The origin of this "Save me" craze comes from online stock and coin shops, where when you hit a peak or suffer significant losses, posts like "Please save me, if I break even I won't come again," or "Please help me, please ban short selling" flood the shelves. Messages like 'save me' are common in online games and social media, and when your phone battery is running out and you urgently need to borrow a power bank, or borrow a cigarette light, people shout "Save me!" Among children and teenagers, "Save me" is a popular phrase. A well-known math academy headquartered in Daechi-dong, Seoul, gives students a 'Save Me Coupon,' also known as a 'Killer Coupon,' which is a 'exemption coupon' that prevents them from receiving penalty points for violations of various rules set by the academy. 'Save me' can sometimes be used as a cheat code for evading responsibility and intimidation, but Dr. Hee-Won Jung, known for 'Low-Speed Aging,' filed a complaint against a colleague as a perpetrator of stalking and attempted extortion, and afterwards said, 'Teacher, please save me.' He reportedly sent text messages. It is also known that Lee Hye-hoon, nominee for Minister of Planning and Budget, sent messages to opposition lawmakers saying, "Please save me, please help" after allegations of power abuse and speculation arose, but she denied it. Kang Sun-woo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said that in 2022, during the local elections, he received 100 million won from Kim Kyung, an applicant for Seoul City Council nomination, and told Kim Byung-gi, secretary of the party's nomination management committee, "Assemblyman, please save me." The money has not been returned, which means 'just give me a nomination.' It was just talk,,,, because Councilor Kim Kyung was nominated as the sole candidate the next day. But ,,, people who used to support each other ,,,have now become close enough to cling to each other???????
