To kick off the holiday season, Ayala Malls has prepared exciting activities for the whole family to enjoy! Starting off the energetic and vibrant vibe of the festive season is a performance from South Korean singer, Hari, who is the original singer of the famous “Gwiyomi” song.
Gwiyomi or Kwiyomi, a Korean slang used in reference to a cute person, quickly went viral since its released on February this year. But what exactly is the Gwiyomi song about? The cutesy song is about a Korean girl’s proclamation of love for her boyfriend and how she endearingly wants him to promise that they will always stay together.
Inspired by series of cute hand movements involving the counting of numbers, the song’s sweet and catchy tune was indeed a viral phenomenon as it received an overwhelming response from netizens and K-pop fans. In Youtube, Hari’s video has already reached millions of views with more and more people uploading their own version. The dance craze has caught on countries like Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan and even in the Philippines. Some local celebrities who did their own take of the Gwiyomi song are celebrity cosplayer Alodia Gosengfiao, Jasmine Curtis, Enrique Gil, Kathryn Bernardo, teen actress Ella Cruz and the one who started it all, comedian Vice Ganda, in his top-rating shows It’s Showtime and Gandang Gabi Vice.
Yesterday, Hari held a press conference at the newly restored Glorietta 5 in Ayala Mall, Makati City where singer-actor Sam Concepcion joins her and even performed Gwiyomi together on stage.
