Is “Wait, I Forgot My Facemask” Pose the New Trend in Korea? + Korean Netizens Discuss Whether It Looks Weird or Good

Recently, K-pop idols seemed to have started another trend when striking a pose for the camera. But, after the Gyaru peace pose went viral, could this pose where you are supposed to cover your mouth with your palm be the next trend?

Here are some idols who did the "Wait, I forgot my facemask" pose.

IVE's Yujin


Hitomi


Girls' Generation Taeyeon


ENHYPEN's Sunoo


LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon

However, some Korean netizens are not so happy about this trend while some Korean netizens praised the idols who did the trend.

Why are you doing that? It's weird.

Male idols don't follow women's poses, they don't suit you

Taeyeon and Eve Kim Chaewon did well. The point of that pose is that it blooms all the way through your fingers.

It's like a gesture to shut up

Is it a hand mask?

The cover-your-mouth pose still does not have an official name. However, fans pointed out that the pose is inspired by the pose done by Ban Yoon-hee, a legendary ulzzang.

Translation: So am I the original influencer…?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
