Recently there is this Kiyomi thing going on, it is being said that, Harlem Shake has shake off the Gangnam style, and now, people start to forget the stupid LAME harlem shake. now everyone is talking about Gwiyomi(Kiyomi). I wanted to do the Gwiyomi dance, but then again, it is actually meant for cute people. with my face, no matter how cute i act. it is still a failure. Then i had this chance of recording this korean friend of mine in a dinner, so i decided to do a blog post about this Gwiyomi Viral issue.

What is This Gwiyomi about?
“The Gwiyomi Song” (귀요미송, meaning “The Cutie Song”) is a 2013 chiptune pop song by South Korean indie singer-songwriter Hari. Upon its release on the Korean web, the song quickly went viral on virtually all top music charts and even inspired a participatory video series in which the participant performs a repertoire of cute hand gestures to the song.
The Origin of this song and term?
Gwiyomi (귀요미, pronounced as Kiyomi) is a South Korean internet slang term meaning “cute” or a “cute person” used in somewhat similar vein to the Japanese term “Kawaii.” Composed and performed by two South Korean aspiring musicians Dandi and Hari, the song was originally uploaded in late January 2013 and officially released as a digital single on February 18th, 2013 (below, first video). Within days, the title of the song had become the most searched term on the Korean search portal site Naver.
