The moment everyone can’t get enough of happened when a fan left a comment saying that they were gay. Jiyoon responds like a true ally, saying, good for you” while giving a thumbs up and smiling.
She gets serious momentarily, getting close to the camera before repeating, “good for you, you’re gay,” to convey that she really means what she’s saying!
After repeating the phrase, she gestures with her hand while saying, “you’re girly pop.”
The phrase “girly pop” was popularized by a TikTok user who used emoticons to decide how they would react to someone telling them they are gay. The term has a positive connotation and has gone viral on the app.
