Koreaboo is someone who does not have korean genes, live in Korea, or in another way are korean, that does basically
everything to be korean. A koreaboo often does a few, all, or more than the following:
1. Doing aegyo (Acting cute) randomly in situations that does not call for it. (If you do it sometimes you may not be a koreaboo, don't worry)
2. Mixing korean phrases with english, examples: Hey babe, you're my oppa. Noona, hi! Annyeonghaseyo guys. I SARANG HIM. Saranghae. Kkaepjjang! (If you say a few of these phrases
you are not a koreaboo, just don't use them for
everything, Thank me later.)
3. CRAVING a korean girlfriend/boyfriend. (You aren't a koreaboo if you happen to have a koren girl/boyfriend but if you will not tolerate dating someone who isn't korean, please stop.)
4. Trying to be korean; like, dressing in traditional korean clothing, doing your makeup to look more korean, etc. (Styles and such do not make you a koreaboo, but don't try to be what you aren't.)
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
You are not a koreaboo if you are
interested in korean culture, are learning the language, liking kpop and kdramas, and other stuff. But if your behavior is strange, please stop, because koreans may find it offensive, weird, or creepy when meeting or seeing a koreaboo because they are often fetishized.
