알파벳 라인 만들기 열풍
  

Lines, lines and more lines. Lines are all the rage in Korea. It's a trend that has hit South Korea fast and hard. These days it is common to describe bodies in terms of lines; in particular woman's bodies. So far, the letters S, U, V, W and X ① ____ ___ ____ ____ __ ____ body parts of women.

The term "S-line," for example, is used to describe a woman with curves, as the letter S has some resemblances to the outline of a woman's body viewed from the side. When speaking of the exposed lower back, trendy people may use the term "U-line." And "V-line" ② ___ __ ____ __ ________ either a woman's angular face or her cleavage, while the "W-line" describes her chest directly. Last but not least is the "X-line," for women with long legs and arms and a narrow waist.

But is there any harm in using letters to describe a woman's body? Some people think so, and many of them are blogging about it. Some think ③ ___ ____ ________ __ _____ ______ __ ________ _____ . But, as "S-lines" and "V-lines" appear more and more frequently on talk shows, in dramas and television commercials, it's becoming harder for citizens to ignore the trend. "It actually belies much more pernicious trends in society at large," one blogger said. "Female celebrities are vocally espousing their alphabetlines and therefore actually objectifying themselves as a conglomeration of "perfect" body parts rather than as whole, genuine people."

On the other hand, there are just as many people who ④ ____ ____ _____ __ __ ____ __ _____ the alphabet to talk about bodies. For some, it may seem no different than using any other word or adjective. And letters are not being used to describe only women, either. In all fairness, the "M-line" exists to speak of men's abdominal muscles.

Either way that you look at it, it seems that the alphabet trend is here to stay, at least until another trend ⑤ _____ __ ____ ___ _____. And so far, it seems to be unique to South Korea.
