NMIXX is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment that debuted in 2022, and Lily is one of its vocalists known to international fans for her English-language livestream moments. Short, out-of-context lines from those appearances often get clipped and shared by K-pop fans, and this raw capitalism line followed that pattern. It spread as a reusable reaction on social media and meme edits rather than as a song excerpt, lasting because the phrase is instantly quotable and fits almost any joke about money or ambition.
