As long as it's not me

The meme "As long as it's not me" originates from the variety show "1 Night 2 Days." This phrase was frequently shouted by Kang Ho-dong during the "bokbulbok" (luck or punishment) games to avoid penalties, dramatically emphasizing the situation where one only cares about escaping punishment. Kang Ho-dong's unique expressions while yelling "As long as it's not me" became highly popular, and the scene has been widely used in internet communities as a way to satirize selfishness in various contexts.

This meme is mainly used to express the mindset or attitude of wishing not to be harmed while someone else faces difficulties. It has been frequently used in scenarios like stock market or Bitcoin investments, where one emphasizes their own safety while observing others' losses, or in situations where friends are subjected to penalties. Over time, it has become a meme symbolizing selfishness or indifference, also appearing in socially critical contexts.
