K-drama fans know that even the cutest aegyo can be a bit cringeworthy – in the best way possible. What does a worthy aegyo moment imply? Aegyo is part of Korean culture that includes using cute gestures, talking in baby-talk or with endearing voices, or performing adorable dances and other displays of affection. As aegyo is a big part of everyday Korean life, it’s also seen in many K-dramas.

Fans can’t help but laugh yet find it incredibly cringey when their favorite characters burst into an aegyo moment. Some displays of aegyo have become fan favorites and actress Kim Sejeong is even dubbed the “Aegyo Queen.” Aegyo scenes may be cute and comical to see, but can also have viewers letting out a “Sheesh.”

10 Yoon-Ah (Welcome To Waikiki)

Welcome to Waikiki has risen in popularity as a worthwhile K-drama. It not only has a memorable comedic scene that fans can’t forget, but a noteworthy aegyo moment. In episode eight, Yoon-Ah (Jung In-Sun) uses aegyo to ask for forgiveness from Dong-Gu (Kim Jung-Hyun).

While she sits at the table, she says Dong-Gu’s name in a sweet baby voice while holding her fists under her chin. While giving him her best puppy eyes, Yoon-Ah says she’s sorry. The scene gets even better as Dong-Gu is so surprised by her aegyo that he spits out the water in his mouth at Yoon-Ah.

9 Yoon Chi Woo (The Sweet Blood)

The Sweet Blood is a 2021 drama and one of the best K-dramas with a storyline that surrounds vampires and the supernatural. In the drama, Yeon Seo (Song Chae Yoon), a 118-year-old half-vampire, is in a pickle and upset. Not to mention, she keeps getting pestered by her supposed fiancé, Cho Woo (Kim Ji-Woong). What makes aegyo so comical is its shock factor and it certainly fits the bill in episode 7.

Cho Woo tries to cheer up Yeon Soo and gives her a peace offering by making her something to eat. She’s so upset and dislikes Cho Woo so much that she refuses. In an attempt to make her happy, Cho Woo suddenly shakes his shoulders and asks her to eat in a baby voice. Just as viewers were stunned, so was Yeon Soo.

8 Ahn Jong-Seuk (High Kick 3)

High Kick 3 is a 2011 installment of a popular Korean sitcom about life dilemmas, first crushes, and problems at work. While fans enjoyed the drama, there’s one particular scene by the character Jong-Seuk (Lee Jong-Suk) that fans often remember. In one episode, he desperately needs a laptop.

The only way he can see himself getting it is by doing some cringeworthy aegyo. Holding his fists up to his cheeks and giving his best puppy dog eyes, he asks his sibling for the laptop in a cutesy voice. He does so by also saying, “puing puing” to sound cute. Jong-Seuk’s aegyo is so shocking that his sibling falls on the bed in dismay. The aegyo later becomes the butt of everyone’s joke.

7 Jung Jae-Chan (While You Were Sleeping)

While You Were Sleeping may be one of the best legal K-dramas with some swoon-worthy romance, but it also had many comedic moments. In this case, the aegyo Jae-Chan (Lee Jong0Suk) displays in one episode is cute yet effective.

In the scene, a child witness is too scared to give his statement in the courtroom. Jae-Chan realizes what he must do to get the child comfortable. He starts talking in a cute voice telling the child he’s Santa’s friend. The display of aegyo actually works, despite his colleagues being in utter shock. His college even says, “Oh my god,” in English, at what she just witnessed.

6 Seo Yi-Do & Yoon Min-Seok (Perfume)

Perfume has two important aegyo scenes that go hand in hand. The first occurs with Yoon Min-Seok (Kim Min-Kyu) in episode 12 of the drama. Min-Seok is signing in a sweet voice to his girlfriend while saying “I love you” and making heart gestures with his fingers. At the same time, Seo Yi-Do (Shin Sung-Rok) witnesses it all and is baffled by his friend’s actions, calling it a “nightmare” then smacking Min-Seok with a pillow.

