Gayspeak: 스탠 (athletic body type)

Maybe Choi Si Won is a little more than standard athleticism...
One of my readers sent me an e-mail the other day. He wrote:


I come across your blog every now and then. I have happen to know what the term 스탠 means? I see it sometimes on Grindr and Jackd, but I don't have too many gay korean friends, so I haven't been able to figure it out.

I hadn't come across this term before, so I asked a friend for some help. 스탠 (seu-taen) is from the English word standard. It refers to an athletic type of body. Good to know. Plus, it gives us an excuse to look at cut Korean men.
