To address the Twitter criticism, the video is titled 'Why Hoyeon is attractive to a Western Audience,' not to a Korean audience or an East Asian one. She fits Western beauty standards and the West is a melting pot of different racial groups and ethnic features. Twitter incorrectly strawmans this into suggesting that the video is fitting her to Eurocentric beauty standards which is incorrect. Eurocentric standards prefer features closer in shape and size to the Eastern Beauty standards, so that is false.
A personal favourite comment of mine: 'She's hot because she's hot... now stop????'
"She can't be attractive if she's not white"
That is not the message of this video at all. There are plenty of WOC models much like her for IMG and Wilhelmina with the exact same features but of native american or south asian ancestry, we've even done an interview with one of them. The focus is not on her skin colour but her facial features, which unsurprisingly are not exclusive to a particular race. Having 'wide cheekbones' and a 'well-formed jaw' cannot be claimed by a particular race, and the message certainly isn't that shes attractive exclusively for fitting a certain beauty standard. Rather, her look is unique from what we've come to see of Korean actressess (from a Western perspective), as these facial features are rarely cast for the reasons given, and are opted for a softer, cuter looking face by directors. I'm happy that we're seeing a fresh new set of faces.
Twitter likes to use a lot of words out of context, because it's an echo chamber of misinformation:
đ Eugenics: a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior.
No where in the video, or ever on the channel does it promote excluding less attractive people, people with disabilities, those with deformities or significant disadvantages in social and dating environments. Every video, right from the very first has highlighted the psychology behind why as humans, we discriminate based on looks, to raise awareness of the double-standards that exist in our society.
From the very first beauty culture videos discussing ethnocentrism and its impact on beauty standards: czcams.com/video/dzqM0e09CZc/video.html
To acknowledging cross-cultural similarity in beauty standards between Sengalese tribes and Scottish Immigrants: czcams.com/video/Q2afARZAiLI/video.html
This channel has always been as inclusive as possible, and virtually every beauty standards video or discussion on beauty, includes as many different geographical regions and ethnicities as possible to fit in a 10 minute format.
đPhrenology: Phrenology, the study of the conformation of the skull as indicative of mental faculties and traits of character.
One of the first, the very first things you learn in first-year psychology is differentiating the outdated methods of phrenology as proposed by Franz Gall, from modern-day psychology practice. The definition of phrenology refers specifically to the attribution of mental characteristics, where originally, Gall believed that the shape of the Neuro-Cranium (the part that houses the brain) was influenced by how much you used certain aspects of your soft-tissue brain to push the skull outwards in those regions.
This is very far from modern-day anthropometry (the science that defines physical measures of a person's size, form, and functional capacities). In other words, anthropometry is an actual branch of science you can find in your local anthropology department in your local university, whereas phrenology is an outdated practise based on in-tanglible evidence (i.e. thoughts, mental ability).
đThis channel is racist/fethishizing/fatphobic
No one on our team, in the entirety of the qoves team, is a straight white male (that should not even have to matter, but twitter's facts are wrong, big surprise). From the start of the channel, as a POC myself, all we've done is focus on increasing inclusivity in discussions of beauty. In the past our company has produced AI that addresses the issue of black and brown skin tones being discriminated against by machine algorithms to improve fairness (qoves.com). We've worked on skincare that specifically caters to under-represented skin tones and ethnic groups, we've covered beauty standards from South Asia and East to show the differences in how they address beauty, we did our research exhaustively for those videos, much like any other.
There is an element of beauty that is subjective, and a part that is objective, much like with all things in life. There are certain design elements in a car that make it more striking, or 'sporty' than a Kia Caravan, and designers call this a design language (Donut Media: czcams.com/video/2w9Ae44iWUA/video.html). The same can be said for faces, as plastic surgeons, anthropologists, psychologists, dentists and orthodontists have known since early antiquity. As covered on the channel, certain traits can give a face a more 'neotenous' or child-like look, compared to those that give it a sophisticated and 'high-fashion' look. You know this, I know this, Tiktok covers this extensively, so why the double-think in saying that beauty is purely subjective?
đ Race Science
What the hell is race science??? I must have taken the wrong degree.
Well for what it's worth, yall gained a new subscriber since I'm not one to critique something without looking into myself & I could tell from the first minute of the video (as I suspected admittedly since I don't trust virtue signalling tweets) that this channel was legit & being slandered. Hope yall get even more!
Its twitter what did you expect
Twitter is filled with buffons and as you said it's an "echo chamber" so a lot of people attempting to criticise this vid are just going off of the opinion of others without actually watching it; most of us folks who did watch it have no issue with it so dont bother much g.
@@yeahtbh.161 found the twittet guy
Western standards are Angelina Jolie Monica Bellucci Jlo..
Definitely a good example of how women can be "handsome" or "striking" - much in the same way some men are "pretty" or "gorgeous"
You should look into Park Bo Gum. Feminine men.
@@Preethla yeah, he's really cute! I'm actually a big fan of BTS and most of their members are very pretty!
@@wildhearses Yes me too but what is so different about Park Bo Gum is that he has very small facial features but his body is huge despite being slander. Huge shoulders and hands and legs. Quite rare to see in Korea. Heâs soft yet masculine.
