Koreans, especially young netizens love to create new words to describe the latest trend. There are new word or catch phrase created every other week that I don’t even try to keep up, but observing the creation of new words used to describe beautiful bodies over couple of months has been somewhat entertaining, hence this post.
It started out with Korea’s obsession of S-Line or women’s curvy figure. Chopstick figured body was out and glamour was in. Every female celeb on TV tried to show off their S-Line and if they didn’t have it, they would even pose a certain way to look like they had it. Then, male celebs got on the “let’s show off our beautiful bodies” bandwagon and started to flash us with their perfect abs and the word M-Line was formed to describe their fine abs.
S-Line
M-Line
One line word per gender, not bad. But it started to get out of hand when BoA’s face was referred as the V-Line and singer Byul’s lower back as the U-Line.
V-Line
U-Line
What’s next? The I-line for your legs and E-line for your fingers? Seriously, somebody needs to put a break into this silly word formations. It’s not creative nor catchy. What’s worse is that nobody’s going to understand what the heck you are talking about when you say, “I love your V-line, can I have your number?” outside Korea.
Whahaha good post here! so funny the linggo S-Line, V-Line,M-Line, and “what the heck-line are you talking about??”
The S line makes sense because it’s been around for ages and it’s even in Chinese and Japanese magazines as the Ideal Shape. The other ones make no sense to me X_X
I’m an S line, btw
nice post. rofl.
i wish i got M. argghh!
Huh. If they want an S-line so badly they can have mine instead of standing around posing like morons.
The world needs more Son Ho Young without his shirt, seriously.
Now..i second that seriously…i want more M-lines..manly stuff..HoYoung smiles, abs n all…
I, myself, have a Q-Line.
whats a q line?
i have a v and s line
ahahhha i love the m line the best x]
LOL.
Well S-line is fine…. but when it gets so out of hand that there’s a v-line and a u -line then… yeah.
I have one word for all this ‘line’ crap, 오바!
Oh, I had been wondering what S-line meant. I was in the dark for so long! So I guess it’s good that I have an U-line, V-line, and S-line? I’m assuming, it might be bad @_@ hehe
Jesus; the above photo reminds me that Bada is not all that attractive!
wtf…is s-line like the hourglass shape or something [???]
There is such thing as an I Line. It’s referring to your body as being a stick. D Line if you’re fat…
hahhahaha
S line is really easy to get
hahahaha…i have no line…. im O shaped
No, next is going to be the L line. Because if you bend the L, it could turn into anything. xP
hehe so funny!..I line for leg..n E line for finger…LOL.i really cant stop laughing
Eheh, a new word every week, huh? Koreans sure have imaginative minds.
hehe.. this is funny!!!
what exactly is an s-line? can someone tell me what s, m, v, etc. stand for?
Hehe, seriously that word “S-Line” ticks me off.
Just like the word “Hwaiting” (for “Fighting”), i hate hearing it.
I love Korean celebs and their music, their great.
But sometimes their slang words doesn’t sound good to me haha!
Whats sad is that half these people have no idea what a true “S line” even looks like. But atleast they tried. =/
