Koh Ara is only 17

0810-korara.jpg

Why is this number so special? Well, 17 refers to the age of Hazel-eyed model/actress Koh A-ra(17) as well as the length of her face! So you are probably asking - what’s the deal with having a small face. Well, everything! Having a small face is one prerequisites of beauty in this country - check out all the stars, most have small faces. Small face size is something that is difficult to attain unless you are born with it or have undergone painful jaw reduction surgery (for a rounder/heart-shaped face). So many people talk about face size and compare their size with everyone else’s- including stars. They are fascinated by those who are both beautiful and those who have small faces (the beautiful are assumed to have small faces). Perhaps the small-face phenomenon is a direct result of the stars from the western world having smaller faces. Similarly, the near national obsession with plastic surgery is for the purpose of attaining more western features - larger nose, bigger eyes, and slimmer face. West is not always best. Why can’t we just accept ourselves the way we are?

Where’s Moon Geun Young?

0701-moon-geun-young-looks-younger-resize.jpg
Can you find Korea’s little sister Moon Geun Young in the picture? She’s the one in the middle with the super duper short hair and a pleasant smile. With her new hairdo, she looks as young as those elementary kids in the picture, but I like it. I’m so glad that our little sis came to her senses and realized that her attempts of looking sexy won’t get her anywhere because she looks best the way she is now.

*The picture was taken with kids from End of Land Children Center (땅끝아동센터) when Moon Geun Young donated 3 million won to their foundation. Did you know that Moon donated over 1 billion won (US$1 million) during her career?

Welcome to the 90s Part I: Funky Hairdos

0518-back-in-the-days.jpg
If you need a good laugh to start off your week on a good note, just take a look at the out-dated and scary hairdos from the 90s. Obviously the big lion hairs parted down the middle was in for both genders, making some of us embarrassed to admit that we adored some of these stars back then. Fortunately for all of us, the hairspray and moose enhanced hairdos are long gone. Thank God!

Check out Yun Eun Hye’s new haircut!

To prepare for her role in Coffee Prince, Yun Eun Hye chopped of her hair and waved it. But her new cut sort of reminds me of the popular ajumma hairstyle that is seen on every street corner in Korea. Hmm..perhaps it’s because of the angle or the fact that she’s not smiling. What do ya think?