@@wildhearses especially Taehyung who is very handsome
@@McFlashh I would even argue that Tae is one of the more masculine BTS members- he has a really handsome nose and a strong-ish jawline... Jimin is probably an obvious pick for a more "pretty" member but I think Suga and Jhope are both weirdly beautiful- maybe because they have rounder faces and daintier noses. I've always thought it was ironic that suga acts like the toughest member but is maybe the 'prettiest'....
In Asia, her face and beaurty would be considered strong. Different Asian countries tend to prefer softer, gentler and kinder structure of faces. She's the type of face that will be cast for serious or action roles, sharp and modern couture, and rarely for those Kdrama, love centric roles.
I can see her in action movies
I think she would fit in well with the âloner girl but actually loves you to bitsâ trope lololol
@@belomettinavyy1068 same
Thank god
Honestly, most Chinese and Japanese models look like Jeong Ho yeon or are prettier. So Chinese and Japanese people don't think she's very pretty. Certainly, the standards of beauty in the West and the East are different.
imagine dating w this guy and he just scientifically analyzes your attractiveness to flirt with you
LMAOAOOA
Gonna use it, thanks
Lol basically this guy's saying she's hot bec she fits a white man's standard.
@@oust4260 and?
@@-_deploy_- asians need western validation to be considered beautiful.
Honestly she's an extremely beautiful woman in general, but the haircut/hairstyle she had in Squid Game? That's definitely what did it for me. It complements her (gorgeous) facial features so perfectly, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Obviously she's still stunning with long hair or other haircuts in general, but it's just not the same.
thatâs how i feel about lee yo mi too, that hair (and nose stud!!) looks so good :D sheâs got a more âcuteâ appearance irl though
Agreed
Is that called wolf cut?
@@cicadaboi101 yes
Unpopular Opinion: She's a above average looking asian woman to be honest, I don't know why people are hyping her up so much, there's countless of asian models on her level or above that.
In my opinion she has the same sort of attractiveness as Zendaya. Theyâre both tall, striking, with a masculine/feminine balance, and look amazing with âno makeupâ, messy hair, eyebags etc lol. The cool tomboy-ish look, but also beautiful and feminine at the same time.
You know whatâŠ..your rightâŠ!!! Lol
yes!!I absolutely love that look.girls with sharper features and that are tall
I agree!
Nothing beats androgyny
how tall is hoyeon jung?
She had a very striking appearance, I think her haircut was also perfect for her facial shape and matched the attitude the character was effecting.
Totally agree ...her atrractive aura wouldn't be so outstanding if her hair was long
This haircut brings our her best qualities
Yeah ~ her haircut match her facial feature brilliantly !
Her haircut complimented her cheekbones
im pretty sure her haircut in squid game is why everyone fell for her
Yep i like the short hair
Talking about her beauty without even mentioning her perfect lips seems crazy to me.
Rightttt???!!
@@whiteydiamond lmaooo
@@whiteydiamond You just watched an entire video dissecting a woman's looks in detail but are creeped out by the mention of her lips? Sure. Look, I'll even rephrase my statement for you. Her lips are obviously nice and the fact they didn't mention them in the video took me by surprise.
@@whiteydiamond Ok
@@whiteydiamonddamn, using your time to hate on people who finds someone pretty? i donât think you have the right to call us incels when youâre using your time for something as stupid and immature as that.
she is a handsome woman. she could be very androgynous if she wanted to and itâs very beautiful. i think women can have masculine beauty just as men can have feminine beauty.
Shut up
@@wishes_._ go kiss your mom đ
@@thekatprincess no need, i already kissed his mom for him
cold sweat poured down my back but your nickname reassured me
I mean the video spent much of the time talking about how the classical Hollywood/Western beauty standard for women is quite masculine (ex Margot Robbie which is often described as old school beautiful)
She went from 900k followers to 19mil. That's epic growth
@cinamonrollcutie 2 The best part is, her success is probably gonna go even higher! How great is it to know it is possible and might happen to some of us? :D
What? I thought she had 19 mil before..Damn
as she should
On which platform
She had 400k before squid game released
i have serious problems with eyebags and dark circles and seeing her slay makes me feel like it's easier to accept myself đ
SAME!!! Love seeing that she's still so beautiful even with eyebags. I think they add makeup for the dark circles, but still, it's nice to see that in the media :)
Dark circles can look dark and mysterious, granted that they donât look abnormal.
Yow yow this has been on My mind However the Eye bugs part not so much , Her face i feel like it is just so similar to mine despite me being male looking at her makes me Love my Face unlike other models who make me insecure or feel less which is so amazing
I love her eye bags. Her and Lea seydoux
Yeah! Me too. I was like... Well, eyebags and dark circles are atractive anyways
More than just this, this video taught me to embrace my own masculine facial structure which I hated at first.
The irony is that I love people with strong facial structures. Well it's time to start loving myself too
@@Paraclef it is a masculine trait though, same way men can have feminine traits women can have masculine traits
Her short hair really did it for me. It just suits her so well.
