A
Aegyo: Acting overly cute and innocent to charm fans. Can be done by male or female idols.
Aigoo: A word used to show frustration. The Korean equivalent of "aw man!" or "geez."
Ajumma: A Korean term for middle-aged married women. Stereotypically, these seasoned citizens have short permed hair and wear house dresses or slacks everywhere. Korean women in their 30's may will take offense to being called this.
Ajusshi: Literally means 'uncle,' but is used in polite conversation to refer to a man who is older than you, and who you don't know well. A bit like calling someone "Sir" in English.
All-kill: The weirdly violent term used for a K-pop song that reaches the top spot on all the major charts.
Andwae: Korean word meaning "no way," usually used in moments of disbelief, shock, fear, or defiance. Andwae is also one of those words you'll end up using by yourself while surfing the web and stumbling upon a scandalous story or outrageous fan fiction.
Antis: Fans who unite against a certain actor or singer are anti-fans, or "antis" for short. Usually they become antis because they feel like their bias is in competition with the idol.
Army: South Korea's mandatory two years of military service that just about every male idol goes through, usually dropping out of the celebrity spotlight momentarily. When idols and flower boys come back from the service, they're expected to have a lot of abs, and an obligatory shower scene in their next project to show off said abs.
A.R.M.Y: Acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth. The fandom name of 방탄소년단 or BTS or Beyond The Scene
