意味

Tilting someone's chin up with your hand to look into their eyes — a romantic gesture popular in manga and dramas.

顎クイ is a follow-up trend to 壁ドン and refers to the romantic gesture of gently lifting someone's chin with your fingers, creating an intimate eye-contact moment. Like 壁ドン, it's primarily a fictional trope from shōjo manga and Japanese dramas. It became a buzzword around 2015 as part of a series of named romantic gestures from manga culture.
