Korean men like someone with agrees with what they say, has aegyo like a baby, and just very pure.
But here, they like girls who are really strong, sexy and those who have an opinion.
If a girl has a quiet personality, [American men] think it’s unattractive. I think they prefer someone who speaks their mind.”

Netizen Comments:
“Mental hahahahahahahahah illness hahahahahahahah sh*t”
“I also lived in the States and noticed that they don’t understand aegyo.”
“Just a natural aegyo? I don’t think it matters because the way people naturally express aegyo is something that reflects on the cultural society. We don’t need to consider the Western culture as our standards anyway haha But I really can’t stand it when people force grown adults to act like little children and do aegyo hahaha I’m not saying that aegyo is just bad! I think it’s important in the meaning behind it. “
“When did the western standard become the correct standard hahaha”
“I don’t know if it’s just me but I never lived abroad and I f*cking hate aegyo. The only time it’s acceptable is when it’s f*cking hilarious.”
“hahahahahahahahaha a mentally ill child that’s f*cking funny hahahahahahaha”
“I seriously wish variety shows would stop making men and women do aegyo. Honestly speaking, isn’t aegyo just trying to be a baby again? I don’t understand why people want that nor do I want to understand it.”
