South Koreans never short of creative and catchy phrases when it comes to adapting English words into their daily dictionary. Previously, they came up with the phrase ‘Manner Legs’ to describe when a tall celebrity uses wide stance when standing with fellow shorter celebrities. In an industry where height, weight and manners become the main topics that are easily subjected to criticism, it is crucial for the celebrities to always display impeccable public appearance.
