Gwiyomi Song
"Gwiyomi Song", "Kwiyomi Song" or " Kiyomi Song" (Korean: 귀요미 송; RR: Gwiyomi Song), originally titled "1 + 1 = Gwiyomi" (Korean: 1더하기1은 귀요미; RR: Il deohagi Ir-eun Gwiyomi), is a song recorded by South Korean singer Hari that was released on February 18, 2013. It was inspired by a gesture made popular by South Korean rapper Jung Ilhoon of boy group BtoB. The gesture is called 'Gwiyomi Player', which was popularized by South Korean variety show Weekly Idol through a segment called "The Aegyo Battle" (Battle of Cuteness) following Ilhoon's guest appearance on the show in October 2012. The song went on to be a viral success and an Internet meme after Korean Media outlet Sports Seoul uploaded a clip of Hari performing the gestures and singing the song. This video has since inspired many Asian netizens to upload their own versions onto the internet.
