    You forgot BoA -.- Even though yeah, there’s always speculation that she’s plastic, is’t obvious from photos of her growing up that she has not gone under the knife.

    i tink jun jihyun is the best natural beauty..
    ohh.. falling in love with her~

  9. 10 Hana January 11, 2009 at 2:02 pm

    Okay, for those who are saying jun ji-hyun isn’t natural…If you find pictures of her now, facing straight on, she actually does look the same as she does in her highschool picture.

    Plus, a lot of stars have anti-fans who put up fake pictures to “prove” they have had plastic surgery.

    The thing is, people change as they age, so you can’t say just because someone looks different from the way they did as a child, they have had plastic surgery. Some get prettier, others, uglier.

    I also heard eyes get bigger as you age (my mother’s korean, and she wasn’t born with double-eyelids, but by the loss of baby-fat and because as you grow older your looks change, she has them now. [Trust me, no surgery, the same thing's happening to me])

    And korean women, on average, have higher, more defined nose bridges compared to other asian groups, so you can’t say just because they have a “western nose” they have had plastic surgery. That’s undermining the korean race (I absolutely abhor it when people find an attractive asian [*cough* korean] woman and automatically assume she’s had plastic surgery). Just because they’re korean, doesn’t mean they’re (we’re) all born ugly…

    But yes, plastic surgery IS common (7/10 highschool girls in south korea get at least 1 surgery done, on average), afterall, 25% of koreans are not born with double-eyelids. And yes, it’s also true that someone might have had work done on their face, but no one can tell because it’s so subtle (slight shaving done of the jawbone, slight raising of the nose bridge; that’s why there were rumours of Song Hye-kyo having had plastic surgery [check her out in 'Autumn in my Heart', then 'Fullhouse']).

    The truth is, though, we can never truly know someone’s had platic surgery unless they admit it (my friend claims stars can photoshop their childhood photos and put them up to prove they are natural…*shrugs* who knows…)

    Sorry for the extremely long speech (it’s my version of a rant).

      oh I can totally relate!
      Everytime certain people see me, they ask if I had a nose and eye job or if I’m half white! Just because I have a fairly narrow and defined nose, straight eyebrows or deep double eyelids(they’re like European eyelids but not as thick), they assume jackass ideas. My face still harmonizes with everything else there, if it didn’t, then its obvious I got some work done.

  15. 18 meijinyuki June 27, 2009 at 12:50 am

    well…undergoing a plastic surgery is not something to be ashamed of especially it is becoming a trend today…but still…being natural is still the best…even if you look better when you change your look….it still better to be proud of oneself…hmmmmm…..as i remember a line from hana yori dango live…makino said…is it wrong to buy beauty??? lol….just be careful….

  16. 19 meijinyuki June 27, 2009 at 12:52 am

    QUESTION….

    i just noticed seeing high school(?) pictures of korean stars especially girls….they have this same style of hair cut…is it required in them to have this haircut?

  17. 21 ghia July 12, 2009 at 2:19 pm

  18. 22 Lalala July 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Jun Ji Hyun is very pretty. <3 I think I have a girl-crush on her. .-.

  19. 23 ching2x July 20, 2009 at 3:05 pm

    Kim Tae Hee indeed has natural beauty.She is totally very pretty……..She is the prettiest korean actress I’ve ever seen!…….Her beauty can be equate to a porcelain doll because she has a very fair skin, a very well shaped face and not to mention her elegance.

    ALLURING, FASCINATING, GORGEOUS, PRETTY,AND
    ELEGANT.Perhaps these words are perfectly suit to describe Kim Tae Hee.

  20. 24 dodo August 6, 2009 at 7:27 pm

    i think the only natural korean actresses who are considered as BEAUTIES are Gianna Jun and Han Ji Hye. And seriously, no plastic beauties (and that include those who do eyelids) can beat Gianna jun. Her beauty is RARE and REAL. You can find pretty plastic girls, and it’s common. You can find pretty natural girls, and it’s common. But you almost cannot find pretty natural girl and rare one as well. Giana Jun is naturally beautiful and hot and real! :)

    kim tae hee is so gorgeus..

  25. 30 wow October 21, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    Korean actress are pretty, but I’m surprised that most of Korean girls love to have a plastic surgery… In this case, I like the Japanese more, some of their actress aren’t pretty, just so so… but they can be very attractive in their own way…pretty isn’t always everything, though I love Kim Tae Hee…:)

  26. 31 ghiezel October 30, 2009 at 3:15 pm

    Lots of korean actress are pretty. The likes of song hye kyo and i believe her beauty is natural !!! Lee young ae also,so pretty !!! Shes look like marian rivera of the philippines .. they are both pretty I swear. Kim tae hee ofcourse .. Please include han ga in shes also a pretty one. and a lot more … but I like liu yifei of china more because Shes really really prety ..
    . . . I love them all!!!!!!!!!!
