Kpop: BPPOP (비피팝) - Aegyo gone to far?





The debut of kpop group BPPOP has been greeted with rather mixed responses from fans and reviewers alike since the group may be taking the aegyo style to far. The Korean name of the style is an affection often used in asia and may be known to you indirectly via the wider concept of Kawaii in Japanese culture. If you aren't fluent in hangul you may miss out on some of the finer points in the video which is the way they pronounce and use words like children, but the video choregraphy tells some of it. On the other hand, this kind of naive acting may be unusual in kpop, but just step over the Korean strait to Japan and you will get this kind of affection in almost every video with female members. You actually get to see much more explicit and evident aegyo channeling in kdrama's, where you usually cant go for more than 10 minutes before hearing a "oppa" in most romantic dramas.