She looks like a fox. Love her sharp angular face, eyes and cheekbones
đș
What a fox
that's exactly what I thought, it's the fox eyes like gigi hadid's
@@farabihasan1155 I donât really see it.
@@farabihasan1155 I don't think Gigi Hadid is the epitome of fox eyes.
She has perfectly balanced ratio of feminine and masculine features along with her acting skill. No wonder why she got all the attention she deserved
@°âą-beauty subliminals-âąÂ° what
She is what the world regard as "Super Model Face "
@°âą-beauty subliminals-âąÂ° oh I see. You just want to be âuniqueâ.
@@AndyLiang2017 I don't need to be Unique !
I speak the Truth ,
She is consider Super Beauty across the world' definition as Beautiful !
@@RS-rf5do calm yourself and reread it. Iâm actually agreeing with you
It's amazing how people just dismiss this analysis but it's interesting. If you keep an eye on the modelling industry, you wouldn't expect her to stand out this big, at all. I knew her before squid game and if you see her on the runway, you wouldn't even take a second look at her. When I finished the show, I was more amazed in her acting skills because I knew it was her debut acting gig. Usually runway models who turned actresses don't do well. Also, as an Asian myself as well I didn't expect that much people from the West to find her attractive. That's why this video was interesting to me.
I'm just happy we finally get Asian representation this big in the international market. If you want to see East Asian models with similar features, she reminds me of Cong He and Yoon Young Bae face wise - full lips, high cheek bones, have neonatal features as well. All of them are gorgeous.
Westerners like shaper features they find her more attractive than someone who fits the korean standards would be too soft looking for them
She ticks a lot of objective attractive boxes, I don' think it's only western audiences that think she looks good.
@Moris Hustler Music The idea that "beauty standards" are extremely significant is a joke. They matter, but there is a ton of objectivity to beauty.
Definitely not, especially when sheâs walked for French couture runways
I don't think this video tried to say otherwise.
She doesnt fit into the korean ideal beauty standard but that doesnt mean that shes not considered attractive in korea
@@raygin6581 What exactly is the "korean beauty standard" if whites that are considered attractive in the West are also considered attractive there?
To me, her most beautiful feature is her iconic lips. I've never seen anyone with such beautifully shaped lips other than princesses from Disney movies!
Facts
oh my lord yes this is facts
@Laaiba lip routine? Her lips are just naturally plump
How red/darker pink they look is soooo pretty
@@timidwildone corretto đ„
I definitely think it's more than her facial looks. It's the character we've come to associate her with because of the show. The "rogue independent badass with tomboyish short hair" + a pretty face resulted in an appealing character. Looking at the first picture you used of her where she has long hair for example, she looks generic with no "character" to her, nothing really stands out about her in that pic. The show definitely helped for people to project an attractive character onto her.
+ the under eye bags and freckles
yeah, seeing her in other things she almost looks like a different person- I guess maybe the bangs help make her jawline stand out too? It's neat that with different make up she can look way more 'cute'
@chewiirull nah that hair definitely makes her gorgeous. I was dissapointed after looking his casual look.
anyone else could have played her character and still this person would not manage to look attractive, she is attractive because she is hoyeon jung
Shows that everyone is beautiful.
You just have to find the right audience who appreciates you.đ
.Or be that.
true, the right audience does influence the "beauty standards" a lot
@@nibbonbon 2021 beauty standards now: slim arms, thigh gap, small stomach, symmetrical face
@@donotbelieveeverythingonth942 đ I'll just say: read your own username for my response to that
She actually is the reason i watched Squid Game. She's a good actor, and very pretty aswell! I feel like her having both feminine and masculine features in her face, made her much more attactive!
found someone attractive watch the damn show just to watch that pretty face? i mean how u people do this?
@Ze4l Fish x2
Wow you just proved why only attractive actors get roles , because people like you only watch pretty people putting on a pretty show .
@Moris Hustler Music I completely agree. Itâs all so superficial.
@Moris Hustler Music WTF Lionel Messi has 270 milion follower and is not pretty
Sheâs not asian Zendaya. Sheâs HOYEON JUNG! I'm tired of everyone being compared to Zendaya.
Agreed, she looks nothing like her
Zendaya is mid.
We stand đ€
@@dazaiel8081 buggin
I don't find zendaya attractive as hoyeon
Imagine having a whole youtube video dedicated to your beauty
I didnât know people could be so obsessed with someoneâs face.

" *cut-throat* rogue character " cmon man LMAO
lmao
too soon too soon
đ

Cutted throat rogue character seems more accurate lmao
I think the best way I can describe her attractiveness is the fact that sheâs feminine but also has this kind of masculine/handsome aura about her.
So you're gay?
@@imtheonehero9305 It's not gay to like slight masculine women. They're still women
@@imtheonehero9305 hero
Men can be more feminine and women can be more masculine presenting because everyoneâs different and not one gender is going to have all of the same features so that doesnât change their gender. I feel like that makes no sense lol
You are talking about her âstrength â aura ? Kinda odd to say masculine but whatever
Her face shape reminds me of a cat, it makes so much sense to cast her as a character who's quick, stealthy and clever.
