Nam Moon-hee's First Love

The "Nam Moon-hee's First Love" meme originated from the lyrics of Humming Urban Stereo's song "Banana Shake." The original lyrics say "너무 휘어졌어 (Neomu Hwiyeojyeosseo, meaning "Too Bent")," but when heard quickly, it sounds like "Nam Moon-hee's First Love."

This meme went viral in 2022 as TikTok and YouTube Shorts videos using "Banana Shake" as background music gained popularity. In particular, a video of NewJeans member Hye-rin dancing to Wonder Girls' "Tell Me" gained massive attention, further spreading the meme.

The key point of the meme is how "너무 휘어졌어" sounds like "Nam Moon-hee's First Love," leading to various parodies and challenges. Examples include videos speeding up the phrase "너무 휘어졌어," dance videos themed around "Nam Moon-hee's First Love," and even Nam Moon-hee herself participating in the meme, which became a huge sensation.
