ae gyo

Derived from the Chinese characters "love (ae)" and "beautiful (gyo)." The closest English translation of ae gyo would be "winsome," defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary as "generally pleasing and engaging often because of a childlike charm and innocence." Not surprisingly, ae gyo is considered a feminine trait, generally attributed to women who can charm men and elders through a careful balance of sweetness, cuteness, poutiness, modesty, thoughtfulness, and submissiveness.

In doggie world, Zoey takes the crown! My good friend's baby~~

She always finds a body part to lay her head.
