"Step on sewing machine" is an online buzzword. As a network term, it has two meanings. One is that someone loves to shake his legs, and he will describe it as stepping on a sewing machine. Because when you step on the sewing machine, your feet keep pedaling, as if your legs are shaking all the time. Another meaning means that a person goes to prison to take part in labor. Sewing machine is a machine that uses one or more sewing threads to form one or more stitches on sewing materials, so that one or more layers of sewing materials are interwoven or sewn together. There is sewing machine skills training in prison, and labor skills can be learned in prison.

The origin of treading on sewing machine stems comes from Junho, a contestant of the variety show Youth with You 3, which was broadcast in February, 20021. When he speaks in the program, his legs will tremble unconsciously and shake badly. The program group also gave a big close-up very attentively. When he spoke, his voice not only shook his legs but also shook, which made everyone at the scene laugh. Many netizens joked that his legs must have been specially trained. Just like stepping on a sewing machine, the high-frequency trembling looks very funny, so he also got the title of sewing machine for the earth.

In China, stepping on a sewing machine does not mean going to jail, but there are sewing machine skills training in prison, and you can really learn labor skills in prison. But it is still rare to really step on the sewing machine again.
