You would think that magazines in Korean in Korea would feature Korean celebrities on its covers. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Most are foreign models and very few Korean stars. And you wonder why people in this country are striving to look more “western.”
Anyhoo. Just had to let that out.
For March 2008, Wild-haired Park Ji-yoon graces the cover of (Japanese-based) fashion magazine, An An. Girl looks fabulous with the crazy hair and simple outfits.
The singer turned actress stars in the SBS drama, Bichunmo and will make a comeback as singer in April 2008 after 4 years.

Selca tips from 2 Park Ji-yoons
she needs to fix her posture. it’s so not sexy.
She looks pretty.
First
I agree with d; the first picture is truly not sexy.
The rest are pretty nice.
is that facial expression her signature? anyways, she looks the same as 10 years ago, not a bad thing.
WAT DA HECK.
Gosh..
Im never gna be firsttt.
Oh well XD
only nice legs..
i wish she would comeback as a singer. im curious to what she would do.
^^^I’m curious too. Music comeback!
looks tired.. kinda wicthy witch..
just add some broom. and shes ready to fly….lol
And if Koreans don’t respect themselves, how can they expect anyone else to respect them? There’s a major image issue among Koreans and one only needs to look at their celebrities to see the proof.
is it just me or does her horrible posture bother anyone else? why would they put that as the cover? ick
oh, so that’s why it’s a BIG DEAL for them for them to make it on the covers of mags.. that is just so… weird.. but then if i were a magazine publisher why would i want a plastic-enhanced celebrity to be the cover of my magazine..
That does not look nice….her back is slumped….posture isn’t so good…but i will look forward to the music!
Are you sure that Korean magazines feature Western celebrities as their front cover? Because, every time I go to a Korean place in the states with Korean fashion mags, the front cover has always been an Asian woman.
And, seriously… there are a lot of naturally beautiful Korean girls. I seriously think that some people just see a pretty Asian girl and just assume she’s plastic just because she’s Asian and pretty.
Personally, I’ve had a lot of Asian friends who were very pretty from a very young age.
A lot of you people are really really critical. I highly doubt that most of the readers can even come close to looking like these Korean celebrities even WITH tons of plastic surgery.
woo-hoo
Big hair and short skirt…. yum yum!
one more thing. It’s really naive to think that Western celebrities are more natural than Koreans.
Seriously…American people don’t focus as much on whether celebrities have had surgery or not. Pull up old pics of Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton, Fergie, or even Angelina Jolie.. Almost all celebrities have changed things about their face. It’s because that is part of the business of being in show business and it’s so cheap and tempting for them. Duh.
yeah i agree with the first comment… d
she needs to def. need help with the pose cuz she look like she has a hump back. not sexy.. but she’s pretty with nice legs
she’s looking good~~ she should model more often.
I love the way her hair is the biggest thing on her…. although I’m not entirely sold on the clothes she’s wearing (accentuates her skinniness, which I don’t think is particularly good or bad) and her bad posture reminds me a nicole miller campaign a few yrs ago….
my mom hated that ad campaign w/ the bad posture – she went on about how it made the (white) model’s face look huge, compared to her stick body.
Beyonce and Tyra never had surgery I know because I already checked. Jolie had the tip of her nose done and Paris looked the same way she did when she was younger. Everybody knows americans celebrities get surgery but not to the point they are seriously made of plastic or you can tell they even got anything done.
BTW i love her posture its very “high fashion” The slumped back and everything… This is not suppose to be sexy.
I have yet to seen any foreign models on Korean magazines.
Dumpling,
why are you assuming koreans aren’t respecting themselves just b/c they’ll have a western celebrity on the front? It just means they value other cultures highly as well. It has nothing to do with some kind of personal complex.
beyonce and jolie both had surgery on their noses.
But I’d also say, they’ve had the best jobs done out of hollywood….
Korea just won Ford Supermodel of The World…. Give them some credit!!!
And almost every girl in Hollywood have some sort of plastic surgery done to them, whether it’s the nose, the boobs, or the azzzzzz. And some of them just don’t want to age gracefully..
yah.. i agree with everyone saying that a lot of people in hollywood has already something done..that kind of trend has already been happening since the era of marilyn monroe(she also had a lot of things done to her face by the way)
She so does not look good in that magazine at all! She has to fix her pose.
I… I want to hate it, but I don’t.
she looks soo good!
Oh, it’s the smae magazine where Yamapi was… ^O_O^
wow, she’s the only korean celeb i’ve seen on a magazine cover that’s actually CLOSE TO LOOKING LIKE A REAL MODEL. but still, those clothes are SO drab.
Nice natural look and the big hair fits her. Anyway, what’s ‘westernized’ anymore, the modern culture is constantly changing and evolving, welcome to the age of globalization. It’s good exposure for her to be on any magazine covers really.
ohhh… looking forward to this… i love her song “adult ceremony”, i hope she will get to do a collab with gorilla man…
lol i saw a interview of JYP and he referred himself as “sexy gorilla”.. who in the world thinks he is sexy?? lol.. thats wrong
fix that posture girl… its not sexy, nor cute… she doesn`t do that in 1 but 2 pictures…
hope you come back with stuff like “adult ceremony”.. cut that was a crazy beat..
you awesome at singing girl you are bright too!
