New on the magazine scene, Shape Korea surveyed their readers (age 20’s – 30’s) to find out which celebrity body they would like to have. Runner up in 4th place was Han Eun-jung, 3rd place was Hyun young, 2nd place was given to covered up singer, Ivy and 1st place….drumroll please…. was the star of the hit movie, 200lb Beauty, Kim Ajoong.
Readers also revealed their ideal body type: 165~166cm height with 33-24-34 inch measurements. Holy, that’s tiny and tall. The proportions don’t sound ideal to me. In fact, it sounds too flat-a$$ skinny (excuse my french). A girl is gotta have some meat on her bones, if you know what I mean.*
(top: Kim Ajoong, left: Hyun Young, Ivy)
Ivy has a slammin’ body amongst the three.
5′5 is tall? Since when?
and if so, they’re gonna scream godzilla when i arrive in Seoul next week cuz I’m a really tall girl…. uh oh.
since all koreans are tiny tiny small. (at least most are. you see all the tall ones on tv.)
she has no kneecaps.
haha
who is han eun jung??? ㅋㅋㅋ
yess~ kim ajoong deserves to be on the top~ she’s sooo fit, geez i wouldnt mind having that type of body.. ackk~
now, i agree with this pol ^^
agree with you..she does have a bangin body..i loved her on Bizarre Bunch..
totally agree with popseoul…..a girl cant just be bones….i dont think theres a ONE ideal body….some people are born with a fuller figure and broader bone structure…like me! Ill never be a size 0 no matter how much i starve myself…[ive never tried dont worry!]
x
where’s hyori?
but i love kim a joong too
ivy has some nice curves
yup, where is hyori?
she has the best body.
wow…her uh, ‘knees’ make her look like she has plastic barbie doll legs. interesting airbrushing, but a nice figure nonetheless.
Kim Ajoong does have a nice body.
BoA has a nice body too, although she’s a lil short.
If 165~166 cm is “tall”, then I guess I am? >_> NO way. xD
jeez that’s some major airbrushing esp on her legs
i like Kim Ajoong, she seems to be a sweet and sincere person… as well as beautiful.
i agree with the shape. damn those measurements are like impossible no!?
kim ajoong has a nice physique but i cant say the same about her face.
where the hell did her kneecaps go? =0
I’m guessing the readers of shape korea are envious of Jun Jihyun because their mates like her. They are good choices but
Jun is and always will be the standard bearer of beauty.
I thought 165 is tall b/c the average height in Korea is 160cm and I am short myself….
yea…I don’t really care for kim ajoong’s face, but its a heck of a lot better than her pre-surgery grill.
did kim ah joong really have surgery?
joyce- yes, the girl got some major work done
they’re more skinny than sexy..
does anyone have a link to where can we find pre surgery pics of gorgeous Kim Ajoong?
scotty – it’s somewhere on my harddrive…i’ll post them up soon
really she had work done? for some reason i’m really really curious *giggles*
165cm tall? ideal figure of 33-24-34? woah, if that’s the case then i can make it to the next issue of shape korea. wahaha. i didn’t know being thin as a beanpole is in in korea. i get a lot of flaks for being thin but i guess if i go to korea, i’ll be revered. haha tt’s a funny idea.
hahahahah I’m a 5′6 korean and black girl I’m considered average height, but in reality these days I’m really short compared to the ppl in my surroundings. Hearing that makes me happy, but not that thin that’s just a little to skinny. Also I luv Ajoong and Hyun Young’s is absolutely funny. Even when she plays a bad character I can’t really get mad at her. Her voice is what makes it funnier, but I like her voice I’m not making fun, its an orginal hehe
5′5 only.. it would be better if 5′7… here in the philippines, the ideal body type is 5′7 in height with 36-24-36 measurements…
@anna
I am 5′7 and 39-26-37. Is it OK in Philippine?
what ? More meat ? You can see an asian even skinner than that. That’s totally fine.
she has the nicest body ever… she’s simply gorgeous..
kim ajoong scares the hell out of me…… yet i want her body. *jealous*
KAJ…..so saxy…. YOU R SO HOT KIM AH JOONG… GOD i love her..
if you are a celebrity in korea you are bound to have a killer body… so these surveys are more about the celebrity themselve… except for park kyung lim and jo ju rim, name one korean actress that doesn’t have hot body… name 1
POPSEOUL

Glad you realize it.
What else could you expect from an asian chick? Mika Tan is the perfect asian girl…
Since when was 5′4″ to 5′5″ tall? Korean women are probably being generous to their men. Can’t be towering over them now can they? what if they ran into my 5′8″ self. Must think I’m like a giantess huh? esp since I adore my heels.
i love hyun young she is just simply hilarious and too CUTE!
<3
“Readers also revealed their ideal body type: 165~166cm height with 33-24-34 inch measurements.”
Holy crap! that IS skinny! People have always called me “anorexic” and “too skinny” (never guys, just chicks) although, i am pretty tall.
I’m just south of 6 foot (lil over 5′11″) and i’m not afraid of sharing my measurements since this is anonymous ^-^
bust: 38
waist: 25 (before lunch ^.~ lol)
hips: 41 (my hips aren’t really big it’s just my bottom >.<)
Just in case you guys are wondering what i am i’m mixed black/white (more specifically irish/jamaican)
in India it is 5′8 height and 36 24 36 is the ideal body type
dang, im korean and im 178cm. and i am not skinny…just normal..LOL:]
i must be a GIANT to yall people in korea LMAO
O____O
24 is really skiny.
Can a REAL woman have size 24??
Personally, I think it’s not possible..
I’m from Holland and the normal size over here is like 30 or something.
We (in Holland) are very broad (and have thick muscles ^.^).
So I’m not complaining with my 29..
I’m not fat, am I??
“….revealed their ideal body type: 165~166cm height with 33-24-34 inch”
ideal?????
Korea’s image of beauty is so distorted.
165-166cm is 5′6″ and to the girls who are 178cm…even in ?North America that’s tall for a woman (wtf? 5′11″?! Tell me what you eat!*jealous*)
And a 24-inch waist is possible (it’s a size 4 in Canada).
Yes, it’s too thin in my opinion, but ideal body types differ everywhere.
lmao. that’s weird…
i’m caucasian and i am seriously exactly those stats:
5′5 (165cm) and my measurements are 33-24-34 LOL!!!
but really i feel most asians are a lot thinner than me and i always feel fat around them… lol
whoa. if 33-24-34 is the average for korean, i must be small.
i’m like 5′3. 31-24-32. STILL GROWING THOUGH. DON’T WORRY. (:
Homo ???
is there any 36-24-36 here? hehe. just curious.
