How it's used
Focuses on the ability to transmit emotions or enthusiasm to an audience rather than just being likable. It is frequently used to describe performers, speakers, or artists who can make others feel exactly what they are feeling. Unlike general charisma, it implies a contagious quality where the audience becomes emotionally invested in the subject.
Examples
Their singing is so moving, it makes me want to cry when I hear it.
Do you think this actor has enough charisma and emotional impact?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the medical sense of infection, which is also written as 感染. In a social context, it is strictly positive and refers to emotional resonance.
