Among all the heart emojis, it's the most classic and powerful symbol of love. Sometimes it can be too direct and might feel a bit overwhelming for someone you're just getting to know.

It originated from Western culture where the heart is considered the center of love and emotion, and was reborn as an emoji in the digital age. In Korea, it's used for a wide range of purposes beyond romantic love, such as expressing respect and gratitude in messages on Parents' Day or Teachers' Day.
