soebaby 12 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The first Miss Korea beauty pageant reminiscent of the current contests was officially held in 1957, though selections for ‘Miss Korea’ dated back to as early as 1952, and Korea making its debut in the Miss Universe pageant in 1954. Pictures from the early years of the annual national beauty pageant show that contestants were judged based on a procedure similar to what we’re familiar with today, with several judging phases which required the ladies to wear different outfits. In the 1970s to 1980s, women with fuller faces and figures were preferred, but when it got to the 1990s, smaller faces with sharper outlines were considered to be the most beautiful. In the 2000s, the trend seemed to shift towards healthy, lean figures and characteristic faces. Though the standard for “beauty†changes over time, some of these past contestants still stand a good chance in today’s pageants.

21jumpstreet 390 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, and when westerners look at a KPOP group and say they all look the same they are called racist. But seriously, nowadays they really all look the same because of the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almondandlime 6,854 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Plastic surgery has existed for a long time though. You can't say that none of them got any surgery, even though it was much less common back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicon soul 19,457 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hmm, even before the surgery thing, barring a few exceptions they had a very homogenous look with round faces, similar hair and all that. I guess the whole ideal beauty standard has been in place for a very long time (though the ideal beauty itself has been evolving). I think she looks pretty, sorta like Lee Hyori And she looks like Victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
