폭주기니

Meme Name: Pokjukini (Pronunciation: Pohk-joo-gee-nee)

This meme started gaining popularity in early 2025, when girl group IVE released their third EP album 'IVE EMPATHY' and began promotions for their double title track 'ATTITUDE'. It became an even hotter topic when the members incorporated this meme into their encore stage after winning first place on a music show for 'ATTITUDE'.

'Pokjukini' is a meme originating from a part of IVE's 'ATTITUDE' choreography where member Rei starts a move, and other members excitedly follow suit. Among their fandom, DIVE, this scene was likened to 'runaway guinea pigs' (폭주하는 기니피그), hence the nickname. It is used to describe situations where someone enthusiastically imitates or becomes deeply engrossed in something, appearing almost out of control but in a fun and energetic way.

Primarily used by K-POP fans in their teens to 30s, especially among IVE's fandom, DIVE, and those who enjoy idol culture.

• "After my exam today, my friends and I went to karaoke and partied like 'Pokjukini'!"
• "I danced along to my favorite idol's new song choreography like 'Pokjukini'."
• IVE members even adapted the lyrics using 'Pokjukini' and sang it during their music show first-place encore stage.

Since this meme originated from a specific idol group's choreography, its meaning might not be properly conveyed to those unfamiliar with the group or K-POP culture. Therefore, it is appropriate to use it within relevant communities or fandoms. In general conversations, it's advisable to be cautious as it might lead to misunderstandings.