Many famous models often have "alien" qualities to their face, it makes them unworldly, godly. Hoyeon's face feels vaguely similar to Gelflings from the Dark Crystal. She like a woodland elf.
@chewiirull yup thats the vibe. far apart eyes and a sharp jaw.
Personally I always loved her eyebags, Iâve always been insecure of my own eyebags, but seeing her have them so visible in so many of her pictures, from runway modeling, to in the show, it really makes me feel better abt having visible bags myself
Make those bags work for you, girlđ
Sameee
Love that for you
after seeing her eye bags I actually wanted eye bags like her lmao idc what people say but such eye bags are really hot and attractive for me.
I am actually jealous of people who have visible eye bags. I'm so happy that you have decided to accept yours. They're a beautiful feature! đ
I'm surprised people didn't crush on Ji-Yeong as much
tho then again beauty's in the eye of the beholder
OMG YES. she's beautiful too, specially her smileđ
@@yeehawjungoo3385 finally someone agrees haha
I think they're both absolutely gorgeous!
Yeah me too
I prefer her as well! Btw both incredibly fascinating and beautiful.
Twitter picks on anything. You have many other videos like this one, Iâm sorry for the hate. The people criticising probably havenât even seen your channel.
i hate gatekeeping but qoves is the one thing I'd want to gatekeep. We can't have nice things đ
Hilarious how people from twitter who came on here are bashing him based on a single thumbnail without knowing anything about the creator or the channel
Its twitter, what did you expect? I swear i cant be on there without my blood boiling.
hoyeon has really boosted my confidence in terms of face shape, cos like as an asian the standard is like what Qoves said, a more oval face. And so, to be able to see such a gorgeous and talented person such as hoyeon, who is asian and has a similar face shape to me (the often looked down upon in asian beauty standards, square 0-0), I really feel comforted by her.
also keep up the good work Qoves!
Yeah but you are a man
Honestly, same. Although I donât think I look good with a wider face I certainly feel a lot better when I see people who do look awesome.
She has more of a heart shaped face than square but yea I get your point.
She has a heart faced shape; not square. Square is Cameron Diaz or Angelina Jolie - also beautiful women.
@@cv7958 if a asian saw your comment, they'll be like "eh?" lol
i think her face is like diamond-square shape.
The mix of male/female dimorphic characteristics definitely makes her face memorable. I havenât seen Squid Game yet but there also seems to be a halo from her character, guessing she mustâve been a badass lmao.
Her lips immediately catch my eye and her eyes look so fierce due to the positive tilt but the other neotenous features evens it out. Her skin also looks incredible. Very striking and memorable. Also agree with other comments saying that her shorter hair looks much better than the longer hair imo.
@Laaiba itâs all funny until you realize fashion is a billion dollar industry and their not about to put anyone on those runways until theyâve done all the proper research in what makes the most attractive people attractive. Thereâs a sweet science to EVERYTHING.
WHAT'S NEOTENOUS đ
lOl
She's not attractive tho, her eyes are funny looking
Anyone could have anything personality traits
whoa this is so interesting. i thought to my self (prior to watching the show) why people especially those in the west were suddenly so taken with hoyeon. i randomly was recommended her vogue skincare video and i was so quickly taken with her eye-catching attractiveness and nice personality. i never thought one's looks could be broken down scientifically, so this was a very nice surprise to me. thank you, i learned quite a lot! :)
This is going to sound weird but... I think part of why people find her beautiful is because she looks so different from the conventional faces. Also like others have pointed out her haircut definitely worked really well.
Different as in Asian but if you go to visit China or Korea town, she wonât look so different from anyone else. She has typical features of your average Asian. To each itâs own though.
@@audrey5308 There are Asian people everywhere around me here in the United States and not one of them compares to her imo. Like Iâm biracial (b+w) and I see biracial people everyday as well yet most of us donât compare to a Zendaya.
@@audreyf9092 Hi Audrey too! Lol. Guess everyone has their own perception of beauty. Itâs all subjective.
@@audreyf9092 hey Audrey ik it's late but if you'll walk a street in North East India , Taiwan, Japan and Korea you'll find faces similiar to hers!
Its not just her face tbh, it's her personality and her aura that makes her look more attractive.
I feel like she's kinda similar to Captain Levi, a million girls simp him even though he's 160cm which in normal case would mean they wouldn't even spare a glance at him, but then you put in the cut-throat, dangerous, skilled traits in the mix and it kinda amplifies their original charm. I don't think this girl would've gotten so famous if she had been playing another character and not been portrayed as badass
@@majlordag1889 holy crap, youâre absolutely right
It should be she is attractive so she has a good personality and not the vice versa
@@omarmuhammad6868 Not every conventionally attractive person has a good personality though
@Laaiba That's way more common than you think.
