May the best Aegyo win!

0
0

This is definitely a list I know more about then the last one I did. Eatyourkimchi’s Best Aegyo in Kpop 2012 has some very familiar artists listed. Though, surprisingly there is just one video I had never seen before. This should be fun. I love aegyo. My future boyfriend/lover/spouse/anybody will have to deal with aegyo wrath. Just like how my dad is dealing with right now. Go Mom!

B.A.PStop It

Now here is one group I would never have thought would be featured in this category when they first debuted. In less than a year, seems like our B.A.P boys have come a long way. Not that it is a bad thing. I think few of them can pull the aegyo act really well and there are some. Surprisingly I feel that maknae Zelo is the worst at it. Or maybe it’s because to me he’ll always be an evil robot in war with Himchan. Who on the other looks scary with the cute act. He is just pure evil, in a good way of course. Bang Yong Guk is kind of cute actually. Even with that deep voice of his, to me he’ll always be in the same rank as P.O and Chanyeol, the deep voice cuties.

B1A4Baby Good Night

Alright, you have to admit, these boys are the cutest recent debutant. Wait, never mind they debuted last year so they are what newbies like to call, Sunbae. Cuteness has been part of their group personalities since they came out with their first song. So, it’s no surprise that they have been featured in this category. I do feel though that they have toned down quite a bit from their earlier songs. Kind of remind me of how Boyfriend has changed with their recent song. They are still cute but just differently cute. If you know what I mean.

I really shouldn’t comment on their outfits since this is not the segment for it but I just have to say something. Coordi noona/oppa/ahjumma/ahjushi like seriously? I am sure Channie baby would have looked better in something more…um…different let’s just say. Also, where does Baro bring that voice out from? He doesn’t normally have a deep talking voice right? Or am I just confused now?

Orange Caramel  – Lipstick

They are probably my favourite three members of After School. Alright, that is probably not true. I like the whole group as a whole, including the ones (actually especially the ones) who have graduated. Anyways, this song is not as cute as their other songs. Admittedly it is aegyo filled, it’s not a typical aegyo filled MV. I am not sure if I am making any sense. Anyways, if I had to choose who the best aegyo out of the three, it would be Raina hands down. She is tinnier than the other two (right?) and her antics are more cuter. Though, I have seen guys do more aegyo in the music videos than Orange Caramel, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing actually.

Taetiseo  – Twinkle

Is it weird that these three are my least favourite members of Girls’ Generation but I love this song? Anyways, it is really hard for me to differentiate between girls acting like themselves and acting cute. I am not sure why but it’s just hard. These three are just cute that whatever they do is aegyo filled. Actually, now that I think about it. I find that there is a difference between aegyo and cuteness. I can’t explain it well but I will try. Taetisseo is compromised of cute girls, all three of them are cute but they are not necessarily going out of their way to show aegyoness. Or at least I think they are not.

SistarLoving U

I don’t necessarily associate Sistar with cuteness. It’s just hard for me to think of them that way. They are fierce and sexy. Not cute. But this MV proves me wrong. This is aegyo filled and very unlike typical Sistar MVs. I love that this is a light song and their expressions are more care-free. They really look like they are enjoying themselves and not just filming.

Also will it be sexist to say that I love their legs? Wait I am a female…does it still count as a sexist comment? It should…if it is not meant as a compliment, right? Hmm…

Hello VenusVenus

My favourite girl group debut of this year (along with EXID). I love their singing style. Pledis is one of my favourite companies. I love almost…actually all the singers under that company. There are a lot of cute antics in this music video. Even the singing is filled with aegyoness. Though, this group isn’t mentioned in the list but no one can come close to Girl’s Day. Their aegyo is beyond normal Kpop standard. At least that’s what I think. So this MV is what a typical girl group first MV would look like. Not surprised but their singing makes me love their antics in it.

Big Star - I Got the Feeling

Aww they are adorable. I am not used to watching these guys too much though I have seen their MVs. But this MV makes me look at them in a different light. They seem so cute and aegyo filled. I am not sure but when girls do aegyo I feel that they are just being themselves but when guys do it, I guess to me it’s a notch up. They seem to be having loads of fun skiing/skateboarding and with the snow. If I didn’t have such a bad first experience with skiing (doing a split when you are not flexible is not fun), I might have been tempted to join them in their adventure. The ‘high five’ made me want to pull all their cheeks.

Okay, wasn’t expecting to find their aegyo so appealing. That’s random. But great.

Goo HaraSecret Love

This is the only song that I did not buy off iTunes. I bought all the other Kara members’ solo songs. I am sorry, I love Hara (especially because of her cute personality) but this song just doesn’t do it for me. She and Siwan are very cute nonetheless and I can feel the aegyo oozing out of the video. Which is what this category is for so that’s a plus. I would love to see this MV happening in real life. It would be kind of random to see three cute girls following a guy around and oozing with aegyo.

IU, FIESTARSea of Moonlight

I hadn’t really been interested in FIESTAR until I saw Jei in ‘The Romantic and Idol’. I am really like that show even though it is heavily scripted. But what isn’t. As a student of Radio and Television Arts, I should know. Anyways, I don’t like the song at all. But this is filed under aegyo category so let’s talk about that. Unlike Big Star, this MV surely makes me want to go camping and hang out with all these cute girls. I’ll probably feel out of place and then just end up mothering them.

Ku Hye Sun Marry Me

I wonder if this is a response to Kim Hyun Joong’s Marry Me song. Sorry that was random. Anyways, this is my first time listening to this or any of Ku Hye Sun’s songs. It’s not bad. She is not oozing aegyo out of the screen but acting like a typical coy girl would. There isn’t anything much in the MV besides looking at her acting coy. Or cute. Which is different from showing aegyo. I really need to figure the difference out better and then try explaining it. But anyways, I shall leave that for another time.

In Conclusion

Come to think of it, this was a really hard category to judge. I feel that aegyo comes naturally to girls so to me them acting cute or aegyo filled isn’t necessarily anything major. But for guys to do it, that’s a different matter. Though, that’s probably a very sexist thought of mine so I should really think about it again. Anyways, I had assumed that Ku Hye Sun’s song was the only one that I hadn’t heard before but it seems that it was my first time watching Big Star’s winter cuteness filled MV as well.
