The “finger heart” is often used by South Korean celebrities, but now even mainstream public and politicians also use the gesture as a sign of love. By crossing your thumb over the index finger, you create what looks like a heart. It’s one of those trends that caught on uniquely in South Korea.
Recently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was seen in a photo with the South Korean president Moon Jae-in making the finger heart with Paektu Mountain in the background. The history of the finger heart is unknown and many celebrities claim they started the trend. Singer-songwriter G-Dragon claims he was first, while actress Kim He-soo also says she began making the gesture several years ago.
