The phrase comes from the Chinese custom of three bows, 一鞠躬, 再鞠躬, 三鞠躬, performed at memorial services, graduations and formal ceremonies as a gesture of respect or mourning. On the Chinese internet the middle bow became a standalone joke, reposted as a reaction to anything demanding excessive politeness or a theatrical apology. The exact recording behind this upload is not documented, so it circulates as a user-generated soundboard clip. Short ceremonial announcements like this stay popular because they are instantly recognisable to Chinese speakers and need no context.

A short voice clip saying '再鞠躬', Chinese for 'bow again'. Used in memes for over-the-top apologies, mock-respectful bows and awkward social moments.
This two-second clip is a single spoken Chinese phrase, 'zai ju gong', which means 'bow again' or 'second bow'. It sounds like the calm, formal announcement an event host makes when guiding a group through the traditional three bows. Heard on its own, the polite formality turns comic: the listener expects a ceremony but gets a punchline instead. Creators pair it with footage of characters bowing so low or so often that the gesture becomes a joke, and the contrast between the dignified tone and the silly visual is what makes people replay and share it.
