Aeygo has taken over TikTok and at first we were like, WTF is this? But after further investigation, it actually is something we all do. Have you ever put on a baby voice to your boyfriend or girlfriend? That’s aeygo. Do you have the best dog in the world and love them so much it hurts and you want to squeeze them so you put on a silly voice? That’s aeygo.

Basically, Aegyo is a Korean term defined by The Collins Dictionary as, “denoting a Korean cultural style that emphasizes the quality of cuteness.” In general, it refers to putting on a “cutesy” type of voice with similar movements.

And it has swept Gen Z and Millennials alike on TikTok!

What Is Aegyo TikTok?

TikTok creator @bebiisan took to her platform to further explain to the masses what Aegyo is. In a video with over 500K views, Bebiisan starts by saying that a lot of people have a “misconception of what Aegyo is.” She adds, “Aegyo is actually a very broad term for acting cute…”. Bebiisan continues by saying that, “you can make it extra cringey on purpose” with an example of her doing “ugly Aegyo.”

Bebiisan finishes her video stating, “Y’all don’t understand how embedded Aegyo is into Korean culture, so it is so incredibly broad.”

Great! Thanks for clearing that up Bebiisan! So now that we have a clearer understanding of Aeygo, it comes as no surprise that Aeygo itself became a trend…

In the Aegyo TikTok dance trend, you can see the song, the moves, and the facial expressions definitely are meant to give off a “cute” vibe and we would say that they succeed in this.

But the dance is not the only Aegyo video that has gone for viral.

In a video posted by @jiminchii.aesthetic with 2.4 million views, we see a Korean girl and her guy friend talking about Aegyo. In the video, the girl asks him if he “knows what Aegyo is?” After he says he doesn’t, she responds with “don’t judge me” and starts to do the TikTok dance from above. His reaction is quite visceral saying, “I don’t know what’s worse. The fact that she’s doing Aegyo or the fact that she knows that phrase…”

In this video that was just posted earlier this month, a girl switches her voice from Aegyo to normal, further emphasizing the differences between the “cutesy” voice that people put on, and their normal voice.

And there you have it! So basically we’ve been doing Aegyo to our pets this whole time and had no idea! All that’s left is to learn Korean.

Is there a ‘Below Deck Adventure’ Reunion?

It’s not looking good, Below Deck Adventure fans — as of Feb. 14th, Bravo hasn’t released any sort of confirmation that a Below Deck Adventure Season 1 reunion is happening.

There wasn’t a Below Deck Adventure reunion promo in sight after the Below Deck Adventure Season 1 finale aired on Jan. 31st. Typically Bravo will air some sort of promo for a show’s reunion special after the season’s finale after all!

So does that mean we rule out all possibility that a Below Deck Adventure reunion isn’t happening? Never say never. However, none of the Below Deck Adventure Season 1 cast members have posted about a reunion special either, which isn’t boding well for the possibility of the Below Deck Adventure Season 1 reunion.

At this point, it’s probably easier to fly to the Norway Fjords than get answers!

Wait, so does this mean there won’t be a ‘Below Deck Adventure’ Season 2?

Has Bravo renewed Below Deck Adventure for a second season at least, if we’re not getting a Below Deck Adventure Season 1 reunion special?

The status of Below Deck Adventure Season 2 is also up in the air as of Valentine’s Day 2023. Perhaps Bravo is prepping a reunion special for the first season and setting up to film Below Deck Adventure Season 2? All we know is, there’s no confirmation for anything regarding the future of this particular Below Deck spinoff series.

Article continues below advertisement

So what is airing next when it comes to the Below Deck franchise? At least fans of the sailing series will get Season 10, Episode 12 of the original Below Deck this Friday, Feb. 17th, at 8 p.m.. ET!

Now that the entire first season of Below Deck Adventure Season 1 has aired on Bravo, you can binge the entire season on Peacock!

To make matters even less likely for a Below Deck Adventure Season 1 reunion. cast member Oriana Schneps wrote this on her Instagram after the Season 1 Below Deck Adventure finale aired – “And just like that, it’s over.”

Has the Below Deck Adventure reunion special ship sailed? Stay tuned for updates!