Itâs how perfectly shaped her lips are for me. They just look so plump yet very natural
yh its getting to popular w lip fillers and when u see someone w natural big lips thats a big extra point for me
Love her lips and I think she naturally has big lips because on Korea's Next Top Model she had the same lips I found her look like really striking and different that's what drew me to her
I think it'd be fun for you to analyse Yoon Jeonghan from Seventeen. As an Idol, he goes through a lot of style changes. Especially with his hairstyle. I've been watching QOVES Studio for a little over a year now and I always notice how you make a point for long hair to mostly only work on masculine men. For a "flower boy" like Jeonghan, I think long hair actually suits him (though in a different way). I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Love from JP đ
"It's actually quite simple"
*makes 12 minute video explaining why*
But nah, good video mate. Great explanation.
Ooo would love an episode on Takeshi Kaneshiroâs face. Heâs a Taiwanese-Japanese mix & he looks unusually ethereal, especially in his younger years. Now that heâs 47, he still looks unbelievably good in such an effortless way. I really canât put my finger on what makes him attractive but maybe Qoves can.
yes I agreee!!!!!
I agree! He's gorgeous
Heâs soooooo hot
Its call Asians don't raisins.
OMG! Such a huge fan of him. Let's bump this up so that qoves can see this and hopefully make a video of him!
I have a lot of masculine facial features mixed with feminine and I have been very insecure about that so seeing her really made me feel better
That's the best type of face imho. My face is kinda just feminine and I don't like it cause it's not striking
Bloody hell ... You're hawt..
@@sybilalmeida lol no I wish
What about a guy who has both masculine and feminine features? I get men hit on me more so then women which personally sucks

Eisa_yt alot of people aren't smart
What happened?
@@flavortown6280 people are taking this video the wrong way and thinking this video is made by some white guy who can't believe an Asian girl is considered attractive
Its even funnier when those people say beauty is subjective as a response, but the channel has actually acknowledged the subjectivity of it.
"She looks just like a dream the prettiest girl i've ever seen"
-
It's because hot people exist all over the world in all cultures.
Exactly there is a objective standard to beauty at the same time people have a preference that's subjective meaning what's beautiful to you but just because you personally find it beautiful doesn't mean it's objective
What about unattractive people??? They will never experience this. They will never have friends,boyfriend, attention from everyone. Itâs not fair
@@taesrose9028 World is unfair. People have different kind of privileges such as attractiveness, intelligence (Prodigy), wealth so its not easy to please everyone. But in all of these beauty privilege is discussed most and have a negative underlying tone imo
yeah, but some beauty aspects like skin color are prohibited to talk about tbh. for example, if i say i think dark skinned is ugly, i would be almost lynched
@@user-yw2ud8ec4r Lol people say that all the time what are you crying about lol.

Even though he may say a lot of negatives, I would still gladly let him study me. I'd probably get some advice, I dunno.
I havenât watched his other videos, and ofc, working in the field of beauty, you know technically what is deemed âunattractiveâ. But thatâs no indicator of his personal taste and he doesnât say any of the Squid Game girlsâ features are unattractive, just points out the ones that are unconventional for her home and more appealing in other countries!

@@sp0ngeb00b7 this comment is such a positive mood booster! thank you for spreading this energyđ
@@yuruyukii Oh, no problem, friend!! Remember, even the people you consider the most attractive in the world, there are some people who'd find you prettier.

We all do it just subconsciously. He just does it with extra words thatâs all.
This video was absolutely fascinating to watch, and actually introduced me to this channel. I decided to come back to this video after binging through majority of your other content just to say that I do really appreciate this channel. It's really rather interesting, and has helped me put more thought into the way I present myself.
I'm not sure if suggestions are ok, but I'd be interested in seeing you discuss androgyny and just androgynous fashion and features in general.
Wow, youâve just opened up a whole new world to me. Never knew this kind of analysis was a thing. Time to go down the rabbit hole with this stuff
Actually the director did say that during the casting of the characters, she sent her audition and when he saw her face he felt she was the one who could represent Saebyeok the best
he definitely chose the right person
She just catches the eyes immediately. She just redefined in myself what I call beautiful.

Yo this video is popping with views. Good for you, this is a very good and informative channel.
Hoyeon also has a great physique standing at 176cm (5â9) tall.
@KaikuKaiku Kim Joo-ryeong (who played Han Mi-Nyeo) is 167 cm and the difference is more than 3 cm when she stands next to Hoyeon.
@@auburntiger6829 It's possible Kim's height is also inflated. Celebs often lie about height.
@KaikuKaiku Sheâs a model who walked on runways for brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. Itâs true sheâs above 175cm. Itâs impossible that sheâs only 170cm. Then she wouldnât even have a chance to stand on the runway.
â@Jk Thanks for your explanations, I'm tired of how people can't even believe in height these days.
How does 5'9 equal "great physique" lmao
I have always been so insecure about the lines under my eyes looking at her I don't think I need to be so insecure about it
In Eastern beauty standards itâs common to see, and desirable, to have those lines under your eyes. Koreans know the beauty trend as âaegyo-salâ and, if you watch any makeup tutorials by both Korean men and women, youâll see that they purposefully accentuate the feature to appear more youthful and bright. Donât mistake the âaegyo-salâ for tired eye bags though.
@@elise8276 I don't think OP is referring to a puffed up aegyo-sal (correct me if I'm wrong), but to the tear trough instead. It's refreshing to see it so dominantly on an actor/actress!
