K-Pop idols go through a lot of training in order to stand on stage. They take vocal lessons, engage in dance classes, and learn how to pose in front of a camera. When posing for a pictorial, they maintain a model-like aura that persists even through a computer screen. However, when posing for fans or taking pictures in public, they have a variation of options to choose from: one being the finger heart!
Almost magically, the finger heart became an integral part of the K-Pop experience. It ended up as a pose loved by many and that even actors, television personalities, and fans aimed to imitate. With the finger heart being part of K-Culture for so long, many variations have popped up to provide a fresh new take on the classic pose.
Now, let's take a look at some examples of the finger heart and how it has evolved over the years!
1. BTS
It feels only right to start with one of the most successful boy groups to date. BTS are certified superstars and as K-Pop representatives, it seems necessary that they pose with the finger heart as a complete group. Their finger hearts combined with their smiling faces causes fans to stop in their tracks to admire their favorite idols.
2. Kep1er's ChaeHyun
With the lovely feeling a finger heart can bring, we are often covered in a veil of pink, symbolizing a deep-rooted affection for our favorite idols.
