#1 TOP DEFINITION

Cute, childlike behavior performed intentionally to appear charming or endearing. K-pop idols regularly display aegyo for fans during fansigns, variety shows, and live streams โ€” pouting, using baby voices, or making cute gestures. The term comes from ์• ๊ต (ๆ„›ๅฌŒ), meaning lovable charm. Fan communities often rank idols by their aegyo level.

Example
โ€œTWICE are famous for their aegyo โ€” Nayeon's wink and Tzuyu's shy smile have become iconic fan-service moments.โ€