â@@elise8276 In the tv show, you don't really see her aegyo-sal. You mainly see her eye bags.

Hello there.
because of my mother has cancer she can't work I have to take care of her because my parents are divorced.
I am here because my father dont give us the alimony. So i have to take care of them
Would you like to join my p@ge and help me take better care of my mom and sister?
@@childrensfairytalescandinavia No
hair and eye bags...like fr. her as a character too, she's fucking badass bruh.
I think she might be one of the few high fashion models that Koreans actually find goodlooking. Because she has a very neotenous face, it balance out her sharper features.
I noticed in south Korea when a girl has an "ugly" feature but is still seen as attractive, the girl usually have a babyface or The rest of their features are very delicate. They might have slanted small eyes or high cheekbones, but their nose is tiny, lips are pouty, round cheeks and relatively short face.
There was this pop idol Sohee who has slanted monolid eyes and slightly high cheekbones, But she was an IT girl for many years. And it was not for being talented lol or entertaining but for her looks! and she has a soft baby face.
Devon Aoiki is also a excellent example of this! She has high cheekbones and slanted eyes (ugly features in Asia) but she's still considered attractive because she has a neotenous face. Despite her eyes & cheekbones not being ideal, the rest of her face are still ideal and balance out her sharper features.
@@NaNa-wy2tk You mean Ahn Sohee from Wonder Girls? Iâm korean and actually she is not slanted eyes and high cheekbones in Korean standards. (She has big eyes in Korean standard) And Koreans don't hate all monolids, but we like large and open(?) monolids like Sohee, park boyoung, twice dahyun and this kind of eyes are very rare. I think the face that Korean people think ugly is much slanted eyes, big nose, and a wide face.
I think that she's really attractive. Her face is so balance.
Very balance indeed
@@zerv3334 yess a balance of feminine and masculine features.
Traditional and digital artists, of all the characters on squid game she's the one they really love to draw again and again and again.
Her persona is attractive the way she carry herself and her personality I found it cool âš
I love her eye shape. I think mono lids can be so pretty. Also high cheekbones and her bangs really suit her.
She doesnât have monolids. Itâs actually subtle double eyelids but yes, her eyes are stunning and so captivating!
@@geralaham412 The more you know đ
She actually have double eyelids you just didnât see them well because of the angle.
@@geralaham412 hooded! :D
@@SK-xv1in âHooded asian eyelidsâ đ She just has epicanthal folds, Its not that hooded. She has quite a space between her eyelid and brows + she raises her eyebrows
Loveuhhh she's all natural, didn't change her face to "blend in'' with the "beauty standards" in Asia. She's EXTREMELY GORGEOUS, striking even.
Yeah she admitted having like 4 done
@@emp.1984 where did she admit it
@@emp.1984 4 times? And why still looking like that?
She fixed her eyelids and nose. So far that I know of
wdym by beauty standards in asia???
i think she is one of the most beautiful human beings i have ever seen. she looks almost like one of those really expensive and pretty porcelain dolls.
Porcelain dolls? Iâm Nigerian and when I was added to a group chat all of the girls said my face looked like a porcelain doll. What does that mean? They said it looked smooth and they commented on my striking bone structure ..
@@FlynaijaGuy porcelain dolls are basically just dolls made from porcelain/ceramics. (Same stuff that teacups are made from). Some of them are extremely realistic and beautiful but also incredibly expensive, because the best ones are handmade and painted. They feel really silky smooth. Also because they're made from porcelain they also break easily so you shouldn't give them to young children. When people are compared to porcelain dolls, it most often means comparing them to the expensive beautiful/realistic ones, most of the time to the bjd types. Btw, when I say they're expensive, I mean they're easily over 1000âŹ. Some of them are more expensive than LASIK eye surgery.
@@henrikhaaja1260 oh wow thanks for this break down! Interesting comment they made. Being called a porcelain doll w me being a guy is a bit odd. But considering u said they look good Iâll take the compliment
@@FlynaijaGuy it definitely is an interesting compliment tho. XD
@@FlynaijaGuy idk about other countries and cultures but I feel like this would be a normal thing to say for my grandmaâs generation here in Poland, both my grandmas and my grandmaâs sister called me a porcelain doll when I was a little girl and they wanted to say I was pretty
this was very useful thx!!
I know she was meant to look like âdeathâ given the nature of the circumstances theyâre in throughout this show but even with the exaggerated eye bags, all I could think every time she was onscreen is âwow sheâs so striking.â She still looked like a model onscreen lol at least face wise since we didnât really see her body up close besides when she was in the bathroom picking out the shard of glass that stabbed her in the stomach. She makes eye bags look so attractive. Yes, they made her look tired, but as someone with skin nowhere near as nice as hers I would look more than just a little tired if I had eye bags like that lol.
Exactly I thought she was beautiful
i think the freckles, eyebags, sweat, cuts, shaggy hair etc all made her look much more attractive than she is irl actually (not that she isn't also beautiful irl)
@@kaatyblue idk about the shaggy hair. But yeah
@@kaatyblue sheâs pretty either way but she looks so perfect in general that she still looked bomb with all those âimperfectâ features too!
