Question about Korea, Republic Of

From watching Korean dramas, do Koreans really do like aegyo or acting cute? Is this a legit cultural thing?

Answers

it depends on a person. i think adequate aegyo can be cute, and i sometimes do that to my friends just for fun lol. but forcing it to people(as u know those victims are usually girls) is disgusting!!

You got that right!

Me and friends around me have never done that. Aegyo and acting cute make me feel kinda awkward but someone do I don’t like that tho

Is it okay for man to act aegyo in korea. or hold hands or kiss?
like in America men don't usually show emotions in front of one another. but as I see on kpop or k dramas it's okay !

@Neddo yeah why not? in my opinion of course men can show their emotions and do aegyo anytime like women! they should get out of the manbox. aegyo and showing emotions are not just female thing. people can do that regardless of their gender

Yeah I think that's cool.
where I come from if 2 women hold hands people will say they're lesbian. same for man if they show emotion.
Korea is the best in this👍

@Neddo thanks! but also we still have many things to improve. we need to change😊
