ULZZANG MANIA


Recommended Posts

Guest christina.

amiiee; Ehe, there's a pretty good explaination of what an uhljjang (ulzzang -- I just like spelling it as "uhljjang" ^^) on the first page; I'll post it here. But welcome to the thread! <33

짱 (jjang): Korean slang that means "best." Ulzzang means "best face" in Korean and the word is used both online and in real life. Basically, an ulzzang is someone who has a very attractive face, but most people use the term to describe people who have become popular for their looks.

The ulzzang craze started in South Korea. Many ulzzang wannabes post up their pictures on various websites, and voting and chatting can be done on many of them. Contests, both online and in real life, are often used to pick the best ulzzangs, but you do not necessarily need to enter or win. Some ulzzangs, however, have not relied solely on the internet. For example, some have gained popularity at school for being attractive. Most ulzzangs, however, use the internet to share their photos, and that is how many become popular.

Many ulzzangs use Haduri, which is a web camera program popular among teens in Korea. People also take normal or digicam pictures. Some even use Photoshop to edit themselves. Fakers don't make it far, and they usually get busted.

The most famous ulzzangs may earn celebrity status. Some may appear on shows, magazines, etc. Some ulzzangs may even become real celebrities by going into acting, singing, or modeling careers. Two examples of former ulzzangs are Goo Hye Sun and Park Han Byul.

The two most known zzang categories:

Ulzzang/얼짱: Based on the face. 얼굴 (ŏlgul) means "face" in Korean.

Momzzang/몸짱: Based on the body. 몸 (mom) means "body" in Korean.

"Ulzzang" with "zz" is the most common way it's written out in English on ulzzang websites. Variations on romanization include eoljjang, uhljjang, uljjang, and so on.

But we mostly post uhljjangs here. It used to be a bigg trend in Korea, but it's dying now (or already dead.. I have to ask my friend again). :x A lot of uhljjangs become famous like Park Han Byul (Wishing Stairs; Fantasy Couple), Kim Hye Sung (Jenny, Juno), and Seo Min Woo (Sharp 3).

ilove korea; Thanks for answering my question~ <3 I wanna watch the mv now. :3 I get giddy knowing that an uhljjang is in.. an MV/movie. o_o Maybe because I see their pictures too much and their faces seem way too perfect. xD

ULZZANG MANIA NEWEST PROJECT :

FANFIC PROJECT ****

More information will be posted later when the project is in full swing.

(I ilke the sound of that; full swing)

- All UM FAMILY please sign up with your name/username, and the uljjang you want to right about.

- The fanfic will be like a collection of one-shots

- All participants don't have to worry; we'll have another participant edit yours, and so on. (Gramattically and maybe some ideas)

- If you want to write about a girl ulzzang, that's perfectly fine, but we're not going to have like erm;;; gayness in here

- The project does not have a deadline yet.

- Once a member already chooses an uljjang, another member can't choose that same uljjang, so this will be first come, first serve

Lily; actually, I have AIM & MSN! ^^ i just thought that since cookie boys from asia, he'll have msn. >.<

baoi; yup! Read above! PM me for my MSN! Also, yeah…like Solki looks like a doll to me. Like a lil too perfect, that’s a lil bit too annoying. And there’s just something about her…can’t pinpoint but whatever. (no offence to solki fans)

Christina. Omo! Christina im so sorry! >.< what uljjang did you want again? That day when I read your post, I was like…half asleep and half awake (actually I always am but…) so would you mind telling me what it is again? ^o^

Thanks mir unni for the ryanghee pictures; I love her hair when it’s curled! Shes starting to grow on me!

Cat you give the name and uljjang to me. ^^

Nicole.
