They are pretty tall, the tallest must be like, 220 maybe. I don't really know, i think the general opinion is that you should be a little above average, but if you get much above the average it's deemed unattractive, i think this is especially true for women. I don't care though, as i just stated though i have that weakness for short people :P
@bombfrompluto Yep, I've been called "Oppa" and "Hyung" myself several times in the past, but I didn't really know what they mean =P thanks for telling me.
I think Indonesian used to have very specific connotations like that, but nobody uses them anymore.
@Cakeofdoom
I had that when I went to Japan XD "Oh man I can see everyone's scalp!" is what I wrote in my diary.
They must be REALLY tall. Gigantic! Do people envy tall people though? In Korea, it's a pretty cool thing to be, taller than 170/180 for women/men.
@LouThunders
That is what I think too. Too awkward gender-neutral words are just taking it too far, I feel.
Also, really interesting many of these names don't distinguish gender! Korean is very specific in that aspect.
Unni - used when a woman is calling her elder sister
Nuna - man calling elder sister
Hyung - man calling elder brother
Oppa - woman calling elder brother
So on. :P It's the toughest part I suppose. Korean is quite...relative when it comes to names and titles.
