Queen never cry meme goes viral, origin traced to Korean webcomic scene with emotional resilience

The viral ‘Queen Never Cry’ meme, originating from The Ki Sisters, symbolizes emotional strength and resilience.

A new meme, titled “Queen Never Cry,” is taking over social media, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Users have been posting images of a mother holding her baby, accompanied by the phrase “Queen Never Cry.” But what does this mean, and where did it come from?

The meme originated from The Ki Sisters, a Korean webcomic, specifically Chapter 34. In a poignant scene, a mother whispers “Queen never cry” to her newborn, who, after initially crying, immediately stops and adopts a calm, composed expression. The transformation stuns the surrounding medical staff, and this quiet yet powerful moment quickly captured the attention of internet users, turning it into the viral meme we see today.

The meme's widespread popularity exploded across platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok, where users have remixed the original scene with popular soundtracks, edits, and captions. The phrase “Queen Never Cry” has since become a symbol of emotional resilience. It's used in humorous and exaggerated situations to represent someone who remains composed in the face of adversity.

On November 22, 2024, a Reddit user, u/OriginalAlberto, posted the scene, which quickly gained hundreds of upvotes. TikTok users have also embraced the meme, adding their own spins to the content. One TikTok comment reads, “The fact that seeing her cry made me wanna cry too,” highlighting how emotionally impactful the meme can be despite its humorous roots.

Ultimately, “Queen Never Cry” has evolved from a comic moment into a viral, multifaceted meme that resonates with users around the globe, reminding us of the humor and strength we often find in even the most simple, shared experiences.
