Korean celebs and their height...

[Jaeho]

what the... lol

Found this on a Japanese forum and thought it was kinda funny.

BTW, Jeon Ji Hyun is 172cm, but this person said 174.

In order: Choi Ji Woo, Jeon Ji Hyun, Bi, UN.

yeah baby! go koreans~ hahaha. lol. i luv tall guys. :blush:

I think its just those Japanese people in the show who are short? There's tall Japanese guys too. My friend is 5'10" and I know someone who is 6' Just some are short only. It looks like those Japanese girls in the show are around 5'1" or 5'2"

Also, the Korean actresses are wearing high heels, the Japanese people are wearing flat shoes.

[Jaeho]

^ Yeah, I've seen plenty of tall Japanese guys. I guess celebrity-wise, height differences are more noticeable.

[Guest vietgirl604]

Wow, they're tall lols.. Who's the first person? Choi JiWoo? ..Looks like her. Or is it JiHyun as well? Either way, she's tall. =)

[Guest soutsada7]

Just a question, is 5''10 in guys considered tall? At what measure is a guy considered 'tall'?

[Guest blablabla]

^ 5"10 is around 178cm...so it's considered the average height for guys....i think if a guy is 180cm or more,then he is tall....

[Guest ahyoung]

yeayea but there are tall japanese & chinese as well!!!!

[Jaeho]

In Korea, 180 isn't even tall anymore. It's lke 184+ now, I heard... That sucks. Because people always said 180+ was tall just a few years back.

Thanks for the info. I'm 5''10, so that means I'm just average...

[Guest Aestas]

how the hell do they grow that tall.. goodness gracious.

[Simply_suZ]

The Japanese don't really care about height as much. You see more shorter Japanese celebs rather than short Korean celebs.

[juhee]

aww man...

im korean...

and im short as hell!

no fair to the tall koreans with all the good genes..

*sniff

[Guest margaux]

yeah.. i learned that korean talent agencies have height (except for some actresses) and weight requirements.. that's why most of korean actors and actresses are tall and skinny.

[Guest ahyoung]

^

ususally trainees are taken in at a young age... they have time to grow .. i don't think its true....;

but most celebs have to control their weight.!

Even in Western countries, 180 is still tall...Coz if u said a certain height is not considered "tall" anymore, then that height must be less than equal to the average...And I don't think Korea men's average is 180

[Guest cammiee]

wow they all look so tall

[seirin]

JJH & CJW are TALL!

Just a question, is 5''10 in guys considered tall? At what measure is a guy considered 'tall'?

yea, 5'10" is considered tall IMO. Junki is 5'10" and he towers over the rest of the K&C cast. Unless you consider 5'8" guys to be short now. There are still guys who are 5'6". Anyhow, alot of celebs tend to exaggerate their height. I wonder how many are actually over 6'. Bi is supposedly 6'2" or 6'3". But I took a pic with his dancer who is same height as him. And he seemed to be about my friend or slightly taller. And my friend is 5'10"

[Guest s3rene]

They are really tall compared to the others, even CJW and JJH are so giant looking. I feel sad now.
