situation unfolded where martial law was lifted approximately 6 hours after its declaration, this phrase quickly spread across online communities and social media as a metaphor for the rapid pace of the event.

"I came running at the speed of martial law being lifted" is a metaphorical expression used to describe a situation that progressed or concluded unexpectedly quickly. It originated from the event on December 3, 2024, when the declared martial law was lifted in just a few hours due to the swift response of National Assembly members and citizens. This meme is primarily used when something is completed incredibly fast, or to humorously emphasize a situation that needs urgent handling.

This meme is actively used primarily among online community and social media users. It was widely consumed by various internet user groups, especially young generations aged 10 to 30 who are interested in political issues and enjoy satire and humor, as well as idol fandoms. A tendency to consume this event as a meme also appeared among international netizens, who were surprised by Korea's swift response, not just domestic users.

• "The line at the restaurant during lunchtime was too long, so I ate at the speed of martial law being lifted."
• "I met a friend after a long time, and time passed at the speed of martial law being lifted."

Since this meme originated from a serious political event, the actual declaration of martial law, users should consider the situation and context when using it.
