Rizz is said to be short for "charisma" and refers to one's style, charm, and attractiveness that can attract others, especially a romantic partner. If you have 'rizz', it means you can charm people with your charisma.
The Korean word that is the closest to the meaning of "rizz" is maeryeok (매력). Maeryeok means "charm" or "attractiveness" in Korean. It refers to the quality or characteristic in a person that attracts or captivates others. However, unlike 'rizz', 'maeryeok' is not exclusively used in a romantic context.
You can use 'maeryeok' in a sentence (informal) as follows:
그 사람 매력 있어.
Geu saram maeryeok isseo.
That person has rizz.

And a prevalent element that makes fans swoon harder for their favorite male leads is the height difference between them and their love interest. Quite similar to BLs today, an almost subtle but vital part of what makes their stories and scenes even more special and attractive is the height of the actors.
Many of the BL actors today are either models and/or idols as well. So, it is no surprise that many of the main leads have an amazing body proportion and towering presence.
With many of these actors posing as some of the tallest actors today, here are the tallest BL actors who are over 179cm tall.
