Jung Ilhoon, the creator of 'Gwiyomi Player' or 'Kwiyomi Player'[/SIZE]

The internet meme is originated from a South Korean boy band BToB’s member Jung Ilhoon who created a series of cute hand movements called 'Gwiyomi Player' or 'Kwiyomi Player'. It was first created by him in MTV Diary Ep.24 where the whole members starred in. This then inspired Hari to create the 'Gwiyomi Song'.

Etymology[/SIZE][/SIZE]

According to The Bangkok Post, "Gwiyomi" or "Kiyomi" is Korean slang used to refer to a cute person.[1] The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as "1 + 1 = Cutie, 2 + 2 = Cutie", etc.[1]
Gwiyomi (귀요미) is based on the adjective "gwiyeo-un" (귀여운), which means cute. Gwiyeo captures the meaning of cuteness, and "-un" is a form of conjugation to be altered for each intended usage. Ending an adjective with "-mi" (-미) has the effect of personifying the adjective, thereby turning the word into a noun. Thus "gwiyomi" means a cute person.
