Even without intentionally making a sexy concept, it exudes a strong sense of sexiness. Representatively, IU was a sexy diva with a soft atmosphere and sexy vibes. Although the concept is completely opposite to
Girl Crush (a strong and dignified image), it is sometimes combined with Girl Crush like Hyori Lee and Hyuna . In this case, the concept is offset (neutralized), so it is possible to create a suitable image that does not look too sexy or too strong.
In fact, it is difficult to define a single definition of sexual attraction, even if it is not necessarily a weak female image, because it can vary depending on taste and preference, and it is sometimes expressed as sexy as a confident and independent woman in terms of sexiness.

3. Eloquence
In Korea, many people understand that sexy is 'naughty'. Moreover , since there is no expression corresponding to sexy in Korean , it gives a rather subtle feeling. As a result, the Korean word 'naughty' changes to a sense of 'shameful', 'something to hide', 'vulgar', and 'ignorant' rather than the positive meaning of 'sexy' in English.
Another reason why I think it's obscene is that if you subtract the letter y after Sexy from Sexy, it becomes Sex, which means sexual intercourse .
However, even the negative perception of sexy has changed in the times, so there are also people who seek change, saying that it is okay to be dirty or that sexual attractiveness is as important as appearance. Because of this, Koreans were divided into actively rejecting sexy or pursuing dirty things in the guise of sexy.
When people of the same sex say they are sexy, it is often taken as a compliment.
Conservative people often see sexy as dirty, so in Yangji, the word "sexy" is added to the word "sexy" and "controversial" more than necessary even if there is no actual controversy. As a result, Korean broadcasts and other media use sexy for minors or abuse the word sexy by minors.
IdolsThere is also 'Hapti' with a slightly twisted sexiness as it is widely used in the industry. It is used to ridicule an idol who gives a feeling of cuteness rather than sexiness, which is clumsily imitating sexiness. However, it is used as a cute feeling rather than a negative feeling. The difference between hard-boiled and half-boiled .
In a previous broadcast, the performers said they were sexy to a member of a girl group who was a minor. At that time, Kim Gu- ra pointed out that she was 'sexy' and said that in our language, she was saying that she 'feels sexual desire', and she is scorned by the performers. She wasn't wrong because she explained, 'It's okay if you do it in English, and I said something that you wouldn't be able to say to minors if you translate it into Korean.'

United States and other countries, if you tell a minor that they are sexy even as a joke, they will not only be buried in society, but may also be severely assaulted or shot . This is because the Western world is open to adult sexual culture, but is very strict about pedophilia .
