Answer 1

I actually saw a video several days ago on what facial features are considered beautiful in Korea. The show interviewed and polled various people including the people who were getting plastic surgery as far as into their surgery rooms. The show emphasized how the world today is changing its perspective on beauty and how Asian women are getting praised for their looks. It also emphasized, however, that in contrast Koreans tend to look for facial features that don't really pertain to actual Korean faces. That's why many Koreans turn to plastic surgery. It also made comparisons to beautiful celebrities that people want to look like. The show visualized the preferable facial features that Koreans want:
oval face, slightly angulared chin, double-eyelid eyes, & high nose.
Some very beautiful Korean women such as actress Song Hye Gyo is not that tall, but still participate in famous fashion shows. Many people prefer Korean women to have long straight black hair, but trends are changing these days; sexy singer Yi Hyo Ri can change her hairstyle from long layered light-brown hair to short & curley one day. Many Koreans love to tan as well & want to look 'healthy.' Most Koreans have dark brown eyes except for actress Yi Young Ae who has very clear-cut brown eyes, so people tend to ask her if she's wearing contacts because she naturally has very beautiful eyes. - These factors that I just mentioned changes.

Answer 2

Round eyes, thin body, light skin coloured that looks like silk, hair that is bright and shiny.

Basically you need to look like a super model if you want to be considered beautiful in Korea. Outwards appears means so much here.

Answer 3

The are very skinny in Korea! A (US) size 2 or 4 would be considered "really big" in Korea.

Also, a piece of history... being light skinned (and not tan) was considered higher status in the old days. Because if you were tan you were probably in the fields working. So women would cover up head to toe to try to stay lighter.

Answer 4

The Koreans consider the size of the face to be a determination of beauty.

I am sorry I was not clear, many girls think that a small face is prettier. Personally I don't care.

Answer 5

1. Slim
2. Fair skinned
3. High nose
4. Good teeth
5. Double eyelids
6. Larger breasts than average
7. If you have blue or green eyes, Koreans really like it.

Answer 6

a korean friend of mine said, these qualities are considered beautiful in korea:

1)small face
2)slighty bigger eyes (double slit)
3)slim
4)fair

i think that's about it though..^^ that is just a general understanding..maybe to indivual's, they have different views on what is beautiful..like the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...^^

Answer 7

I agree with sgrag3003, while adding smaller than average face to the list.

For men to date the aforementioned women:

1) Big money

Answer 8

Many Koreans have slightly larger heads and a normal size one is a good feature. Light skin is another positive. A slim figure, larger than normal breasts and larger eyes are all positives.

Answer 9

They all have straight black hair and brown eyes. Their skin is very light brown. It's not at all like the USA, where there are different sorts of people. High school girls have to wear uniforms and keep their hair reasonably short. Personally I think uniforms are a good idea so you don't have a fashion show based on your parents' income. When women get to be about 45 years old, they all start curling their hair. Age is highly respected in Korea, so they consider that important.

A pretty face is a pretty face in anybody's language. Some Korean faces are more attractive than others, but I have never seen an ugly Korean face. I have seen fat Koreans and old Koreans with bad teeth, but I have never seen an ugly Korean face. The only place you will ever see an ugly face in Korea is in Itaewan, the foreign district in Seoul. It's only about 95% Koreans there, which is as foreign as it gets, but look around and you'll see ugly Americans.

Answer 10

light skinned, double eyelids, small face, long slender body, long hair, flawless complexion, pointy,slender nose, big ultra white teeth