Comically enough, Yi-Do is in his office and looks straight into the camera. With dead eyes, he starts to recite the same song and aegyo moves that Min-Seok did earlier. Yi-Do looks a little stiff when trying to be carefree and cute. It just so happens that his coworker walks in and so embarrassed by his actions, Yi-Do sinks out of his chair.

5 Jin Seon-Mi (A Korean Odyssey)

The K-drama A Korean Odyssey had just about everything to enthrall fans: a riveting romance, fantasy storyline, and even one of the K-dramas that didn’t have a happily ever after. Fans also loved Jin Seon-Mi (Oh Yeon-Seo) and her aegyo moment in episode six. Oh-Gong (Lee Seung-Gi) doesn’t want to hear that Seon-Mi is cold because he loves her so much that he would give her his coat.

With a stomp of her foot, Seon-Mi opens her eyes even wider and gives a deadly puppy stare. Oh-Gong knows he’s doomed and refuses to look at her, but can’t help it when she uses a cute voice to say she’s cold. So affected by her aegyo, Oh-Gong clutches his heart.

4 Lee Su-Ho (True Beauty)

True Beauty is one of those K-dramas that fits the bill of being a great teen drama that hits all the most common K-drama tropes. The drama even has a heartwarming display of aegyo from Lee Su-Ho (Chan Eun-Woo). Su-Ho isn’t exactly known for being cute or displaying extreme affection. But things change when he starts dating Im Ju-Gyeong (Moon Ga-Young) and gets an idea.

After watching his friend perform an aegyo dance, Su-Ho gives it a try and records himself. But Su-Ho didn’t realize that he actually sent the video to Ju-Gyeong. The video shows him looking a bit stiff while singing about how much he likes his girlfriend and how beautiful she is. The video not only made Ju-Hyeong smile but fans as well.

3 Kang Mi-Rae (My ID Is Gangnam Beauty)

What’s the most effective way to get a discount at a store? The answer might be some cringe-worthy aegyo that ultimately didn’t work in Kang Mi-Rae’s (Im Soo-Hyang) favor. Mi-Rae and her friend are shocked at the cost of the candles they want to buy and try to haggle for a discount.

After her friend’s failed attempt, it’s up to Mi-Rae and it somehow works. She randomly talks in a high-pitched voice while aggressively shaking her shoulders and holding her fist up to her cheeks. The aegyo was so blasphemous that it had her friend and the shop owner looking away in embarrassment.

2 Ra Eun-Ho (School 2017)

There’s a reason why actress Kim Sejeong is dubbed the “Aegyo Queen.” In School 2017, her character Ra Eun-Ho displays one of the most well-known scenes of aegyo to date. In the drama’s final episode, Eun-Ho goes to visit her boyfriend at his new school and finds two female students trying to flirt with him and give him gifts.

What better way to stake your claim than with some aegyo? Eun-Ho calls her boyfriend “Oppa” in a baby voice while making cute hand gestures and expressing her dislike in seeing other girls hit on him. Puffing out her cheeks and giving him puppy dog eyes, she makes her boyfriend make clear that she’s his girlfriend. Once the female admirers are gone, so is the aegyo, and Eun-Ho gets serious.

1 Choi Ae-Ra & Ko Dong-Man (Fight For My Way)

Fight For My Way is a popular drama for its romance and best kissing scenes between the two main characters. The drama also has the top most talked about aegyo scene between the characters Choi Ae-Ra (Kim Ji-Won) and Ko Dong-Man (Park Seo-Joon) in episode 13. While discussing Dong-Man’s decision to continue fighting, Ae-Ra is displeased and uses aegyo to show it.

Her cutesy aegyo shocks their friend and the food truck owner, but Dong-Man won’t back down from a challenge. Dong-Man fights back with his own aegyo, which’s even more shocking, so shocking that his friends can’t believe their eyes.
