About

I'm a Legend, Thanos refers to a catchphrase and memorable scene in which the Squid Game character Thanos (portrayed by artist and actor Choi Seung-Hyun) freestyles to flirt with a young woman, with one of the lines being, "I'm a legend, Thanos." In the weeks following the premiere of the second season of the show, the line achieved virality as a spam comment, while the rap scene inspired various memes and references.

Origin

On December 26th, 2024, season two of the Korean survival thriller series Squid Game premiered.[1] In the third episode of the season "001," Player 230, known as the rapper Thanos, is introduced. In one scene of the episode, Thanos flirts with Player 196, Kang Mi-na, freestyling for her (scene shown below). Thanos uses several English lines in his rap, including "I'm a legend, Thanos" (multi-language video shown below).

You and me together, yeah I feel the power,
Found her hidden in the weeds, yeah, my beauty flower. Red, orange, yellow, green, I'm a legend, Thanos,
Sweet ass track suit looking tight,
Hope I get a green light.
I like you!
