The challenge was inspired by South Korean actor Kim Seon-ho's appearance on the hit series When Life Gives You Tangerines which is topbilled by popular singer and actress IU.

In a scene, his character Park Chung-seop spots IU's Yang Geum-myeong wearing a wedding gown. He then clutches at his chest in astonishment, pretends to faint, and peeks at her again with one eye while smiling.

The scene went viral and sparked a number of people who wanted to give a go at trying Seon-ho's facial expressions and gestures.
