Kiyomi or Gwiyomi (Chinese 可愛頌) is a new dance craze which has a potential to throw Harlem shake from the throne of internet memes. Kiyomi meaning someone who is cute in Korean slang has become the latest web-viral sensation in several parts of the world such as Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia.
Kiyomi internet meme was started in February 2013 by Korean teenagers and spread quickly. The dance craze involves teens and children, mostly girls, uploading videos of themselves doing the 50-second dance routine on the YouTube social. Some of these videos have already gathered hundreds of thousands of views. Popular celebrities such as Thai actress Nuengthida 'Noona' Sophon and Tanyares 'Tanya' Ramnarong or popular girl groups such as Four Mod and Neko Jump also have joined the K-Pop trend.
According to The Bangkok Post the series of hand movements in Kiyomi videos was originated by Korean boy band BtoB member Jung Llhoon, and the song, Kiyomi Song, was sung by Korean female artist Hari.
Here you can listen the Hari's Kiyomi song on 18 February. Here is Hari's Facebook page.[1]
The song describes the love of a girl and a boy. The hook can be translated as "1 + 1 = Cute, 2 + 2 = Cute", etc.
In the below Kiyomi video you can see several young Asian woman performing Kiyomi (yes they at last found something to keep them several minutes away from their cell phones). The Gwiyomi video of the young Thai girl at the center has already gathered 680,00++ views since it was uploaded on March 15th.

Not all versions of the song are that cute. The video below, can be named as Kiyomi big boob edition, went viral in Taiwan and labelled as "atrocious".
Here is the Kiyomi Song lyrics by Hari (with English translation).
귀요미송 (Kiyomi Song)
하리(Hari)
초코 머핀 한 조각 시켜놓고
Chocó meopin han jogak sikkyeonohgo
I ordered a piece of chocolate muffin
고소한 우유한잔을 기다려요
Gosohan uyuhanjaneul gidaryeoyo
and I'm waiting for a cup of savory milk
오빠하고 나하고 꼭 마주 앉아서
Oppahago nahago kkok maju anjaseo
my oppa (my older boyfriend)and I sit facing each other
서로 손바닥 위에 예쁜 낙서를 하죠
Seoro sonbadak wie yeoppeun nakseoreul hajyo
and we doodle in eachother's hands
한눈 팔지마 누가 뭐래도 내꺼 (내꺼)
Hannun paljima nuga mworaedo naekkeo ( naekko)
dont look at other women you're mine
다른 여자랑 말도 섞지마 난 니꺼 (난 니꺼)
Dareun yeojarang maldo seokjima nan nikkeo ( nan nikkeo)
dont talk with other women im yours
새끼 손가락 걸고 꼭 약속해줘요
Saekgi songarak geolgo kkok yaksokhaejwoyo
please pinky swear and promise me
절대 나 혼자 내버려 두지 않기로
Jeldae na honja naeberyeo duji anhgiro
that you'll never leave me alone

하나 둘 셋 눈 감고 내게 다가와
Hana dul set nun gamgo naege dagawa
one two three, close your eyes and come to me
두 손으로 내 볼을 만지며 뽀뽀하려는
Du soneuro nae boreul manjimyeo ppoppoharyeoneun
when you touch my cheeks with both hands
그 입술 막고서
Geu ipseul makgoseo
as i stop your lips from kissing me
