A.W.W. [ AEGYO ]

pronounced: ag-yeoh

Defined by Urban Dictionary.Com:

1. A korean word that derives from the Chinese characters "love (ae)" and "beautiful (gyo)". 2. generally attributed to women who can charm men and elders through a careful balance of sweetness, cuteness, poutiness, modesty, thoughtfulness, and submissiveness.


Examples:

Eeek! I fall prey to Minho's aegyo!

Her aegyo gives me goosebumps.





HUGE thing in Korea. Honestly, it can get over the top very quick. I really hope there are not guys out there who really really enjoy this kind of "adorableness." Actually, I've tried some of this, not to the extremes...I've gotten varied results. The best way to explain aegyo is to show you an example of it. There are a lot of female and male examples of aegyo, SNSD's Sunny is notorious for aegyo that gives you goosebumps or aegyo that makes you want to hit her over the head.

K-Pop Obsession: 4Minute's "Volume Up"

This week's obsession features a group I don't often listen to, it's 4Minute's newest single "Volume Up." They went for a vampire kinda theme, I mean it seemed more vampire in their teaser but it didn't really get transfered to the music video. SISTAR also just released "Alone" and that one is just as sexy as this one. I still preferred 4Minute because it has a very good dance beat. Honestly, I always get 4Minute and Sistar confused because I find them to be so similar. Hyunah toned it a bit down on the sexy vibe, I like her out of all the members but it's nice to see the rest of 4Minute as well.

You've seen the panda pups already, right?! Even Simon and Martina of EatyourKimchi.com has dyed their dog, Spudgy's tail blue! Is it animal abuse??? I don't think so...as long as you treat your animal well and be careful not to use harmful chemical's on your pet! >.<

A.W.W. [ NETIZEN ]

pronounced: net-ee-zen

Defined by Urban Dictionary.Com:

1. This word is a variant on citizen. 2. A person who interacts with others on the internet.







Examples:

Netizens go to far when it comes to celebrity privacy.

I am very popular...among netizens.

I guess I would consider myself a netizen...though I only think a true netizen is someone who is on the borderline obsessive or stalker-ish. ^-^; I never heard this term before getting exposed to a lot of Korean stuff, so I believe it's mostly used in the Korean entertainment industry. Netizens have the power to support or ruin idols, create scandals and dig deeper and deeper into the private lives of idols.

K-Pop Obsession: SHINee's Sherlock

Babadabada da da da da, SHINee's back! SHINee's back! The boys are back and their new album, Sherlock, is the best so far! The only thing is the consistency of their comeback. Are they going for the old-timey Sherlock Homes sort of deal or is it the modern American Indian look? I'm not sure if the two blend too well. And did you see the five different album covers you can get?! Wow! I'm liking the graphic design...geekin'