Raven has “gone on quite a few dates” following her split with SK from ‘Love Is Blind.’

Raven and SK’s relationship was anything but stable, but the Love Is Blind star didn’t let that deter her. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the 29-year-old pilates instructor revealed that she dated several people following her breakup with SK in November 2022.

“I’ve gone on quite a few dates [since SK],” she told the outlet. “Actually, the guy that I’m dating now sent me a message on Instagram. It’s relatively new. But it’s going well, so knock on wood.”

Raven is manifesting an engagement by the end of 2023.

Raven’s new relationship is going well, and she envisions a proposal on the horizon. She said she’s manifesting a long-term relationship with her new partner…one that will end in marriage.

“I’m going to say it out loud: I really feel like I’m going to be engaged this year,” she said. “I mean, [he’s] definitely the front-runner for sure. Yeah. Oh my gosh, I’m obsessed.”

Raven and SK broke up when cheating allegations involving SK emerged.

In November 2022, allegations emerged that Raven’s reality television counterpart cheated on her. After a woman on TikTok revealed that she went on a Hinge date with SK after Season 3 wrapped, more cheating allegations began to surface.

Mere days after the infidelity scandal, Raven deleted all photos of her and SK from social media. Then, the Love Is Blind stars took to their respective Instagram stories to announce their breakup.

“We are saddened to announce that we have decided to go our separate ways,” the announcement read. “Due to ongoing legal proceedings surrounding these allegations, we cannot provide additional details and ask that you please respect our privacy during this hard time.”

SK denied the allegations that he had cheated on Raven.

In an interview with Life&Style, the 34-year-old Love Is Blind star insisted he wasn’t unfaithful. “All the allegations about me cheating are false … At no point did we consider each other boyfriend and girlfriend,” SK said.

“When Raven and I left the altar, I went about living my life as a single guy and she went about living her life as a single woman.”

However, during Netflix’s Love Is Blind: After the Altar special, Raven disagreed with that statement. “Since then, a lot has changed. My world is completely different because, you know, SK cheated on me and now our relationship is over,” the 29-year-old said.

But after everything she’s been through, Raven will continue to wear her heart on her sleeve. “Pretty much the worst that could happen has already happened,” she told PEOPLE. “So I may as well just lean into it with everything I have and see if something will change.”

Pardison Fontaine Seemingly Shares A Valentine’s Day Picture With Megan Thee Stallion Amid Breakup Rumors

It appears that we can finally put rumors of Megan Thee Stallion‘s and Pardison Fontaine‘s breakup to rest. Today (February 14), Pardi shared a picture of two hands on Instagram, one appearing to belong to him and one appearing to belong to Meg, taking heart-shaped shots on his story.

Last week, rumors began circulating that the two had broken up after fans noticed the two unfollowed each other on social media.

Though neither of the two issued any comment regarding a rumored break-up, Pardi seemingly responded to the rumors, joking that he got “da boot,” while modeling those viral red MSCHF boots on the ‘gram.

Though neither party’s face can be seen in the story posted today, several of Meg’s fans are convinced that the hand pictured is hers, as they recognized her fabulous nails.

“Pardi posted Meg’s nail,” said one fan, “so maybe Tmrw we might get to finally see her and see some bday drip.”

Megan hasn’t shared any new music, guested on anyone’s songs, or made any public appearances in months. She also hasn’t posted to social media during that time.

So, as one could expect, fans were excited to get some sort of sign that Megan appears to be happy and well.

“Pardi posted Meg’s hand and that’s all I need from her until she’s ready,” said another fan. “Just glad to know my bby is alive.”

Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Sam Hauser Hit A Ridiculous 3 Over Khris Middleton To Force Overtime In Celtics-Bucks

Despite being down Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, and Marcus Smart, the Boston Celtics forced overtime on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks, which have won 11 in a row and own the NBA’s second-best record at 40-17.

Derrick White, Malcolm Brogdon, Mike Muscala, and Blake Griffin all helped Boston reach that point, as well as Sam Hauser, who buried a preposterous three off the bounce over Khris Middleton with only a few seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The long ball marked Hauser’s third of the night and gave him 15 points in regulation. He also added nine rebounds and two assists.

