[Gwiyomi Song], the Viral Phenomenon
What exactly is ‘Gwiyomi’? ‘Gwiyomi’ is a Korean slang used in reference to a cute person; and the “Gwiyomi Song’ is a K-pop single by Korean artiste Hari. The song was inspired from a series of hand movements involving the counting of numbers in a cute way created by a member of a Korean boy band. This set of hand gesture is called 'Gwiyomi Player', which became an Internet meme following its first appearance on Korea’s reality show. From then, the [Gwiyomi Song] went on to be a viral success after Korean Media outlet Sports Seoul uploaded a clip of Hari performing the gestures and singing the song.
The [Gwiyomi Song] viral trend became widespread on the Internet after many Korean stars such as Super Junior, Girls Generation, Kim Hyun Joong and others uploaded their own adorable version of the [Gwiyomi Song].
This led to the phenomenon to begin trending in several other countries in the region, including Malaysia,Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and China. Many netizens across all ages, nationalities and gender started to upload their own creation of the [Gwiyomi Song]; one of the clips from a non-celebrity has chalked up over 8 million views till date!
The [Gwiyomi Song] was described by some media as the latest web-viral sensation that has unseated [Gangnam Style] to become the new K-pop craze!
Here in Singapore, many local artistes and well-known personalities such as Mediacorp artistes Tay Ping Hui, Ian Fang, Desmond Tan and others have also jumped on the bandwagon by recording their own version of the [Gwiyomi Song] as well!
First ever appearance of Hari, the original artiste of [Gwiyomi Song], in Asia!
What makes this event even more exciting is the appearance of Hari, the original artiste of the [Gwiyomi Song], who will be flying in all the way from Korea for this as part of her promotional tour! This is her first ever public appearance outside of Korea and Warner Music Singapore is proud to be the first in the region to invite Hari to officiate the Gwiyomi Challenge.
