Secret is the only Kpop girl group with bodies that I find really attractive.
They have the most "glamorous" bodies out of any of the Kpop girl groups.
"Glamorous" is the Korean way of saying that they've either got tits or ass - some kind of lady curves. Like, there will be an article about Hyorin (of Sistar) showing off her "glamorous" body, which really just means that she wore something that showed some cleavage. Actually, I think that usually "glamorous" = boobies. They don't even know how to handle asses (see the original inspiration post for a great video of Zinger dancing a Beyonce song and the guys around her literally dropping their jaws). If they want to talk both T & A usually they go with a concept of "S-line" - e.g. "Sunny has a great S-line."

Ahh, the ever popular s-line. We all know what the letter “s” looks like - curvy. This is exactly what the term is used to describe, a curvy woman. Well, curvy in KPOP standards. It almost resembles an hourglass: larger around the chest and buttocks than at the waist.
S-Liners: 4minute’s Hyuna, miss A’s Min and Secret’s Zinger
(from The Complete Glossary of KPOP Body Terms)
(Korean's may think that Hyuna has an S-Line, but I think she's flat as a pancake all around. She just knows how to shake/accessorize that flatness in a distracting enough way that it gets everyone confused.)
Actually, 3 of the 4 girls in Secret have pretty awesome S-Lines. I just think the girls in Secret have the right amount of meat on their bones, and in the correct places:
Unfortunately, Korean ideals finally got to Secret, and they all have slimmed down over the past couple of years, which I find terribly disappointing. I loved that there was on legitimately sexy-bodied girl-group. They're still a bit better than most, but they're much closer to the standard now, Zinger included. T__T
And if you looked at that video and you were like, what are you talking about - those girls are practically sticks?!? Well, I sympathize with you. But after years of watching Kpop, I have acquired a Korean-lens for body image (which I can turn off, no worries). For comparison, though, let me introduce you to Rainbow, who I find to be creepily stick-like.
Yeah. Just felt like sharing. Because I always feel like sharing Kpop videos. Always.
And we have to end with Secret, because retro dances and shapely legs are better than skinny Rainbow girls.
