[YAKSON] KOREAN NEW-COINED WORDS: WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
When you look over the internet,
you sometimes find some Korean-English words
that are not familiar to you, called “Konglish.”
They are written in English but most of the people
do not
understand. No matter how much you think,
these words have no notice of
what
they actually refer to.
Today, Yakson will be
introducing
the new beauty-related words of Korean people.
S-LINE
A jargon that refers to the body line
from
the back to the waist and pelvis, of a woman.

The silhouette of the body looks like
the
letter S when viewed from the front or side
due to the slender waist and the
wide pelvis.
It is a silhouette founded by Jacques Fath
in France in the spring of 1954.
The skirts were shaped like an alphabet S
when
it was seen from the side,
and the so-called S curve line got started to be used
in the Korean fashion industry.
Eventually, it seems to have been established
as a term for the line of the body.
V-LINE
It is the silhouette that reminds the alphabet
V character.
In fashion industry, it refers to the silhouette
of the inverted triangle
whose shoulder width is wider
and narrower toward the end.
Also, when referring
to the face shape,
it usually refers to the slender and beautiful face shape.
It is close to an oval facial shape,
rather
than a rectangular one.
And a sharp jaw line and a pointy jaw
are the marks of
the V-line face.

APPLE
HIP
Last
year, the fitness trend among Korean women
has emerged, called “apple hip” or
“apple bottoms.”
The
reason why it is called “apple hip”
is that Koreans prefer to use the word ‘hip,’
more than the word ‘bottoms’ or ‘butts.’
Moreover, the overall shape of butts looks
like an apple!
Rather
than a preference for a thin and slender look,
more and more women have been
working out
towards a healthy and sexy figure instead.
Handfuls of active women with
more toned bodies
have gotten much positive attention
in light of this trend.
So far, you have learned about
the funny
beauty-related words of Korean people
together with Yakson House.
If you get
familiar with these new words,
you would feel closer to more trendy

beauty tips, right?
