Gwiyomi/Kiyomi! Say what??

If you're reading this, congratulations for making it through
weird internet trends like Shuffling, Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake ! Wanna know what the best part is? 

The internet never sleeps so guess what!!
Something new (to me at least) has been surfacing Facebook
and it originates from the country that brought us Gangnam style!

Unsure of what it is exactly, I did a little research around the internet. And by internet I meant Youtube and Wikipedia hahahah.
HOWEVER, wiki had nothing so i had to go to random blogs and articles and had the liberty to gather all the useless information in one place! HERE

To all you kpop fans out there, you might definitely be familiar with this because you might have seen kpop stars like super junior, snsd or exo doing it up on stage.

SO first off, if you still have no idea what GWIYOMI/KIYOMI is yet, take a look at this:

As a non kpop fan with no knowledge of the korean language whatsoever, first thing that comes to mind when you watch the video is this :

Cute Gibberish > gibberish > gibberish > Hand gesture.
Then they move on to 
1+1= Gwiyomi
2+2= Gwiyomi
And so on and so forth till they reach 6 then they start
kissing all their fingers.

SO WHAT EXACTLY WAS THAT ??
Well you cant find any GWIYOMI word in the korean language or dictionary, WHY ? well thats because the original word is
귀염둥이(pronounced as Gwi-yum-doong-i)
Then it was stolen as a korean internet slang as Gwiyomi/kiyomi so that it sounds cuter, which was referred to as "a cute one"

Also, here are the lyrics to the song !


Being a guy, I hate to admit it but it IS kinda 
adorable awesome cool cute hahahaha.

Well I hope this isn't gonna be one of em' internet trends that'll
get stuck in my head again. I had enough of gangnam style
and also that miserable excuse for an internet trend called harlem shake.

So next time you and your friends talk about trending stuff 
and come across gwiyomi, you'll know how to respond!
So thank me later if you do use any of the useless info I've shared.

Till next time ! 
Be sure to check back for more useless information in the future! Bye !
