백종원 관련 밈

Baek Jong-won related memes refer to a variety of trending phrases and images derived from the broadcast activities and business ventures of Baek Jong-won, a culinary researcher and businessman. Based on his widespread popularity, there were many positive and humorous memes. However, a notable characteristic is the significant increase in critical and mocking memes following the 'Bbaekham Incident' in 2025.

Baek Jong-won related memes began to emerge with positive connotations and nicknames like 'Sugar Boy' after his appearance on 'My Little Television' in 2015. Particularly during the broadcast period of 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' (2018-2021), humorous memes such as 'Jo Bo-ah, come down here' and 'Pistol Baek Jong-won' were actively used. Starting with the controversy over the price of the 'Bbaekham Gift Set' in January 2025, the 'Bbaekham Incident' erupted, shifting public opinion towards Baek Jong-won negatively. Subsequently, memes carrying meanings of mockery and criticism exploded. During the broadcast of the program 'Black and White Chef,' the 'Ppu-ju Satoru' meme also gained popularity.

Baek Jong-won related memes can largely be divided into two trends. First, positive/humorous memes utilize funny or impressive scenes from Baek Jong-won's broadcast activities as comedic elements. For example, the 'Jo Bo-ah, come down here' (조보아씨 내려와봐유) meme originated from his gesture of looking for actress Jo Bo-ah when eating bad food; the 'Pistol Baek Jong-won' (권총 백종원) meme depicts him holding a camera in a way that resembles a pistol; the 'Armament Haki Baek Jong-won' (무장색 패기 백종원) meme likens his wearing black sanitary gloves to 'Armament Haki' from the manga 'One Piece'; and the 'Ppu-ju Satoru, Wow~ Ryōiki Tenkai' (뿌주 사토루, 이야~ 료이키텐카이) meme, which compares his blindfolded judging to Gojo Satoru from 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. Second, negative/critical memes began with the Bbaekham gift set price controversy in 2025. These memes are used to criticize or mock Baek Jong-won as his past statements and business practices are re-examined. 'We're not Jjamppong' (우리 짬뽕 아니에유) satirizes controversies over the quality control of his own franchise products; 'Farmer's Joke' (농가 드립) questions the sincerity of his 'saving farmers' marketing; 'It's me, Baek Jong-won!' (나여 백종원!) mocks his past confident demeanor, now perceived as arrogant; and 'Oh, I'm going crazy' (하 미치겠네) ridicules his defensive reactions to food hygiene controversies.
