SNSD’s Hyoyeon can't show her aegyo

[kneekalies.livejournal.com]

SNSD‘s Hyoyeon revealed that showing aegyo was the most difficult part about being an idol for her.


On November 26th’s episode of ‘Invincible Youth 2‘, the girls of G8 discussed their stress factors in a small talk show led by maknaes Suzy and Jiyoung.

Hyoyeon confessed, “It’s really hard for me to pretend. I get really embarrassed when I have to pretend to be cute and pretty. I am really easygoing. As part of SNSD, it’s hard to be easygoing.”

She continued, “The other members are good at aegyo. When we monitor our performances, the ones who show aegyo get on camera the most. I try really hard to do it, but I can’t because it tickles my heart. I can act really suave and cool, but acting pretty and cute still tickles my heart.”

tyty.

[wintersol.livejournal.com]

if she feels that way as a member of snsd, i wonder how regular korean girls feel if they can't do aegyo?

[rylee900.livejournal.com]

Most of my Korean friends can't/won't do aegyo...

Maybe that's just them though,lol,since aegyo tends to irritate me.

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

Most of my korean friends too are disgusted by their own/each other's aegyo lmao. When they do, do something cute though and someone points it out, they're extremely horrified and protest against it.

[rylee900.livejournal.com]

She's perfect without aegyo <3

Gah, I just have no words for how much I admire Hyoyeon,I really don't.

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

True aegyo isn't pretend

it flows through the body, out through puffy cheeks or clenched fingers like a powerful torrent, consuming all in it's wake, yet does nothing to force its violent rupture. it is not forced, rather it is known. it is a state of constant nirvana that is shared to others who are blessed enough to see it.

this is what true aegyo is.

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

these words sound familiar.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

wow. insightful.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

You're not 6 so why care. I swear if the guys love aegyo then go to Kindergarten or someshit, grown ass women acting like babies is like sending the woman's movement back 20 years.

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

what is this heresy

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Everytime you go "oppa am I cute?", an angel losses it's wing. Something to think about.

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

when a girl calls me oppa, she becomes an angel who.. has. .a.. new.. wing.. that..

wait let me think about this one...

also aegyo=acting like a six year old. perhaps when they are 6 their aegyo is in it's richest, purest form that forces their parents to bend to the child's every whim, but as the person matures, so does the aegyo. it becomes more refined, more sharpened. whereas child aegyo is blunt and raw, aegyo later on in life is a tool. my friend would always get discounts and free food for using her aegyo to ajummas and ajushis in korea. my aegyo was untrained, unskilled... i could not do the same :(. i was so jelly.

anyway aegyo is amazing. one should not think of it so trite. it is very powerful when used for wrong reasons. well its powerful used in any situation...

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

err aegyo =/=acting like a six year old**
if you read the whole thing youll probably have noticed that typo.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

So you're saying Aegyo can stop war if trained enough? So it's like a ninja skill where you can get people to bend to your will by acting like a cute child?

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

children laugh and often seen as childlike through prose and literature.
now. is laughing childish???

look if you're not gonna take what i said seriously im just going to post gifs

[aworldoflies.livejournal.com]

actually, the more 'wise' and 'beautiful' words you use, the more people can't take it seriously. Besides, I think you think too high of aegyo.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

you clearly need to write a whole thesis and research paper on aegyo and life.

[rylee900.livejournal.com]

Some girls love aegyo. Also,male idols do it too.

I agree though,it's weird.

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

I find it cute when girls do it though it's weird.

When male idols do it though... It's just even weirder and it's not cute to me anymore.

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

asnindie and donlorenzo561...you guys made my night xD

Anyway, Hyo, if it so hard, just be yourself dear :3 We like the spunk! >D Some of us anyway haha

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Too bad SME also told her and Sooyoung to stop acting goofy and weird. That was their thing.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

Yuri, too. :(

[ongew.livejournal.com]

girl doesn't need aegyo k thx

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

Girl, it's okay. You just go ahead and be your naturally awesome BAMF self.

A lot of times, when an idol does aegyo, I cringe because it seems so awkward and unnatural. In some instances, it's funny and cute, though.

[ninyafreak.livejournal.com]

I love her because she's not the aegyo type so Hyo bb, you're perfect the way you are ♥

[hurryupthecakes.livejournal.com]

As if I need another reason to love this goddess of dance.

[simplyobessed.livejournal.com]

hyo is so gorgeous! I will never get when people call ugly or an ogre..

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

seobb being in charge of aegyo? I CAN'T HAHAHAHAHAHA

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

lol mte.

I haven't seen the girls do aegyo in a long time tbh. I think Hyo was talking about her time in SNSD in general, not just this year or last year where they've started to ~mature~

[bumie.livejournal.com]

don't change Hyo , DON'T do it

[hillando.livejournal.com]

love the expression "tickle my heart", how could I slip that into a conversation?

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

Hyo, you're perfect the way you are!
Your personality and smile are worthy thousands of aegyos!
