"Gwiyomi Song", "Kwiyomi Song" or " Kiyomi Song" (Korean귀요미 송; RRGwiyomi Song), originally titled "1 + 1 = Gwiyomi" (Korean1더하기1은 귀요미; RRIl 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 by Choi Yujin while popularized 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 [ko] 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.
