The K-Pop Dream 67 Sexy Aegyo

"So there was this day on set... (I turn to the make eye contact with the camera) Legacy Brilliant coming out April 25th on SKBS. Please give us lots of love."

"Hey you can't just promote other networks on here !" Suk jin fires back at my shameless self promotion

"Anyway, I ordered pizza for the crew and staff. When it arrived, it was all set by the table. Won comes over and is like" I motion putting my hair behind my ear, and do a cold female impression " "

"Dylan, you mustn't waste your money like this, it's very irresponsible. You need to take care of yourself, us as actors we don't know when we will get paid again. Blah blah blaah" and I'm like yes noona, yes noona. I get reprimanded for a full 15 minutes. 15 minutes!

Eventually, I'm called for my scene, so I run off and get into shooting.

About 3 takes later or like 20 minutes, I come back thinking i'll grab a quick bite and guess who I see pigging out.

Yes Noona finished a whole pizza! Guys! A whole pizza and this is after she scolded me too. You know what she said when I questioned her"

"No no no , what did she say?"

*Ahem* "I thought you said, I must save my money huh, and she was like "Well you spent it already, its not like me not eating is going to save you money" .

At that moment I knew I lost. Her voice is calming and her aura is elegant but she's full of heodang (a person who is always a bit off and easily confused) charms."

Suk Jin laughs, as Won blushes a bit under embarrasment, "Ahhh, You just saved Soo's story, she won't be edited out, Soo I think you need to thank dylan."

Soo cutely answers, "Thank ...You...Dylan" She p.r.o.nounces everything as clearly as possible

"No problem Soo-ah but you need to thank Chae-won too" I answer her with a smile.

Looking to my left to catch a glimpse of her adorable gestures.

The rest of the introduction proceeds without a hitch as everyone gets there 20 seconds of TV time.

The MC's do however pay more attention to others than some.

Finally its my turn again. I prepared a little something, so as per the script I will get to show of my skill.

"So Dylan. I heard you are a really good singer" The MC asks

"Yes, music has always been something I enjoy."

I'm handed a guitar and after 'warming up'/showing off with a few quick key progressions I get into position in the middle of the stage.

"This is a song, which I really enjoy singing. It captures how much love you feel, even when you can't explain it."

I tap the base , 1, 2 , 1 , 2 ,3, 4

I strum the stings and an Autumn melody fills the room, making it serene as can be.

We are transported from this cold studio into the night out with a loved one in front of a campfire watching the stars.

"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart" I sing in a deep yet steady tone a perfect accompaniment to the acoustic setting.

"Without saying a word ... you can light up the dark"

"Try as I may I could never explain... what I hear when you don't say a thing" Pausing for a slight moment before speeding up the tempo ever so slightly

"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Now you say it best .... when you say nothing at all"

I strum a bit more finis.h.i.+ng the song neatly. Letting the remaining sound hover in the air before settling in to the hearts of the listeners.

...

Applause rings out amid the shouts and cheers. The effort one puts in is never seen but the reward you get always justifies it.

"Waah Dylan, that was amazing. But I hear you have another song to play" Suk jin chugs the script along

I nod my head, its time to show off my vocal range.

Putting a latin spin on proceedings, I do some quick vocal riffs. Ala Shakira

"ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah"

Waiting with abated breath the studio and live audience expectations are at a all time high.

"gom se mari ga(aaah) han ji be I su-(uah) (there are 3 bears in a home)

a pa go(ooom)m (daddy bear)

um ma go(ooom)m (mommy bear)

e(eeee) gi gom (a baby bear)"

I start adding my own s.e.xy flair to the cla.s.sic korean nursery rhyme.

The entire studio is shocked silent. A PD even did a spit take at the back once he heard the first line from my mouth.

" a pa go(ooooh) moon toong toong he (The daddy bear is fat)

um ma go(ooohwooah) moon nal sin he (The mommy bear is thin)

e gi go moon nu moo gi yo wo(ooooah) (The baby bear is cute)

ook hi chook jal han da(aaaah) (Well done)"

I wrap my latin influenced nursery rhyme off with the coolest of riffs I can muster as I turn my attention to the other guests, and ask "What you guys think" with a smug look on my face.

This causes an explosion of laughter. Even Won can't control herself

The MC, Suk Jin, takes of his gla.s.ses to wipe a tear that has formed "Aaah Dylan, how did you come up with that" He asks

"Uhmmm too many people just do aegyo, so I wanted to kick it up a notch... Introducing s.e.xy Aegyo"

"s.e.xy Aegyo!? You say" Suk jin laughingly repeats

"Yeah, I'm working on a trademark" I wink

"What do you girls think? were you impressed?" Suk Jin asks the SNSD members

Yoo-ah whose jaw has been dropped since the beginning of my little show has a gaze full of admiration.... and affection.

"Daebak!" Yoona says while clapping her hands.

"What about you, Tiff?" The MC asks

Tiffany whose from the Americas, answers in English exaggeratedly, "Wow, that was amazing (English)"

I respond in kind smilingly, "Thanks, you are pretty amazing yourself too"

Tiffany blushes in embarra.s.sment and hides her face behind her hands. Causing the entire studio to oooh and aaaah.

This leads to some teasing by the MC's at my expense of course.

"What about you Uri and Soo? Do you have any opinions"

While Uri responds curtly and says, "I was great". Soo, puts on a contemplating expression before deciding to comment, "Dylan, can you do that again but this time without your s.h.i.+rt on"

I cross my hands across my chest and yell jokingly "Pervert!"

This causes a burst of laughter.

The recording then proceeds rather uneventfully as we are tasked to play various mini-games and team challenges.

SNSD ends up with the win after some very creative counting by the MC's.

Looks like the uncle fans couldn't help but cheat to give them the win.

At the end of the day, I am completely worn out.

It's been one h.e.l.l of a day. Little did I know it hadn't ended .. Just yet.
