Even Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) knows how to use some aegyo – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lK8WphnQjw
Great video as always, Keith!
Can they do egyo girls from all ages???
I went to Korea to meet some friends and they told me about aegyo, and omg it totally works – not only on Koreans but on my own family members as well haha ^^
Hey guys just found your site, love this video made me laugh so much! im from London and been living in Seoul for 5 months now and I’ve experienced 애교 on a daily basis lol 🙂 cant help but love korean girls for this tho! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Every time a girl 애교s me I want to punch her in the face.
Sorry to say this, but I must admit that I’d feel stupid If I did 애교. For my money,애교 is like acting as a spoiled kid!
Anyway, that’s what I think.
Omo…awesome,she is so good at 애교 and she has gorgeous eyes^^
I would have to buy her whatever. Not only is she gorgeous, but her egyo is pretty awesome. Irresistible.
@Korea Lover yea a lot of Korean guys hate it too. but not everyone does it 🙂
She definitely is an aegyo pro tho ^^
You, video makers should know what 애교 means.
To get something? This video is so humiliating and disgusting.
I really doubt what you are doing.
Nice One! It’s really cute to see korean girls do aegyo. I love it.
It’s really cute and makes the guys feel bad for not giving up to what she wants I guess. Would have been funny to see you Keith doing it too 😛
Shes soo pretty!..and Keith!!!…. I think you kinda *blushed (I kept playing it back to confirm) when she called you “Oppa” so you can tell her “Egyo” worked! Good Job Girl!!! lolz
Oh man. There’s a couple sitting next to me here at the sandwich shop. She’s got the 애교 act down pat, and seems to want everyone in the store to hear her. It was cute for 10 seconds. Now I wanna puke ^^
@Sue, I’m sure if you’re familiar with korean culture you’d know what aegyo means… 🙂 i don’t think it was created so that you could get something you want… probably some girl did a cute pose accidentally and realized she gets what she wants everytime she does that cute pose…
although not everyone likes aegyo, a lot of people (girls, teenage girls actually) do it nowadays to get what they want. 🙂 and it’s effective, either because the receiver is charmed by the cute aegyo (awww you’re so cute and adorable!”), or that the receiver couldn’t take it anymore (“fine, i’ll give it to you, just stop it, i wanna puke!”) they just give in to the girl’s wants… ^__^
haha good one!
Aww I love these videos not only because they are super informative but (sorry) I love the sound of your voice, Keith. Sorry if that sounds a bit creepy but I recognized your voice from Survival Phrases. It’s so soothing, you could probably read off a restaurant menu and I would be happy 🙂
Sunny~ aegyo queen!
미국여자는 애교 없냐? 한 번도 못본 것 같다. 누구 아는 사람?
@Keith I see. Thanks for the response!
Sunny please take my life savings 🙂
