A/N: HOLA!

Sorry for not being able to update for a while. Been busy with school and I still have my other FanFic going on ;-; so it was hard for me to do both. Since I'm sorry for making you wait, I'll make this one longer especially for you ;)

ENJOY!!!

---------------------------------------------------

Aegyo: Acting overly cute and innocent to charm fans. Can be done by male or female idos. 

All-kill: The weirdly violent term used for a K-pop song that reaches the top spot on all the major charts.

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.

Bias: Your absolute favorite singer, whom you will support no matter what his/her project is. 

Bias wrecker: An actor or idol who comes along and threatens the place in your heart of your favorite actor (bias). For example, "I thought I was in forever love with G-Dragon until I heard about T.O.P. Such a bias wrecker!"

CF: Commercial film. Sometimes crazy, sometimes weird, but always cute commercial starring your favorite K-drama and K-pop stars.

Selca: A selca is a self-portrait taken with a camera phone. The standard selca involves holding your cell phone angled down so you look smaller, and posing in an extremely cute way. Selcas can be taken with or without props, and can even include personal doodles for added cuteness.

Choding: Someone who acts childish, using a lot of aegyo

S line: Describes a woman's body shape. When looking at your side body profile, if you have a noticeable bust that leads down to a flat stomach and curvy slope-like backside, well then congratulations: you have an S line!

Sasaeng: Obsessive "fans" who have one too many screws loose. These "fans" are known for their outrageous and often dangerous behavior towards Idols and actors. Sasaeng fans are known to stalk idols outside their homes, even break into their homes, chase them down in cars and taxis, and send creepy, disgusting, and unsanitary gifts

Comeback: Whether a group or performer is out of the limelight for years, months, or just a couple weeks, you can bet that when they return with a new project it'll be called their comeback

Eye smile: When a male or female smiles, their eyes become small and also form into their own smile. Usually eye smiles are a stealthy way of flirting and stealing your affections. A guy or girl can be crazy or even rude, but the moment they smile and reveal their eye smile, they're the cutest people in the universe!

Skinship: When one person touches another person. It doesn't even have to be a major touch. If one person brushes their hand along another, it's skinship. If one person's shoulder accidentally brushes up against another it's still considered skinship.

Fanservice: Something idols and actors do just to please fans, even if it's not relevant to the show. For example, K-drama shower scenes (not complaining).

Kkab: Is a slang term used when describing someone who is acting crazy and overly energetic to the point of annoyance. Just as Jo Kwon is the poster child for "Ssanti" he is also known as "Kkab Kwon" because of his outrageous dances.

Ssanti: Means "cheap" in Korean, but is usually used to describe a silly, satirical dance idols may perform on variety shows. Jo Kwon of 2AM is the poster child for booty shaking ssanti variety show dances. A/N: I'm sorry Jo Kwon fans! Jo Kwon just suits everything! LMAO! This guy is friggin awesome!! GIF There of ssanti and Kkab lel.

Trainee: Pre-debut idols who spend hours practicing and perfecting their stage skills and talents. Trainees have yet to complete the process of idolization.

Example: LC9 member E.Den as a trainee, and now as an idol.

Maknae: In every K-pop group, there is a youngest member. That member is referred to as the group'smaknae and is often an evil naughty person with the face of an angel.

Melodrama: A K-drama that is so dramatic it will usually have you crying by the end of the first episode. You know you're watching a major melodrama when the first 6 episodes involves child actors and tragedy.

Noona: Korean word meaning "older sister" used by males related or not, speaking to an older woman or girl. A noona usually finds herself being the object of affection for countless younger guys. SHINee are poster children for loving all the noonas in the world.

Noona Killer: A hot younger guy capable of making all the noonas love him by ruining their lives with actions such as winking, smiling, teasing, and in extreme cases of manipulation, sucking kimchi juice off their fingers. Noonas BEWARE

Omo!: The "OMG" of Korea. One usually uses this term when wanting to make a current situation even more dramatic. This term is best used when you find out something extremely surprising and shocking. If you really want to sound like you're shocked use multiple "omos" back to back really fast

OST: Stands for Original Sound Track. A single or album of songs created for specifically for a K-Drama. OSTs have the power to make any drama watcher cry or feel extremely happy, often at the same time. They are perfectly placed soundtracks at the best and worst moments of the drama to increase your feels!

Otoke: Meaning "what to do?" or "What do I/We do?" Usually used in moments of desperation or total confusion. See "Omo" for an additional way to heighten the dramatic flair of your sentence.

OTP: Meaning "One True Pairing," OTP is an acronym used to describe your favorite pairings of people. Romantic or not, you can feel when two people belong together. When you smile and insist on seeing two people together, then you have found your "OTP."A/N: HOLY SHT. MY OTP IS LIKE, KIM WOO BING AND LEE JONG SUK TOGETHA!!! 

Pojangmacha: These are the tents on Korean streets most K-drama characters go to in order to drown their sorrows in bottles of soju and delicious side dishes. Major K-drama moments usually take place under these tents which may include but are not limited to: office workers hilariously insulting their bosses, love confessions and 5-minute flashback cutaways.

Rookie: An actor or idol group who have just debuted in the entertainment industry. Example: "Rookie Ha Yeon Soo made her debut in the K-drama Monstar." The rookie title doesn't just vanish after a year or so of working; the title will only drop once an actor or idol has achieved a certain level of success in the industry.
