The 'Kim Yo Jong at the 2018 Winter Olympics' meme originated during the opening ceremony in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was photographed with a notably cold and piercing expression. Her intense gaze, often directed near U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, immediately caught the internet's attention. Users began interpreting her look as the 'ultimate side-eye' or 'stink eye,' turning her into a symbol of extreme judgment and icy disapproval. The meme is typically used to represent a person observing someone else's questionable behavior with a mixture of boredom, superiority, and quiet menace, making it a staple for reaction images involving social or political friction.
