Korea’s Top Female Idols with Eye-Smiles

Korea’s Top Female Idols with Eye-Smiles


Yesterday, we reported the male baby-faced beasts of Korea, and today Nate is taking a look at girls who have perfect eye smiles. If you haven’t heard of this term before, it’s the crescent shape that an eye curves into when a person smiles. In Korea, guys tend to love girls who smile this way. So which girls have the best eye smiles?

1. SNSD’s Tiffany
When SNSD first debuted, Tiffany was immediately loved by many as she became known as ‘that girl with the eye smile’ on variety programs. Her smile was so well known that when she was asked to show off a talent on a show, she would just smile and the guys would melt.


2. KARA’s Seungyeon

Even though Seungyeon recently confessed that she believed her non-smiling face is not so great, her smiling face more than makes up for it! Though she’s one of the oldest members of KARA, she looks pretty young with to her cuteness.

3. f(x)’s Sulli

Every time Sulli moves, people go crazy. She is one of those rare girls that guys and girls love. Her pale white skin goes perfectly with her plump lips when she smiles. She’s nothing more than lovable and she never forgets to smile wherever she goes. From what I’ve seen of her, she seems like she smiles 24/7. So what makes eye smiles so lovable? Well, Koreans attribute the look to “aegyo fat,” which is the area of skin underneath the eyes. One plastic surgeon said that this “aegyo fat” makes people look cuter and gives the illusion that they have bigger eyes. Who do you think has the best eye smile?

Who is Apple Girl?

Two UCC videos released by a girl in the space of a week and whom goes by the name of “Apple Girl” has become all the rage on the internet. So who is this “Apple Girl”?

Just some background information first. This “Apple Girl” uploaded her first video on March 15th, jamming to her four iPhones setup (with separate applications) and singing to Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. A week later, she uploaded her second video, but this time singing Lady Gaga’s Pokerface.

Nothing unusual or special you might say.

But from her ease at operating her four iPhones setup, pretty face and impressive vocals, she became a really popular person with netizens. And it certainly looks like she was aiming to reach out to the world as she made her greetings at the start in Japanese, Korean and English, before using the latter throughout the videos.



You could also attribute her popularity to her usage of popular social networking tools like Youtube and Twitter to communicate with the masses.

On the day that she uploaded her Lady Gaga video, she became all the rage with netizens and even made the headlines of many news portals for that day. But no one knew her real identity since she only went by the nickname of “Apple Girl” and some even felt that Apple had hired her to do noise marketing for the iPhone.

So netizens started work to unmask her identity and managed to discover that she was a volunteer singer called Kim Yeo Hee who simply loves the iPhone and singing. If you find her somewhat familiar, you are not far off. She had appeared as the female partner for F.T. Island’s Lee Hong Ki during his MNET Scandal episode last June. She also participated in the Superstar K talent competition but did not get far.

Choi Jin Young’s mother fainted during his cremation

On March 29th, the sad news of yet another celebrity suicide spread across Korea like wildfire as Choi Jin Young passed away at the age of 39.

On the 31st, Choi Jin Young’s mother arrived at a crematory in Seongnam for her son’s cremation. However, during the emotionally difficult process, she fainted. If you don’t remember, her daughter, Choi Jin Shil also committed suicide two years ago so you can only imagine how emotionally distraught the mother must be. Choi Jin Young’s mother was moved to a car by her relatives to get some rest.

In addition, it was noted that when Choi Jin Young’s mother arrived, she looked rather pale and started crying right away. As soon as the cremation started she screamed her son’s name and said, “Jin Young-ah, what am I supposed to do now that you’ve left me behind, take me with you.” Choi Jin Shil’s children did not attend the cremation.

We wish the best for the family. Keep them in your prayers.

U-kiss will visit Philippines

Hold your breathe guys as the Korean super idol band called U-Kiss will soon be visiting Manila, Philippines this coming March 26, 27, and 28. :omg: After the successful mall shows of 4minute last month, I’m sure fangirls and fanboys will support their idols on this upcoming event. All I can say is “This is totally our year ~ FILIPINO KPOP ADDICTS!” :love eyes:

Here’s the full article of Manila Bulletin regarding U-Kiss Mall Show and Concert.

Premiere Entertainment Philippines Inc. (PEP) brings Korean “super idol band” U-Kiss to Manila for the very first time for a series of special mall shows on March 26, 27, and 28. This is in line with the promotion of the band’s full-length, solo concert here in the country that will happen this June.

U-Kiss is composed of Alexander, Kevin, Dong Ho, Eli, Ki Bum, Hyun, and Ki Seob. The band debuted in Atamai, Japan at “The Second Power of Atamix ’08” and this paved the way form a successful solo show in Hamamatsucho, Japan. Since then, the band released 3 singles and their current full-length studio album “Without You” is rapidly climbing the charts of various Asian countries. U-Kiss is also given the Best New Artist award at the “Asian Song Festival” in 2008.

Members Kevin and Alexander are chosen as VJs for Arirang’s “Pops in Seoul” while Dong Ho is currently a member of the “Unrivalled Baseball Team.”

PEP chairman Joong Ku says that U-Kiss is the first of the many Korean stars that his company will bring to the Philippines. PEP is currently under negotiations in bringing Big Bang, Wonder Girls, and 2NE1 to the country.

PEP will also collaborate with local film and TV productions in strengthening the cultural and artistic interaction between Korea and the Philippines.
