eoljjang

1 definition
#1 TOP DEFINITION

얼짱 — someone with an exceptionally beautiful or attractive face. From 얼굴 (face) + 짱 (best). Before Instagram, eoljjang culture on Korean websites like DC Inside was where teens posted photos to be rated on their looks. In K-pop, idol faces are constantly discussed and ranked using this framework.

Example
Cha Eun-woo is consistently ranked an 얼짱 even by non-fans — the beauty standard discussion around him is practically a standalone internet genre.
