I remember watching a video of it but i can’t remember which show they were on >_<

Ok. 172? That’s about 5cm padding added to his internet profile. I wouldn’t put him over 165. It’s embarrassing to say, but my first sentence in Korea was, “Lee Min Woo is handsome.” I’m dead serious. Granted, that was a reeealy long time ago. Eventhough my first k-pop love was Lee Min Woo, I’ve since moved on to more exciting, ahem taller K-stars. After seeing him on many variety programs, I’d have to say that the comment about him being greasy wasn’t too far off if you directly translate from Korean. You could even call him the butter (or grease, the less tactful version) king (but I think that title was given to Sung Shi Kyung a long time ago…).

Sorry that I’ve misused the word ‘greasy’ here as English isn’t my native language. Thanks Javabeans and Gramps for the information. I’ve searched google for examples of the word ‘greasy’ used to describe people and here are some of them.

“Unlike Orlando, Moe was apparently somewhat of a reprobate who, at the tender age of 19, left home to seek his fortune in Italy. The story unfolds that Moe eventually settled in Vaselino, a small town on the island of Sicily, where he became a rather greasy character.” – Convocation address by Dr. Donald F. Cook (http://www.mun.ca/president/99-00report/honor/honorary_cook.html)

“His dancing was spectacular, as was his acting; he jumped into a deep plié and then effortlessly leapt up again, while, with the tilt of his head and twist of his shoulders, keeping the wheedling, greasy character alive.” – In “New Chestnuts and Pirate Ships” by Mary Cargill (1998), Danceview (Washington, D.C.) (http://www.danceview.org/reviews/ABT/abt98.htm)

“In Czechoslovakia it is enough to speak English on a train to have some greasy character sidling up to you with a hard luck story.” – In “Radical Making and Unmaking – The Early Careers of Stephen Murray-Smith and Ken Gott” by John McLaren, The La Trobe Journal, No. 63, Autumn 1999 (http://calisto.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-63/t1-g-t4.html)

“I was nineteen, a mere child, an infant, and here in the space of five minutes I’d struck down one greasy character and blundered into the waterlogged carcass of a second…” – “Boyle’s ‘Greasy Lake’ and the moral failure of postmodernism – T. Coraghessan Boyle”, Studies in Short Fiction (Spring, 1994) by Michael Walker (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2455/is_n2_v31/ai_15557254/pg_5)

Oh my, so what my lovelies up there are referring to as ‘greasy’ I personally very proudly interpret as damn sexy, go figure we can’t all be tickled by the same feather folks. I encountered the term twice here and quite literally cried my ass off from laughing. Heck it still tickles me.

javabeans, thank-you for the clarification and to Gramps for the extensive slang/word, (literal and metaphorical) detailing of, the evolution of; all things ‘greasy’.
