Short legs unite!

20080812_legs_boa

Miracles are performed by photoshop everyday! Today, I do not feel so bad with my stumpy legs because I know that I am not alone.

Check out Boa’s short stumps (above).

A heavy hand was used on the photoshop for Eva. Just imagine seeing the enhanced version and then looking at the real stumps (right). Eva, just be happy with the moos that you got.

Hyori’s thighs always looked suspiciously thin. Again, good to see some meat on those thighs. Just means the pop princess is like the rest of us.

Can this be for real? Jun Ji-hyun is known for her long limbs and sexy moves, but this just proves that even seemingly perfect looking girls need some digital help too.

And the same applies to Yun Eun-hye? her incredibly long legs just didn’t seem real.

    lolz @ jake

    really idk BOA was that short, I was under the impression she was like 5′3 or something.

    ah.. the power of technology

    compared to straight cut, flared jeans really give that long legs look that’s why it’s most recommended for short-legged people….

  4. 4 E.C August 12, 2008 at 11:27 am

    So what if BoA’s legs are short?
    During her Levi’s promotion era, her legs were short, but slender and ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
    It’s true they over-photshopped it, but she really was skinny back then.

    As for Yoon Eun Hye, her legs aren’t short, but they aren’t that slender.

    The comparison picture for YEH is not even taken from the same angle. Geez Popseoul, use some common sense will yah!

    And i dont know why you’re so obsessed with this whole photoshopping/airbrushing topic. I’ve got news for you. All of those celebrities gets are airbrushed in ads.

    But airbrushed or not, their legs are better in real life than at least 80% of you bimbos

    waah. photoshop does wonders on legs too!
    damn. eva’s legs in the right picture are not flattering. kinda sorta cottage-y.

  7. 8 marcel August 12, 2008 at 1:59 pm

    there’s no need for so much hate up in here -_- this all just proves that celebrities are human like the rest of us & besides they wouldn’t be korean w/o the short-darees

  8. 9 Dovey August 12, 2008 at 2:06 pm

    No offense, but BoA looks like a little kid in the pic to the right.

  9. 10 Megan August 12, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    BTW. BoA’s pants in the right picture is not sagging. It’s just baggy.

  10. 11 Kimhana August 12, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    And the topic for today is…you get it right, Shorties!!!!!

    LMAO, BOA has the shortest legs out of them all!!!don’t eat too much fatties, Boa, you’ll get UGLY!!!

  11. 12 JJ August 12, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    Can’t really speak for the others (lmao @ Hyori) but I don’t think YEH actually got that much PS done on her. It’s just the angle and the lighting.

  12. 13 Magda August 12, 2008 at 3:01 pm

    I am sure photoshop and high heels help a lot. Of course when you wear heels and long pants your legs will appear much longer – common sense!

  13. 14 evvy August 12, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    They still have long legs, though. In comparison to average humankind.

  14. 15 ne August 12, 2008 at 4:38 pm

    i can’t say for the rest. but boa is already short and she’s proportionate so i don’t think her legs look stumpy. that is, when she reveals her legs. the photo up there shows her wearing ugly baggy jeans..which makes it look stumpy.

  15. 16 han August 12, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    hohoho I always knew it btw I’m happy with my pairs

  16. 17 ♥이시아~ August 12, 2008 at 9:34 pm

    there’s something on Jun Ji Hyun’s legs.. some kind of marks. HAHA. anyway, lee hyori is still beautiful inspite of having short legs. She’s got the body.~

  17. 18 Tinytintin August 12, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    OMG! Everything is photoshop-ed nowadays! Tskkkk.

  18. 19 Song August 12, 2008 at 10:28 pm

    their legs sure do look long, scary, their like alien legs and arms. long and wavy.

  19. 20 tvxqhwaitin August 12, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    its quite obvious that hyori’s photos are always photoshopped. she always looks damn skinny in photos but she’s aint that thin

  20. 21 avionne August 12, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Oh Wow..I’m telling you boy..photoshop can do amazing things to a person’s body…And just for the record there is nothing wrong with being short.

    ehh boa was always kind of fugs to me, and her music is blah. she’s always in japan anyway, so she doesn’t even really qualify as ‘news’. anyway, it’s common knowledge that photoshop/airbrushing/touch-ups are used on all published photographs, not just in Korea.

