Guest mekka Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Since celebrities started lying about their height. They lie about their height, age, but its not them who perpetrate the lies its their handlers, publicist and agencies. Another thing the camera angle the photogs take a pics., from below looking up make them thier short legs appear taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChunSungIm Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 well most of idols using insoles this days lol XP but the tall actor usually make their height correct because youre already tall why lying about that. as for woman some of them use heels ,compared to tall actor they are tiny so for the sake of screen they manipulating it by camera trick or heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thesassygirl2 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 um i thought it was a well-known fact that all celebrity heights are exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 0oyokisuo0 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 AND 180 cm = 6 ft, not 5'10''. so since you went from 5'10" -> 5'8'', TOP should actually be 6' -> 5'10". No. 180cm is about 5"10 (not even) 180 cm = 5'904 actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueberries8213 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 No. 180cm is about 5"10 (not even) It's not like they accidentaly put their heights wrong but it's pretty obvious they fake it a few inches. And lol, if a guy states he's 5"10, and turns out to be 5"7, his whole image looks different. 180 cm = 5'904 actually. uh.......... not really. 1 in is roughly about 2.54 cm. 2.54 x 70 (which is 5'10'') = 177.8 2.54 x 12 = 30.48 which is roughly 1 ft. 30.48 x 6 = 182.88 ok then 30.48 x 5 = 152.4 and 2.54 x 11 = 27.94 152.4 + 27.94 = 180.34 so, 180 cm is roughly around 5'11", not 5'10". It may be only one inch, but it's still a lot. usually in korea, 180 cm is taken as 6 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be only one inch, but it's still a lot. usually in korea, 180 cm is taken as 6 ft. ....ugh what? 1 centimeter = 0.032808399 feet 180 x 0.032808399 = 5.90551182 i have no idea how you make it so complicated.

Guest blueberries8213 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 ^ Uhmn what? In your previous post that I quoted, you said that 6 ft = 180cm.. I don't want to argue about whether 180cm is really 5"10 5"11 or 6ft. Anyway, just because Song Hye Gyo lies about her height , doesn't mean all celebs do that. And yes, I'm sure all of us are aware that most guy celebs do wear insoles. ....ugh what? 1 centimeter = 0.032808399 feet 180 x 0.032808399 = 5.90551182 i have no idea how you make it so complicated. ok......... for the first quote: that's because I used 2.54 cm = 1 in. sorry about being one inch off -_________- and for the second quote: 2.54 cm = 1 in. there for if you multiply 2.54 by 72, it becomes roughly 180 cm. You can look it up if you don't believe 2.54 cm = 1 in. ----- edit------ and I only made it complicated (it's really not that complicated if you actually read through it - it's only simple math) so that I could show you how I did the math. ----edit------ oh I get what the problem was (for the 2nd post). 5.90551182 ft doesn't equal 5'9''. 5'9" = 69 in and 5.90551182 ft = 70.86614184 in. and 6 ft = 72 in. 72 is closer to 70.86614184 than 69 is, and so they round up.

Guest rapturous Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 um i thought it was a well-known fact that all celebrity heights are exaggerated. true. especially after seeing the photo of Big Bang (excluding TOP) standing next to Bi Rain. It is clear Big Bang is not that tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HellzLegend Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 um i thought it was a well-known fact that all celebrity heights are exaggerated. uh not all are exaggerated. There are a lot who fake their height and a lot who don't. Just because some do doesn't mean you should assume everyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueberries8213 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 ^agreed. Only to name a few, but yunho, changmin, and siwon probably don't lie about their heights. And I think a lot of idols who fake their heights come out on shows and joke about it, showing the stuffing they put in their shoes. It's really not that big of a deal. I think most fans and other celebrities out there know who fakes their heights and who don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaeho Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thank you blueberries8213 LOL Yeah, you can't rely on just an online converter. Math's tricky yo I'm used to metric so I have these in my head already 178 = 5'10, 180 = 5'11, 183 = 6', etc they're not exactly 100% accurate, but yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xxxong Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 there height is usually not true. Before they debut, they would have these test to show how much they will grow. Sometimes it turns out wrong because of stress. So they would usually stop growing and not reach that height that is said on their profile. This was even mentioned on a show.

Guest ms.incredible Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 so, 180 cm is roughly around 5'11", not 5'10". It may be only one inch, but it's still a lot. usually in korea, 180 cm is taken as 6 ft. I'm mad I actually got curious enough to calculate this too. but yeah i got 180 at 70.9 which would be closer to 5'11. I remember a saying about celebs, the short ones lie and say they're taller and the tall ones lie and say they're shorter. and it's true. LOL Lady Gaga blew the lid off and said she and a lot of celebrities use special lens cameras for videos to make themselves look taller than they really are. Meanwhile Ciara was listed at 5'10 when she debuted has now shrank to 5'8 suddenly. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
