Fair skin is a MUST in
Values of Beauty In Korean Society
Many Koreans (especially the younger generation) think that a good appearance plays an important role in success. For example, many people believe the prettier and more handsome their resume photo, the more likely they'll land the job.
In Korea, it is ideal for a woman to have slim features. A slim waist, thin hips and petite body are ideal. In regards to facial features, Korean women want a small petite fairy like face with double eyelids, while in the Western world, women want a thin nose with plump lips and doe like eyes.
Korean beauty standards prioritize a slim figure, small face, v-shaped jaw, pale skin, straight eyebrows, flawless skin, and larger eyes.
Preferred height for women in South Korea 2019
According to a survey conducted in 2019 by Ipsos on global attitudes toward beauty, around 58 percent of South Korean respondents stated that they preferred women to be between 5 feet 5 inches (around 165cm) to 5 feet 9 inches (around 175cm) tall.
Additionally, Lisa is 166.5cm (5'5.5") tall, meaning she is above the average height. Her features are mostly in line with Western or Southeast Asian beauty standards. She has a square-shaped jaw, a short nose bridge, and slightly tanned skin. Lisa also has slightly arched eyebrows and a wide nose.
Jisoo has the perfect face according to the South Korean beauty standard especially because of her overall heart shaped face and the shape of her cupid's box as well as her eyes.
Since ancient times, Koreans have only used natural, harsh-free ingredients for their skincare routines: green tea, “snail slime”, bamboo extracts, propolis, and honey are just some examples of the elements they used and have passed through generations.
Besides skincare, makeup is a beauty staple among Koreans. And as unusual as it may sound to some of us, it is common for Korean men to wear makeup in South Korea. For them, putting on makeup is as routine as how most women would groom themselves before leaving the house.
Many Koreans use a 'westernised' version of their original Korean name to adapt to international and English-speaking contexts. This may involve reversing the arrangement of their given name and family name to suit English-Western naming conventions: [personal name] [FAMILY NAME].
Get skin care products, including a lotion which makes your skin moist, a primer base (pore cover), a liquid foundation like BB cream, and face powder. You will also need black or brown eyeliner, eye shadows, eyebrow liner, teardrop liner which is kind of a glitter popular among Korean girls, and lip tint.
BLACKPINK member Lisa, in particular, was ranked first on this poll, earning her the title of 'Most Beautiful Face of 2021. 'BLACKPINK's other members have also made the list, which contains a total of four K-Pop stars in the top ten. In the meantime, four members of TWICE have been named the most beautiful faces.
Lisa is the only BLACKPINK member who has always had thick bangs covering her forehead. It turns out the 'LALISA' singer didn't always want bangs! In a recent interview with The Rolling Stones, Lisa revealed that bangs were her mother's idea. It was my mom's idea.
Also known as the “jaw-drop haircut”, the hairstyle has recently been popularised by K-pop idols like Lisa (who sported the look in Blackpink's How You Like That controversial music video) and Twice's Momo (who debuted her cut with a set of full fringe and layers), to name a few.
A lot of people have said her bangs are stuck onto her forehead but never, no! The most important thing is to dry your bangs down. Then dry the roots and fix it with spray. So it looks like super glue was not used in any shape or form as part of Lisa's strong bang game, just some perfectly dried hair and hairspray!
We don't blame her for having a difficult time deciding, she looks stunning in both styles! Though it's a tough decision, Lisa ultimately chose short hair once again. Lisa stated, “Yes. I like short hair, short hair.”
When it comes down to the greatest male Kpop dancers of all time, Taemin is always at the top of the list. Taemin is our choice for the greatest male Kpop dancer of all time by a narrow margin. He was one of the first Kpop male idols to be recognized for his amazing dance skills.

This is why Korean women live by the rule of double cleansing, double eye mask and double hydration in their skincare regimen. The step cleansing method includes a foaming face wash followed by an oil-based cleanser. This clears the skin of every last bit of makeup and dirt from face.
