Turn me into an Ulzzang (얼짱)^^

23rd February, 2013 (9:37am)

Hey Everyone!

Lately, my friend and I have been obsessed with Ulzzangs. 

What is an Ulzzang (얼짱)?

 Ul 얼 (short for ulgul 얼굴 meaning face) and zzang 짱 ( abbreviation for good/ best).

It just basically means best face in Korean. 

Ulzzang is a net idol, having good/cute/innocent looks they are popular on the net. Some even become models, actor/actresses and go into the k-pop world. This craze started in Korea, later spreading across Asia as well as some regions in Europe and America.

Features of an Ulzzang

I mean, it really depends on the person but a typical look would be:

- Big rounded eyes

- Light/ Pale skin

- High nose bridge

- V line face

- Double eyelids

- Long eyelashes

- Small pink lips

( Wait.. this just sounds like the normal beauty standards of korea -.-)

Some even go through several cosmetic surgeries just to have the ulzzang look. But for those who do not want to undergo surgery, makeup, accessories and photoshop(not everyone uses photoshop!) is needed. 

(Haha sorry.. Just noticed. Most of the pictures the people are hiding their lips)

Did I mention.. fashion and cute poses are also an important factor?

There's even a program about Ulzzangs.

Ulzzang Shidae (얼짱 시대) which just means Ulzzang generation.

Although it seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing a similar post to this, I just sincerely wanted to wish you all a happy lunar year or Chinese new year. The days fly by really quickly.. So, make memories out of the moments, even simple ones because that's the most important treasure that you'll own and appreciate for many, many years. And trust me it does and it has changed my life on how I think and act.

(14) Horse action:
still and quiet/nibbling grass - your partner is a very homely and humble person.
running about - your partner is a wild type person.

This the last but most important part of the test.
From how I ended
the story... a tornado approaches...
What are you going do? There are only 3
options:
(i) run and hide in the box?
(ii) run and hide under the bridge?
(iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

What will you choose?
Now, the above is signified by these things:
tornado - problems in your life
box - you
bridge - your friends
horse - your partner

(i) So if you choose the box, you keep your problems to yourself whenever you are met with problems.
(ii) or if you choose the bridge, you will go to your friends whenever you are met problems.
(iii)or lastly if you choose the horse, you seek your partner whenever your partner whenever you are met with problems.