Yes how can someone look so good when they're supposed to look very bad đ
The first time I saw her I literally stopped what I was doing. Unbelievably stunning.
Right ? I literally sometimes paused the show just to look at her face woooow.
@@akaaayo2546 Me too, haha.
đ idk what u guys are even talking about. I skipped the entire show đ
@@akaaayo2546 Weird af lmao. This comment section is telling of how touch starved everyone is.
Iâm glad Iâm not the only one who instantly gets obsessed over a certain character in a show or movie this has gone to another level đ
Her facial structure is so strong and unique, adding the character that she played in Squid Game is just cherry on top
makes sense why so many women find her attractive then ... even my heterosexual friends were swooning over her while watching the show
@Liessa Abiane i think hoyeon is kind of a mix between feminine and masculine so that's why so many people are finding her attractive
she seems to give off the strong, Brave, courageous, mature kind of vibe and sheâs also pretty tall for a girl. So I think thatâs the reason that a lot of girls are attracted to her more than guys are.
@Liessa Abiane I'm masc into more masc women. So, Sae Byeok, Jung Ho-Yeon's character, was more attractive for me. They are both absolutely stunning, but you are right as in how we find ourselves more attracted to different people.
i like her but thats just the lesbian part of my omnisexuality showing
yâall gotta start questioning that
Honestly the first time I saw her I didn't find her attractive. But man, as the series progressed and I watched her more time on screen she began to look beautiful to me, I could even say that I ended up having a crush with her character. Beyond the symmetry or features I think this girl has something very special.
To me it was the opposite. I hadn't even seen her in trailers, so I didn't even know who she was. But as soon as I saw her I said to my self "wtf this girl is stunning!"
For the series she fit just right. One thing about Koreans is they know how to pick characters and actors . Had squid game been a Hollywierd series the actors and characters wouldn't have matched .
Because you like her personality, not her looks. She actually isn't that pretty compared to Asian women standards. She's like a 6/10, which is still better than me lol but yeah.
@@imtheonehero9305 6/10, do you fuckin hear yourselves? Any man on the planet would cut his pinky finger for a night with her, I have to imagine the girls you go out with are 0,1/10s by your satandards
*Her talent is what REALLY makes her attractive*
I love her undereye bags.
I share some features with her that I've been insecure about, and seeing her become everyone's favorite it girl has really boosted my confidence
Aww
Please keep ur confidence even when her hype dies down and a new look becomes popular x
what features do you share that you're insecure about? her features are technically 'perfect' so i can't imagine anyone feeling insecure about a visual trait they share with her
@@punkbjorkpeople can feel insecure about many things. I feel insecure about my blonde hair, some people might think that sounds stupid and stuff but I actually do. Not because itâs ugly or anything but because it stands out and my whole life Iâve wanted to be like my friends and family and their dark and straight hair.
She gives off âhandsomeâ and âstrong auraâ vibes which is not really common to a lot of people I guess, the same way why kpop guys are striking, theyâre pretty and itâs not that often you see guys that lean towards the pretty side of the scale more than the handsome side.
Depends on taste I guess
@@nataschamcgregorian6313 yeah absolutely, but I also think that a person becomes more appealing to the majority when they manage to pull off both sides of the handsome and pretty spectrum.
Imagine waking up one morning and seeing a video in your recommended that explains exactly how and why you are attractive đ
congrats on the viral vid đ„đ„
I think itâs her gaze. I notice Korean people hate their monolids (well, I assume. Kpop and kdramas mostly show them with double eyelid surgery) but she has kept hers and it fits her well. Her stare screams strength and resilience but sheâs so fragile inside. Sheâs a very good character.
She's a model for a reason. Western brands look for Asians with "authentic oriental looks"
She actually have double eyelid though... They are the "inner double eyelid type"
no, asians praise monolids now
i wouldnât say korean people hate monolids. itâs just that double eyelids is the asian beauty standard
they don't "hate" it. they just prefer double eyelids over monolids as a beauty standard but wouldn't really mind having monolids either.
No mention of the lips, even though puffy lips has long been big in the west to the extent that lips are not uncommonly injected to make them puff up. And that despite the described eastern standard, per photo comparison, of a thin upper lip, this lady has a very thick upper lip, indeed thicker than her lower, which is extremely uncommon. Lips are a very sensual thing indeed. Odd how much this was skipped. Think Scarlett Johansson. Lips count for a lot in beauty.
Thatâs true!
Infact the lipa
contribute to 60% of her attractiveness... without them she would look like an average everyday korean man or woman
I was always mesmerized by her looks!!
Excellent explanation â€ïž
I think she also appeals to Western audience because her eye shape. Smaller eye and the "Cateye" Cathoplasty surgery has become so popular in recent years. I am mixed Asian and growing up I thought my eye shape was ugly, but now so many popular white celebrities have this look.
She is definitely considered way more attractive in the West than in Asia but the again she is a model. A model in the West that is, she speaks English. Korean models look different.
Sheâs a model in Korea too, thatâs where her career began. HoYeon was on Koreaâs Next Top Model as well.
