Aegyo.
I'll admit it. I'm a huge sucker for Aegyo. But what exactly is this phenomenon I'm talking about?
Before we get into more details we should get to know the history. The word aegyo originates from the Chinese words "ae" or "ai" meaning "love" and "gyo" meaning "beautiful."
With this in mind, aegyo is a phenomenon noted in Kpop and Korean culture (all cultures have it~!) most commonly seen (up to a point where it's often parodied now) in young girls putting on cutsey faces or acting childlike and innocent so that their boyfriends or parents would usually purchase them something they want.
Many kpop stars do it in dramas and especially in music videos (sunny's aegyo is the most notorious).
Along with aeygyo often comes the endearing Korean word "oppa." This is usually meant for an older brother, but a girl may sometimes call an older boy this whom she is affectionate to. In many Kpop songs you can hear the word "oppa" and they're usually talking about a guy they like very much.
