Tips to Remember:
• Think of “비만” as “bi-man” – you can imagine a “bi” (two) man who’s carrying too much weight, reminding you that it's related to excess body weight.
• Associate “비” with “beyond” and “만” with “enough/full” – together they hint at having more than enough weight.

Explanation:
• 비만 (romanized: biman) means obesity in Korean, referring to an excessive accumulation of body fat that may impair health.
• It is used in medical and everyday contexts to describe someone who is significantly overweight.
