    It's not hard to mix up Korean girls. They have the tendency to think that one type of face is prettier than the rest. So they asked their plastic surgeon to modify their face to look less like a traditional Korean face and more to this particular preferable face. As a result, they all generally have the same face. It's really hard to find a Korean celebrity who has never gone under the knife and even if they tell you they were natural beauties it's most definitely a lie. Then again, plastic surgery is not a taboo in Korea, so Ai-chan doesn't know why they would lie about it.

    They do lie about it
    but it doesnt look like Plastic surgery to me
    Something came to mind when I saw Kim Dasom of Sistar in a drama
    She has a chin that is usually associated with "bitch face", kind of like those who have no chin or something
    and she is a Kpop star while I read about a British girl who had plastic surgery to fix her "bitch face"
    Beauty is subjective, on both Korean actresses, I am not sure if I could say it is due to plastic surgery since their faces are more round instead of the pointed shin you get from those who usually do plastic surgery.
    The more common plastic surgery is the double eye lid one which I have to be fair and say it is really no different from those with cleft lip
    I cant really criticize someone for doing double eye lid surgery
    I just find it sad when 18 year old girls in the US get breast implants when they are still growing..

    This girl wanted to get butt implants but the doctor put in breast implants in her butt haha

    Do you perhaps remember some of the books with interesting descriptions? :aww:

    lololol don't you watch quite a few dramas? It's funny xDD I'm not too good at telling Asian faces apart either but after watching some dramas, you normally get better at it, right? Although there are some similarities, I wouldn't say these actresses look that similar :blobjoy:

    It depends on the pictures, I was too lazy to check harder

    Li Qin and Li Yitong lookalike

    For Cho So Hyaang and Shin Hyesung, I had only seen one of the actresses, Cho Sho Hyang in only one drama and then saw a second drama by Shin Hyesung whom I mistook for her.

    It is a similar situation with Li Qin and Li Yitong, I had only seen Li Qin in one drama or two(second one was over a decade old) and just discovered Li Yitong but I am a comedian, I can't make people laugh unless I exaggerate but I have found a few dopplegangers

    I will send you a link via inbox

    I tried to find a good example, but couldn't quite find the keywords I wanted. This is all the same actress, but to me it looks like 3 different people. If I compare the 2nd and 3rd picture side by side for a while I might guess they are the same person but I wouldn't put money on it.

    Exactly this. I mostly blame my poor memory and/or lack of care when it comes to most people, but it can take me a while to recognise even family outside of home.

    This reminds me of a video where Koreans try telling western celebrities apart. I'm gonna put it in a spoiler so it takes up less space


    Alright on to the pics. There were 4 rounds. Try to see if you can tell them apart xD

    I get what you are saying. I thought the second photo was Arianna Grande until I read your post and realized it was all just photos of Jessica Alba.

    Photoshop, editing and lighting play a large role.
    Makeup is also a lot more advanced than people care to admit

    Prosopagnosia is a reason why one night stands and paternity tests can be issues!