@@hurrianhymn8563 her career may have began in Korea but if you see all of her walks she is obviously in the West
Shes a model in both, relax
Shes a model in both, relax
idk if itâd be possible, but could you discuss faces like ryujin from itzy? sheâs commonly known for being both âhandsomeâ and âbeautifulâ and iâm interested to know how her face and overall vibe contributes to that.
This channel seems nice, subbed
What Iâve noticed is sheâs most popular among women. Im sure she attracts men as well but majority of the praise comes from women regardless of sexuality. In fact many straight women are dawning on how theyâd âgo gayâ for her which I havenât seen that hype from then since ruby rose. I think the attraction like you mentioned is the boyish masculine charm/facial structure that is complemented by the plump lips and high cheekbones.
I'm straight and no.. Not my type
@@rossanascarati2720 then the comment doesnât apply to you, move on
The comment section is wild. It ranges from sheâs ordinary to she looks like every other Korean women. Nah Hoyeon is beautiful. Thereâs a reason why so many viral posts with hundreds of thousands of likes of people saying âthat girl from Squid Game has a beautiful faceâ and we all automatically think of Hoyeonâs character Sae Byeok first.
Well, thatâs because youâre not thinking of the demography. Those who are not familiar with Asian shows are fascinated while those who have seen better looking Asian women are not because they are already familiar with Asian shows.
Nah dude she's just pretty. Both actress looked great.
@@ranzuki101 lol Iâm Asian. I know what Asian faces look like. And considering Hoyeon has won modelling awards in Korea is safe to assume the majority of Koreans find her beautiful too.
@@atano753 why are you so mad at other people not finding her super attractive ? that is the question
@@sososo3366 point to me exactly where in my comments am I mad? My comment mentions there are multiple posts with thousands of likes who find this woman attractive. My second one is a response to assuming I donât know what Asian faces look like when I am Asian. Where exactly am I mad?
I think an anaylsis on some martial artists/boxers faces would be cool, typically very masculine bones and some masculine soft features with some common reoccurring failos
me whoâs the most asymmetrical person ever: âïžđ©âšđ„
Do a video on body weight. Skinny v chubby. How it affects the face. How it gives an impression. How it differs between cultures, etc.
Yes!!
lower body fat will always make your facial features pop and give a more striking look to your face, idk how deep into detail you can go about this. It's a pretty straightforward topic
@@seeneverything5150 Thats what I was thinking. Though I do have a friend who is much more over weight that me, body wise my body is smaller but her face looks sharper. I think when it comes to weight the jaw shape is also important. She had a very small and delicate jaw from the side view but from the front is very sharp and makes her face look slim. While I have a wider jaw even though I have less body weight on it
@@seeneverything5150 it's not that black and white. I have seen so many people who look much better when they are chubby, being skinny gives them the sickly gaunt look, and highlights the Asymmetry of their face even more, whereas having a chubbier face balances it out. It's easier to see the bone structure when someone's skinny and if there's any kind of asymmetry the protruding bones highlight it even more be it the face or the body proportions.
Due to the beauty standards skinny is still ideal, but i think many look much more attractive when they are chubbier than skinny
Tbh I liked her bc her side profile is literally sooo perfect.And that hair in squid game really made her look like an anime/webtoon character. đ
For artists this is a godsend analysis
thanks for the information dude
Iâm glad you mentioned as âEastâ rather than âAsianâ directly since many generalized Asian face as those who looks like Japan-Korean-Chinese when there are middle-east, south and west Asian
Thank you for this!! Honestly when people say â Asianâ itâs literally only east Asia being referred to and not everyone else itâs really annoying
Agreed the term Asian means nothing because Asia is so big. East Asians should be the definitive term.
Oh wow, I didn't know she's gained so much popularity just from being attractive. Although, when I was watching the show, my first impression of her was also that she has really nice facial features. When I found out she was a model, that made a lot of sense.
Sheâs so beautiful. I canât .
Lol, everyone is literally simping over her. She's not my cup of tea, but she does fit the tomboy, active girl that does track at school, cold but mesmerizing "tsundere" stereotype. So the Asian men who're into that, they'd find her gorgeous. But I bet you though, more girls are fangirling over her in the East than men.
Hello there.
because of my mother has cancer she can't work I have to take care of her because my parents are divorced.
I am here because my father dont give us the alimony. So i have to take care of them
Would you like to join us and help me take better care of my mom and sister?
People don't just like her character in the movie, many people also watch her interviews and like her bubbly personality, which contrasts the character she played.
If she's not your cup of tea, then you're a minority, which is fine. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but most people think she's gorgeous. And yeah, definitely more girls are swooning over her.
I just find her attractive my friend, finding someone attractive doesn't mean I'm obligated to be considered simp, why you have also to bring this cringe tsundere stuff? Really i don't understand why someone would be attracted to fictional woman, It's totally different from a real woman
I am a girl...I don't find her pretty or attractive...quite the opposite actually lol!
@@chieuphan5878 I said more girls think she's attractive, not all. Also, you think she's ugly? Jealousy is a nasty thing...lol
