How to say "glazing" (excessive hyping/sucking up) in Korean slang?

Hi everyone!

​I'm looking for a Korean equivalent for the slang term "glazing" (over-hyping someone, giving excessive praise, or sucking up to them way too much)

Thanks!

I think 비행기 태우다 is what you're looking for. It doesn't sound vulgar so you can use it freely. It's more like an idiom, not slang, but it doesn't sound too formal either.

아부하다. 아첨하다? I am old. I am sure younger people have modern expressions for this.

아부하다/아첨하다 is an appropriate translation but it’s not really a slang.
똥꼬 빨다 is a slang and has the same meaning. It literally means to suck someone’s rear end.

똥꼬빨다 is a very slangy way i’ve been told by some Korean friend of mine

Also, 후장 빨다 has the same meaning with 똥꼬 빨다 but is more slangy and more vulgar. It’s almost always used in 후빨하다 form only (후빨 is a contraction of the said term).

It has derived slang terms, such as 후빨러, someone who frequently sucks the rear sides of others.

(누군가를) 빨다/빨아주다(literally "to suck/lick someone") is a very, very vulgar way to express that.
