When a character's contradictory characteristics make them likeable
MC: Jumin, what are you doing?
Jumin: ... I'm playing Neko Atsume
MC: You are always so serious and you suddenly play cute games? That's so gap moe!

Gap Moe is when a character does something completely contradictory to what their usual habits/personality/character/appearence dictates.

Yup, for the gap effect to work, you have to see the person in a completely different light that you never expected.

Gap Moe

A character that looks moe, and doesn't behave moe
or, a character who looks mature but behaves in a cutesy way

Even though it contains the word moe in it, this also can be used in general
for any type of character whose looks are opposite to their personality/behavior.
Midori Takamine's body grew faster, in contrast to his shy and insecure self.

Tanya Degurechaff can look like a cute kid, but in reality they're a 42 year old sociopath.

Both are a prime example of what 'Gap Moe' means.
