Daniel Radcliffe greets fans with “bbuing bbuing” aegyo

After making headlines in the K-Pop world for choosing Tiffany as SNSD’s prettiest member, English actor famous for playing the title role in the Harry Potter film series, Daniel Radcliffe made his Korean fans twitterpated again as he greeted them in Korean.

Radcliffe was interviewed for his new movie “The Woman in Black.” He started the interview by greeting in Korean, “Annyeonghaseyo” (Hello) then introduced himself. After answering the questions thrown to him he ended the interview by uttering another Korean greeting. He said “Saranghaeyo! (I love you) Bbuing bbuing!” with matching gesture.
What amazed the fans was not the “annyeonghaseyo’ or “saranghaeyo” greetings, which are commonly used by foreign artists when they visit Korea but the last salutation words he mentioned. “Bbuing bbuing” is a recently trending aegyo expression popularized by MBC comedy sitcom High Kick 3 and KBS2’s Gag Concert “Mantis’ Kindergarten.” By saying “bbuing bbuing” along with the packaged gesture, it should make the person look cute.

Contrary to Radcliffe’s role in the Harry Potter film series this movie gives him a very mature character. Directed by James Watkins and written by Jane Goldman, this horror-thriller film is based on Susan Hill’s novel “The Woman in Black.”

What do you think of Radcliffe’s “bbuing bbuing” aegyo? You should try it too!
