The 'Oh-Il Nam Standing and Sitting' meme template features the character Player 001 from the hit Netflix series Squid Game. The format pairs two contrasting images: one of Oh-Il Nam standing with a joyful, carefree expression during the 'Red Light, Green Light' game, and another of him sitting alone against a wall, looking defeated and weary. Since its rise in late 2021, the meme has become a staple for illustrating the 'expectation vs. reality' trope or the rapid descent from excitement to total exhaustion. It perfectly captures the relatable feeling of being overwhelmed by life’s challenges after a confident and happy start.
