They are just pretty right?
Big deal? Yes? No?

I don't hate or like them
But you don't really know how they look like in real life
so they might not be all that pretty

Because they're pretty. I mean, the reason is pretty much in the word..
They don't do anything besides take pictures of themselves. It's not like you can like them for their personality, you don't know anything about them except how well they can take pictures.

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. A few examples of former ulzzangs are Goo Hye Sun, Park Han Byul, and Kim Hye Sung.
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.

yeahh i used to kinda obsess over them. then i realized its such a waste of my time checking up on updates for their pix and all that... i mean all they do is take pix of themselves. you dont even really know how their personalities are like. *shrugs* i think the idea of uljjangs is kinda dumb. not hating... just my opinion
why? they are pretty
what [attracts you to them]? their prettiness
yes they are just pretty&i like their styles?
big deal? not exactly.

MMM Ulzzhangs... well I guess they're eye candy cuz a lot of them are either uber cute or uber gorgeous. It sucks though that many of that have to put on such things as circle lenses (which are extremely bad for your eyes) and make up to enlarge their eyes further or cover up certain things on their faces. But I guess there are those out there who are well natural beauty 8D But I yet to see any so far.
Its basically just people with pretty (photoshopped/plastic LOL im so sorry) faces that like to make everyone know that they're pretty so they post their pics up and stuff
Dont really hate them but I only look at the ulzzang forums to see the latest tends and stuff but thats it, can't really make myself to like the girls..They look too...Unreal and creepy (I have a dollphobia or something)

As for me, I go visit the thread once a while to update on many things.
。Take notes for fashion/style.
。Take notes on photoshop styles/photography analyzing.
。Drool over the hot guys.
。Admire their face to point out my flaws. (It's a total stab to my self-esteem. I don't why I do it, but I just do.)

I kind of think it's sort of retarded. x_x I remember I used to go in the thread all the time to stare at hot guys but they were all girls and they all had big eyes. And big eyes, frankly, scare the crap out of me.
it gives an excuse to perve on them? for girls and guys...
i dont noe..i dont really like them..cos they're only recognised cos they're "goodlooking" but i think that people who like them are mostly jealous..i guess..

Uhlzzhang? they're good looking...
and I like to look it ^^
I like to see the pretty/handsome face
but not mean I don't like with the other...
Altough he/she is a good looking,
I think they have some talent maybe?

They're mainly people who love to be pretty o_o (My opinion)

Apart from being a great source of entertainment, it basically is a way to perpetuate a whole lot of vanity.
I had never heard of the term 'ulzzang' until I came to Soompi
I dont know what they're names are! I recognise who they are tho
They're jst pretty/beautiful people who get my attention coz they're skin is flawless...i envy ppl with flawless skin >__<
But sometimes when i look at them...they jst seem lyk ordinary ppl...
However, some of them are overdone, lyk the girls...they do appear too photoshopped

i admire beauty, thus why i like them. :]
they're pretty much eye candy.
you guys think too hard on this..
they're not lame, everyone admires beauty, and everyone has their own set of standards of what beauty is.
people that happen to like uhljjangs may be because they find their attractions towards uhljjangs. it's normal.
as for personality, most can tell by their "online personality" through their blogs, taste, etc in cyworld.
but usually we don't like them for personality, but for looks.
it's okay to like them, it's like liking a model.
yes, i only like them for their looks.
personality is another thing.

Like others, I look at them for their fashion and photoshopping styles..
And some of their pictures are really well taken with nice sceneries behind.
Other than that..
They're not like artistes who perform or make us laugh, showing their personalities alot..
I tend to grow more 'attached'(?) to them, compared to ulzzangs..
Though some ulzzangs do go on shows.
Well, you don't need a reason to like someone.
People just do (:

Exactly. Ulzzangs are people you like for their appearance (as superficial as that sounds, and is as well), mainly because you can't really know their personality.
muchlove!
-jisoo
almost everyone take self-cams so (those who does) and hates uhljjangs are hypocrites...
uhljjangs just sort of get famous for theirs.
i think its the same deal in the 411 section
not sure

I don’t know much about them, but sometimes when I’m bored I do visit their cyworlds to look at their pictures. I like looking at pictures of pretty people, they inspire you with their style kind of thing.
erm.. they are just humans, like us. so i dont find anything special about them.

I do check the thread sometimes, but it's not like I'm obsessed over them. The only reason of their popularity is their good looks, and it's something I don't really care about. I mean, yeah, they are hot and all that stuff, but I'd rather admire someone that has worked hard for their success. Hope no one gets offended by what I said or something.

I... never got into the whole ulzzang craze.
I don't love or hate them.
I just don't respect them.
Their photos are always so photoshopped. Just look at that Mikki girl. Why is she so popular? That's why I was so surprised to see ulzzang from other countries like Thailand, because their photos seemed so much more natural.

I'll look at pictures once in a blue moon. They're pretty/hot & they have nice style, but it's not like I'm obsessed.

can't help but stereotype them as the "mean ones" if i ever meet them in real life.

Melody!! I said I only wanted to find an Ulljjang for the ff.
Remember that guy who has the "Timmy" expression?
Yeah, he's not pretty but he is one. So there.
And some people even requested a picture spam of him.
But the guy on my signature, he's pretty like I said in MSN. (:
Look at the quote about Ulljjangs, it'll help.
Sheesh Meldoy, we only had one talk about Ulljjangs over at MSN and you've already created this thread?

I think its funny how the people who are defending them are the ones who tried to be like Ulzzhangs, wearing those lenses that make your eyeballs inhumanly huge or taking a picture with a huge flash to clear out those zits. And don't try to deny it, cause in most of you guys' 411 you say so. But I'm not going to deny that some ulzzhangs really are gorgeous.
Ulzzangs = eye candy :]

Ulzzangs are pretty even though some of them do photoshop and plastic surgery.
But in the end they're no different from talentless celebrities eh?
Why are they obsessed over...? Because they're pretty and have style I suppose.
I actually don't really visit the Ulzzang Mania thread anymore.. (I didn't even visit it that much before~)
But generally, in my opinion..... Regular looking people are just. Average; you see them on the street every day and what not. When someone gorgeous walks by with the whole style/hair/face and all, it makes you interested. I find the same for looking at ulzzangs. They're people a person -might- want to look at for inspiration.
Beauty and appearance makes THE difference in the world, obviously.

Well.. i love ulzzangs. My favorite is Lee Ji Hoo.
they're like mini-celebrities... welll, many of them become models and celebs themselves...
i love them, because you DO get to know who they are, because they
are NOT total celebs, and you can talk to them ang get to know them (maybe)
many of them are really nice, you can see through their blogs and stuff.
Eye candy is a good way to waste time, and who wouldn't like to befriend a sexy beast?
they provide very good fanfic poster pictures and they are usually the ones who
have a very good sense of style for others to see and follow. they're like kingkas and queenkas of
the internet.
i don't see the point why people hate Ulzzangs so much.. they're humans, and have a little popularity
because of their beautiful pictures.... Not all of the PS and not all of them are plastic.
i never really liked uljjangs....
why do people only look at appearance? its the inside that counts
who knows if they are really mean or bi*c*y?
they just look good. it doesnt mean they are good^^;
but overall, i dont HATE them^^ i like them sometimes if they have nice style or they give me inspiration
