Unlike the loudly crying emoji (😭), it expresses the subtle situation of trying to hold back overwhelming emotions. It's characterized by predominantly positive feelings like joy, gratitude, and pride.
Added in 2021, this emoji is often used by K-pop fans to express overwhelming emotion when watching their favorite artist's acceptance speech or an amazing performance. It's beloved for how well it portrays complex feelings where sadness and joy coexist.
