This emoji goes beyond a simple joke, giving off an "I'm a bit quirky and fun" vibe. Sometimes, it's used to make fun of yourself after doing something silly or a little foolish.

In the West, it can symbolize a carefree spirit, unbound by rules, much like the 'YOLO' (You Only Live Once) mentality. It's one of the emojis frequently used by K-pop idols to act cute or show their playful side to fans, effectively conveying cheerful and positive energy.