The bucket probably carried a little extra weight for Hauser, who’s a Green Bay, Wisconsin, native.

Ultimately, Milwaukee climbed out of an early overtime hole and extended its winning streak to 11, headlined by a late triple from Jrue Holiday. Yet Tuesday was another impressive performance over the past seven days from a significantly shorthanded Celtics club against a fellow top-three team in the East. Last week, they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 106-99, inside TD Garden.

Much like last season, both the Bucks and Boston figure to factor prominently into the Eastern Conference playoff outlook. The win for Milwaukee moved it to just half a game behind the 41-17 Celtics for the No. 1 seed, in spite of Hauser’s temporary late game heroics.

Clothing and another glass of wine are shown on the floor in the photo. The post received nearly 400,000 likes, with many other celebrities commenting on it.

“Wait is that @emrata in the back?” music producer Benny Blanco wrote. “Remove the arrow or delete this.”

“That Boy Ball’N!!!!” rapper Killer Mike commented.

“Hawt boiiii,” Pitch Perfect star Adam DeVine wrote.

Ratajkowski and André reportedly began dating in January, when they shared a dinner date in New York City, according to Page Six. The two have since been spotted in the Cayman Islands and at a few basketball games.

In July 2022, Ratajkowski split with her husband of four years, film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. She filed for divorce in September, according to Page Six, and since then, they’ve seemed to be focused on coparenting their 1-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.

Representatives for André and Ratajkowski did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News’ requests for comment on Tuesday.

Beabadoobee Celebrates Moments Of Joy And Love In Her New Video For ‘Glue Song’

Beabadoobee is not one to shy away from emotion. As many of her detail poignant accounts of living with anxiety, her latest effort sees her basking in love. On her new single, “Glue Song,” Beabadoobee is in a state of pure bliss, celebrating the joy of falling in love.

“I’ve never known someone like you / Tangled in love stuck by you / From the glue / Don’t forget to kiss me / Or else you’ll have to miss me
I guess I’m stuck forever / By the glue, oh, and you,” sings Beabadoobee over gentle strings, making the song feel all the more romantic.

In the song’s accompanying video, Beabadobee is seen in her homeland, the Philippines, as she spends time riding around the city, enjoying meals and sharing laughs with her family, and embracing intimate moments with her boyfriend.

“I wrote a lot of this song while on tour across Australia and Asia in the back of cars and traveling,” said Beabadoobee in a statement. “It’s a heartfelt song that means a lot to me…. A love song and the first one I’ve written in my new relationship. I usually write these songs that are sad, in the past with my writing even when it doesn’t sound sad looking back, the lyrics usually have been. For the first time this is just me being really happy. I’m in a really positive place for the first time in a long time and feeling love. We recorded the song with my guitarist and producer Jacob in his house and added in trumpets and strings. This song feels really personal and I went to my hometown in Ilo Ilo to film the music video. It’s where I was born and so that also added another personal touch to the song.”

You can watch the video for “Glue Song” above.

‘Joker’ Director Todd Phillips Rang In Valentine’s Day By Sharing A First Look At Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn In The Sequel ‘Folie À Deux’

Arthur Fleck, the troubled loner Joaquin Phoenix played in the mega-hit sorta-spinoff Joker, was sad and single the first we saw him. In its sequel, though, he has himself a girlfriend: Looks like Joker: Folie-à-Deux is going to tell the story about how the clown that fights Batman seduced Dr. Harleen Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, while in Arkham Asylum. And for Valentine’s Day, director Todd Phillips decided to show a first look at the two love birds.

It’s not much: just a dark picture of Phoenix’s Arthur looking emotional, with what could either be makeup or blood on his cheek. Gaga’s future Harley Quinn holds his face, staring at him in shock or horror or both.

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” Phillips wrote in the caption.

Folie à Deux started filming back in December, and while details are currently unknown, its got a pretty great supporting cast. On top of a returning Zazie Beetz, as the neighbor with whom Arthur was infatuated, there’s Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener, who are both always welcome. For Gaga, it will be her first film since doing an Italian accent in House of Gucci, in which she acted opposite another person who’s played the Joker, Jared Leto. Meanwhile, she has the full support of another big screen Harley Quinn: Margot Robbie.
