KARA’s Seungyeon has the ideal body ratio?

Written by On November 16, 2010

A netizen uploaded a picture of KARA‘s Seungyeon, exemplifying that the girl grouper has the ideal body ratio of 1 : 7.5. Standing at 1.6m, she’s of average height, but because of her measurements fans are classifying her as attractive.

Well, I had no idea what this was without doing some research. So it seems, based on a Classical Greek belief, people have been using the length of one’s head (hairline to chin) in relation to full standing height to mathematical evaluate their attractiveness. Fans found that in comparison to Seungyeon, fellow KARA member Jiyoung, who is 5mm taller than her unni, is far beyond any supermodel standards.

Oh netizens, making a mountain out of a mole hill. Don’t get me wrong though, proportion is key and Seungyeon definitely has it but that second bit seems to be purporting that those who’re slightly taller than average need to be supermodel quality or nothing. Touchy. I sense someone’s inferiority complex. Well here you have it… the beauty standards in K-pop.

    Ancient Greeks (and many artists even today) used this ratio as basic and average proportion of human body. And, as this proportion is very common, it’s naturally considered beautiful. When we measured this proportion at the art class almost all people in my class had exactly this proportion (except for some unusually tall guys and girls, who had, like, 1/8 ratio). Btw, Greeks were far more clever in their tastes, if we speak about female attractiveness and proportions, then modern Koreans (well, more then most of modern people all over the globe, to be fair). Look at Venus de Milo.
    So, taking in a account that Seungyeon is not disproportional midget (it takes one brief look to see this fact), I’m very puzzled that somebody counted the obvious thing.

    out of sheer boredom I got out a ruler and measured my head. Relative to height my ratio is 1: 7.95.
    1:7.5 is around the the NORMAL STANDARD range (normal people range between 7-7.5, the majority of people have this ratio, so how is it even a big deal? The IDEAL FIGURE is actually 8.

      yea…it’s 8, at least that what i thought to. *sigh* measuring other people head to their body…sometimes i get jealous with netizens..why dont i have that much of free time…

    The perfect body would consist of some boobies and ass……too bad she barely has any!

    • Roger

      So having a big round moon face and little korean legs, plastic surgery scars, no boobs nor ass, and you’re perfect…… FOR WHO?

      • lisa

        perfect bodies don’t need to have supersized boobs or ass. i think medium/small sized are fine for your average dude–just as long as proportions are right. seung yeon’s a skinny girl in general.

        seungyeon is gorgeous. those who say she isn’t “all that” need to take a reality check–by looking in the mirror. jesus.

        life isn’t fair, what can you do.

        seungyeon is natural too. take that haters! ahaha.

    am sorry but I don’t see what the fuss is about she isn’t all that, plus her legs could do with some work.
