Pop-selca: Uhm Junghwa is fresh faced

Selca (pronounced, “sel-ka”) is the term created by netizens that refers to “self camera,” in other words, self portraits. And if you have been to Korea, you will know that Koreans are obsessed with taking pictures of themselves! Of course, celebrities are no exception.

Popselca is POPSEOUL’s new fun feature to introduce the world of celebrity sel-ca taking.

Here we have pop diva Uhm Jung-hwa showing a more natural side. The 30-something singer actually took picture of herself in the shower! Who does that?

Overall, her sel-ca attempt earns 2.5 out of 5 stars for the shower picture.

    Who the hell self cams when they’re taking a shower?
    When you’re with a SO in the shower, then I would understand.

    Not the best pictures.
    The best was the second one, bt then she isn’t fresh faced there. She’s wearing eyeliner.

    natural? her lips are collagen-ed out and i don’t even need to say anything about her heinous eyes because they speak for themselves. she’s changed so much over the years but i guess that’s what being a korean celebrity is about - cosmetic surgery.

    Asians age so beautifully! She’s got awesome skin!

    um.. of course their unflattering, people. She looks like she woke up. She’s at home where she doesn’t HAVE to look glamorous all the damn time. Geez get real. People should be look lucky that the timeless diva is showing her candid side. It’s called a minihompy. 8D

    In psychology, this sort of national obsession would be labeled as a disease.

  11. 11 Mel August 1, 2008 at 12:51 am

    @Taejus U ARE FUNNY!!

    I like how she looks in the first picture… the rest… not so much…

  12. 12 Observer August 1, 2008 at 12:53 am

    who in the world wants to selca when in the shower? *puzzled*

  13. 13 elle(TM) August 1, 2008 at 1:47 am

    Koreans are no different than anyone else. EVERYBODY loves to take pics of themselves…just look at myspace lol

  14. 14 Anniebannie August 1, 2008 at 2:14 am

    She looks like she’s on something in the last two pictures.

  15. 15 Su August 1, 2008 at 2:29 am

    Koreans take too many pioctures of themselves because too much surgery too much makeup too many cameras and too much internet access.

  16. 16 vinh August 1, 2008 at 2:30 am

    Popseoul: she not 30. She’s actually 40 years old.

  17. 17 asianromance August 1, 2008 at 2:47 am

    she looks pretty good for an almost-40 year old. her last two pictures aren’t that great. weird as it is- the shower pic looks the best- makes her look younger.

  18. 18 Di August 1, 2008 at 3:18 am

    Aww she looks like a cute lil boy in that last picture. XD

  19. 19 liz August 1, 2008 at 3:35 am

    I guess she should be proud of her face/look, especially after all the work that’s been done!

  20. 20 lev August 1, 2008 at 3:53 am

    I’m looking forward to more of these selcas.

    ^ She’s FOURTY?! O.O

  21. 21 astro August 1, 2008 at 4:12 am

    the 1st pic is worthy of astro-girl!!

  22. 22 8 August 1, 2008 at 4:32 am

    She’s 39 over here, and turning 40 next month.

  23. 23 noooo August 1, 2008 at 5:49 am

    i hate selca pics. the poses are so fake and annoying!

  24. 24 Ellie August 1, 2008 at 6:02 am

    She looks really good for a 39 year old! Her skin looks almost flawless! Damn!

  25. 25 valski August 1, 2008 at 7:45 am

    damn camwhores! jk.

    the shower pic is really cute. the last pic…her lips bug me.

  26. 26 hehehe August 1, 2008 at 8:40 am

    She has some new set of lips! She looked fine before…but not after this makeover! :( hahah

  27. 27 JO August 1, 2008 at 10:50 am

    OH please! Asians only take pictures of themselves?!
    Seriously, I see tons of teens posing and taking pics of themselves as well. Only in America they don’t have a name for is (Selca-etc)

  28. 28 TVXQBBLOVE August 1, 2008 at 11:16 am

    She looks great, the first one is too cute.

  29. 29 coolsmurffan August 2, 2008 at 1:05 pm

  30. 30 millie August 2, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    celebs really do look like someone else without their make ups on…

  31. 31 liz August 2, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    For a second, I thought that was Taemin(from ShiNEE) in the bottom pic… but then that’d be an insult to him(he’s much prettier). XD
