What comes up to your mind when you think of honey? Winnie the Pooh? Waffles covered in honey? Then have you heard of honey skin, honey thighs and honey abs? Here we introduce the up-and-coming term, “kkul(꿀),” which translates to honey in Korean. This is mostly used as a prefix, used accordingly with many different nouns, such as honey skin, abs, thighs, vocal cords, part time jobs, and fun to name a few. The prefix, like the literal meaning, can be used figuratively to mean something nice and smooth. Let’s explore some of the most-used terms with the word kkul.

每當講起蜜糖,你會想起些甚麼?小熊維尼?鋪滿蜂蜜的格仔餅嗎?不知道你又有沒有聽過「蜜肌」、「蜜大腿」和「蜜腹」?現在,讓小編介紹韓國最新的潮語「kkul 꿀」。「꿀」經常用作字首,用來修飾不同名詞,是蜜糖的意思,用來形容事物美好而順滑。讓我們一起看看以「꿀」作字首的用語吧!

蜜大腿,用作形容女生那種結實、有線條的大腿,是韓國組合After School的UEE帶起這個用語,因為她本人就是擁有這樣結實健美的長腿。通常,擁有蜜大腿的女生身形都不會太瘦。
