Although fans have enjoyed all the looks served out during her promotions, her latest “Cherry” look on this past week’s SBS‘s Inkigayo might take the cake.

Nayeon’s charms were on full display in a dress and bonnet decorated with cherries.

Netizens had an explosive response to the idol’s performance. Many felt the cherry outfit best described the idol’s refreshing charm, while others were sad that this performance would be the last time she performed on a music show for her “Pop” promotions.

  • “She’s so cute it is driving me crazy lol.”
  • “She’s so cute.”
  • “Seriously, she’s so cute and refreshing.”
  • “She’s so refreshing. She isn’t human ㅠㅠ. She’s a fairy, a fairy, I tell you!”
  • “It’s her last performance already? No ㅠㅠ.”
  • “Her ponytail looks like a tail of a poodle when dressed LOL.”
  • “Why is this the last performance? Why?”

The idol was positively bursting with cuteness, but some viewers may have missed the inspiration behind her outfit, which she hints at during her ending, when she sneezes before mouthing, “Beware of the cold.”

Why would she tell viewers to beware of the cold during one of Korea’s hottest Summers of late?

That’s because the idol’s outfit is inspired by one of Korea’s most popular cold medicines Panpyrin!

The medicine is famous for its mascot in a pink dotted bonnet saying the catchline, you guessed it, “Beware of the cold.”

When living in Korea, it is hard to miss their commercials.

  • “What’s that medicine commercial that goes, ‘Beware of the cold?'”
  • “It’s Panpyrin!”

The medicine has featured some of Korea’s biggest stars in its commercials, including Hyeri and actress Park Bo Young.

What do you think of Nayeon’s rendition? Netizens are saying she nailed it!

Nayeon’s Panpyrin ending is so cute! Achoo, beware of the cold~~.
