Arti 'Ulzzang'


Akhir-akhir ini sedang populernya kata 'Ulzzang' di dunia maya, khususnya Facebook. 
Yuup ! bagi K-popers kata ini sudah tidak asing lagi, secara donk, Ulzzang itu berasal dari Korea :D
Tapi bagi kamu yang masih belum tau, masih bingung, masih ragu-ragu, udah lupa or pura-pura lupa (?) :D mari kita kupas tuntas dalam artikel ini ! :D
So,,, Apa sebenarnya arti 'Ulzzang' itu ? 


From Wikipedia: 
Eoljjang (Korean: 얼짱), also spelled as Ulzzang or Uljjang , is a popular South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". Originally used as a slang term, this word in the English lexicon has evolved into describing a person that follows specific style of fashion. A person desiring eoljjang status would gain popularity on the internet through entering contests where their photos are judged and chosen by voters, though many became well-known eoljjangs from having popular Cyworld accounts  or have gained popularity in school for being attractive. 
Many eoljjangs model for popular Korean fashion websites, and some have entered the Korean entertainment business and have since risen to stardom.

Although the word originated in South Korea, followers of such trends could be seen in Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe, the United States and Canada.

The word "eoljjang", literally "best face", is derived from the words eolgul (Korean: "얼굴") meaning "face"; and jjang (Korean: "") a slang term meaning "best". The term is often used by netizens for contests competing for the title of "eoljjang", but it has since developed into a subculture or style, rather than a competition event.

From my opinon:
Ulzzang adalah tren sebutan untuk cewek/cowok di Korea yang memiliki best face dan best fashion style. Ulzzang di Korea dapat menjadi terkenal di dunia Entertainment atau menjadi model. Sebutan 'Ulzzang' sendiri berasal dari Korea, tetapi beberapa negara lain juga ikut menggunakan sebutan ini, termasuk Indonesia. Ulzzang di Indonesia mulai terkenal sejak tahun 2011 lalu. Awalnya muncul beberapa Fanpage Facebook yang mengadakan kontes Ulzzang, sehingga terpilihlah beberapa Ulzzang Indonesia yang pertama. Yang aku tau, Ulzzang Indonesia pertama yang paling terkenal itu Kim Shi Yue.
Sampai sekarang, sudah mulai bermunculan FB pages yang mengadakan kontes Ulzzang. Mereka yang memenangkan kontes Ulzzang menjadi terkenal, walaupun itu hanya di dunia maya. Tetapi mereka yang belum menang tetap enjoy dan terus mengikuti kontes lainnya. For me, mengikuti kontes Ulzzang yang terpenting bukanlah kemenangan, tetapi hanya sekedar 'just for fun'.
Dengan mengikuti kontes-kontes Ulzzang termasuk battle Ulzzang dengan bersaing secara sportif dengan peserta lain, maka secara tidak langsung kita dapat menambah kepercayaan diri kita, dengan kata lain kita menjadi lebih Pede. Itu salah satu keuntungan kita mengikuti kontes Ulzzang.

so, udah tau arti Ulzzang kan ? terus tunggu apa lagi ? log in ke Facebook kamu, and ikutin kontes/battle Ulzzang sekarang juga !! :)
Untuk artikel selanjutnya, akan dibahas mengenai Ulzzang tools :)
keep in touch guys !


Thanks

Shinee (/ˈʃn/ SHY-nee; Korean: 샤이니; Japanese: シャイニー; more commonly known and stylized as SHINee) is a South Korean contemporary R&B boy group under the management of SM Entertainment.[1] Formed in 2008, the group consists of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin. They made their debut on May 25, 2008 on SBS's Inkigayo with their single, "Replay".
Since their debut, Shinee has released three full-length albums (in Korean language; with one being a separate double-album release), four mini-albums, one live album and various singles. They have also won many awards, held three concert tours and starred in their own reality shows. Shinee is considered to be a fashion icon having started the "Shinee Trend"[2] and are known for their highly synchronized and complicated dancing.
They made their Japanese debut on June 22, 2011 by releasing a Japanese version of their single, Replay,[3] and gained the title "The artist who managed to get in top 3 for 3 continuous releases since debut" for the foreign artist category. Such an achievement had never been gained by anyone else ever since the single ranking chart was established 45 years ago, in January 1968,[4] followed by their first Japanese studio album, The First on December 7, 2011.[5] Their second Japanese album, Boys Meet U, was released on June 26, 2013.
