About
You Must Gangnam… Like I Have is a catchphrase used in a series of Roblox and Library of Ruina (LoR) memes and videos in which Roland (the protagonist of Library of Ruina) or a Roblox character dressed like him performs the Gangnam Style dance over the captions set to a remix of "Gangnam Style" and "Kether Battle 3." The phrase is a reference to the Roblox Experience Allusions in which the player fights The Black Silence, a character from LoR, who sometimes says the catchphrase. The phrase was later referenced in another Roblox Experience, "Item Asylum," in which players can purchase a Roland outfit and perform the "Gangnam Style" emote for an achievement.

In the Roblox[4] Experience Allusions, a game where players fight a number of enemies that reference other games, created by Klevinoroto, the player can fight The Black Silence, a version of Roland from LoR.[2] During the fight, The Black Silence says, "You must suffer… like I have," which is shown in a video uploaded by YouTuber[3] Bug on March 5th, 2023, garnering over 80,000 views in four months (shown below). The quote is not actually spoken by Roland in LoR, with the most similar quote being, "Angela, you have to feel the same sorrow as mine….. No. you have to feel even worse than that."
