In the iconic scene, Kim Seon Ho dramatically fakes fainting from his wife’s beauty, placing his hand on his heart. The trend’s soundtrack? None other than Ariana Grande’s own song “Supernatural,” making it the best fit for the video. This star-studded trend is complete with ENHYPEN’s Sunoo, who makes an appearance in the compilation video.
