This emoji represents a large heart made with both hands, different from the 'finger heart' that started in K-pop culture in the 2010s. It gives a feeling of conveying richer and warmer affection.

Along with the global popularity of K-pop, this gesture also spread widely and was finally added as an official emoji in 2021. It's special in that it shows love through a more active and direct action than a simple heart (❤️). It's often used not only in fandom culture but also to convey sincere feelings to family and friends.
