If you’ve been on TikTok, you might have seen a video of a girl or a guy gasping in a cutesy manner.
The video contains two people—one tapping on the other person’s shoulder and the other gasping.
However, the gasp is exaggerated in a cutesy manner such that it looks awkward and embarrassing.
Captions of these videos include, “Kawaii gasp 99% accuracy” and so on.
In this article, you’ll learn what is the cute or Kawaii gasp meme and the original video recorded in a school cafeteria/canteen.
Kawaii Gasp original video
The Kawaii Gasp original video was taken in a school canteen (also known as the Cafeteria anime hug video).
In the video, a guy was sitting next to a girl and he tapped her on the shoulder.
The girl reacted by gasping in a cutesy manner while placing both of her arms near her chest.
The video went viral because of how the girl reacted to the tap on her shoulder.
Her reaction seems like it came straight from an anime and the people in the background were laughing at her.