  22. 23 0angel0 August 13, 2008 at 2:13 am

    ermmm let me give a case in point:

    I saw Fann Wong (from Singapore) a few times, and she’s damn tall, about 1.74m…. and EXTREMELY skinny – half my size with legs like TWIGs – her thigh circumference is about 20cm (she was wearing shorts, and I compared with my arms – boohooo)

    However, in an american magazine sometime back (when she filmed shanghai knights), the magazine took a pic that made her thighs look like elephants – it was definitly cos she was lying down, the angle was from the bottom and the lighting….

    so it’s really hard to say, i guess u will have to watch their concerts/ live shows before we can say. Boa – she really has moos, that I can say, same for Koda Kumi…

    oooo and gossip of the day: Jang Hyuk is SHORT. He acted in Dance of the Dragon with Fann Wong (he was supposed to be taller than Fann, see his biodata), but when I saw them at Forbidden City…… I would say he is 1.7m MAX, if not less. If you have watched the film, you will notice there are only headshots of the two of them, no full body shots when they are standing next to each other. And when they are dancing, all you see are dips and NO foot work. Don’t believe me? Check out the group picture of JangHyuk, Kwang Sang Woo, SSH, Cha Tae Hyun etc – you will realise there is no way Jang Hyuk is only a little shorter than KSW & SSH

  23. 24 Angel August 13, 2008 at 2:47 am

    awwww BoA looks so cute xD
    heels and sliming jeans definitely help my legs look longer, it’s all part of what helps in pictures.
    i agree with this Short Legs Unite!!!
    lol

  24. 25 maaya August 13, 2008 at 4:32 am

    it’s not always photoshop, people can look taller from certain camera angles.

  25. 26 Tiffany August 13, 2008 at 5:20 am

    The best way to tell whether someone has done something to their pictures? Watch them in videos and you can tell how they really look =P

  26. 27 Liish August 13, 2008 at 6:12 am

    boa looks cute and sportive ^^

  27. 28 tangy August 13, 2008 at 9:41 am

    this make me feel so much better about my height….haha
    especially the Yun Eun-hye one

  28. 29 janna August 13, 2008 at 11:36 am

    whoa….
    my eyes have been opened up to way different perspectives…
    i guess the world isn’t really what it seems to be.

    for slightly more expensive short girl jeans, the Joe’s Jeans Provocateur have a 29-30 inch inseam so if you have anywhere from a 28 to 30 inseam, and your waist is 25-28 you can wear it with heels and it will fit almost perfectly. One pair will last you a lifetime

  30. 31 jicks August 13, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    Photoshop works wonders but there’s no denying that these girlies are still gorgeous, digital touch-up or not.

    I want JJH’s legs before &/or after PS, I don’t caaaaaare ><!

  31. 32 Tobiasu August 13, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    BoA can take me to church and say yes anyday. Anyday.

  32. 33 Saging August 14, 2008 at 12:33 pm

    Boa’s legs are so cute!

  33. 34 s0ysauce August 14, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    YES! SHORT LEGS UNITE!! I’m freakin happy now. Hehe. Thank goodness mines dont look as bad as Boa’s though

  34. 35 jen August 14, 2008 at 9:51 pm

  35. 36 leeyana August 15, 2008 at 6:31 pm

  36. 37 sc August 16, 2008 at 10:33 am

  37. 38 iROCK&WHUT! August 20, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    wowz..now i dun feel so alone =D

  38. 39 snsd4life August 23, 2008 at 11:08 am

    i think that you chose really bad pics for the real picture…
    and you seem to be biased against some of the celebs… like you have something against them.. or you must be jealous. like how you judge how they dress and stuff. its likenot their fault….

  39. 40 ----- September 2, 2008 at 8:08 am

    0angel0 -

    this topic is super old but oh well.

    yeah fann is exacly my size [according to her profiles] except i might be a bit taller. i’m korean btw. from certain angles my legs look stumpy whereas in reality i can only grab skin on them. it’s just angles sometimes but photoshop helps to hide the truth

  40. 41 scarlet September 19, 2008 at 10:23 pm

    who cares if it’s photoshop or not.
    YEH is 5′7 tall…
    it’s tall na for a girl…
    and as you can she in Coffee Prince,
    just watch it…
    dee it for your self…

  41. 43 Silla June 13, 2009 at 2:51 am

    I don’t even think you know what short legs even are. Those aren’t short legs, they’re just proportioned to the torso. I’ve seen short legged long torsoed people in real life and those don’t even compare. Plus you’re using pictures that either don’t show the entire pictures, different angles or different clothes. Yeah, of course wearing baggy pants is gonna make your legs look short compared to when you wear bootcuts.

    hyori and yoon eun hye win soooooooooooooo hot
