- 65: Corresponds to the band size (the measurement around the torso, just under the bust). In many systems, this is measured in centimeters or sometimes inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). A 65 band size is on the smaller side, generally fitting someone with a ribcage measurement of about 32-33 inches.
- G: Refers to the cup size. The cup size is determined by the difference between the bust and band measurements. Each letter represents a progressively larger cup size.

Many K-Pop idols and celebrities, such as IU and Park Min-young, are known for their petite physiques and smaller breast sizes.

Average Cup Size: Most global studies, including those by True & Co, report the average cup size in South Korea as AA–A.
