Why Koreans care

추구미 (chugumi, desired aesthetic) is a coinage shortened from 추구하는 미 (chuguhaneun mi, the beauty one pursues). BAE defines it as the ideal image, style, or atmosphere someone holds in mind—even suggesting that people often pursue qualities they feel they lack.

In the Korean comments

One comment turns BAE’s pocket metaphor into a physical challenge, reading in translation: “Let’s see... If I look hard enough, there must be a pocket that’s 170 long... I will definitely find it.” The joke answers people who ask what pocket could possibly hold her by insisting that the right oversized pocket exists.

What the words mean

망언 (mangeon) literally means a reckless or absurd remark, but here it is affectionate exaggeration rather than a serious accusation. A commenter uses it to protest BAE saying she does not think she is cute: in effect, “How can you say something so ridiculous?”
