f(x)’s Sulli recently attracted a lot of attention after a picture of kisaeng Lee Nan Hyang (1900-1979), who was born a hundred years ago, was released.

The picture was uploaded on an online community board under the title of “kisaeng Lee Nan Hyang who was born at the end of the Joseon Dynasty.” She was a very popular woman at the time for her pretty face and singing ability.

When she became one of the most popular kisaeng, she married to a newspaper reporter and became a housewife. However, she was so enthusiastic about singing that she received a song from Ha Gyu Il, a popular composer at the time. With the enthusiasm, she recorded the first album with the songs she received from Ha. What attracts the most attention from people is that she resembles Sulli.

Both have big eyes, drooped eyelids, small lips, sharp nose, and milky-white skin.

People who saw the picture responded: “Sulli and Lee Nan Hyan really look alike.” “Isn’t a picture of Sulli superimposed on the picture?” “Is Sulli reincarnated as Lee Nan Hyang?” “I was so surprised by the picture.”

other than having similar eyebrows and mouth shapes i don't see it.

“Is Sulli reincarnated as Lee Nan Hyang?” --> dear netizen, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Super confused why this article isn't just using Kisaeng/gisaeng. It's not like Korean doesn't have a word that means "Korean woman of questionable virtue who performs as a means of obtaining a living". They don't need to use the Japanese term. :/

'small' lips? What?

Date: 2012-12-26 09:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 0nlymemories.livejournal.com
I think it's referring to how narrow her mouth is? Like, her lips are really full, but her mouth isn't very wide? (I could be completely wrong about this, but a lot of descriptive terminology doesn't really translate all that well. Like the "small face" business.)

I'm sure everyone either had or has someone who looks almost identical to them somewhere in the world.

I commented on the wrong post, but it's fixed now.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, that's one hell of a resemblance.

Maybe the nose and mouth?

Netizens think of everything though, damn. I wasn't reading history textbooks in high school thinking "damn that random picture they put in to make sure I didn't get bored of all the words really looks like Britney Spears!" (not comparing her to Britney, that's just what would have been relevant to me at the time lol)

its scary how much they look alike

I don't really see it. The resemblance became much more apparent the more I looked, but it still doesn't seem particularly striking or noticeable.

They're both beautiful, though.

She does has a drooped eyelids, I mean the kisaeng. It's not often that I see a person with drooped eyelids!

I just google it and apparently, it's not normal to have it? :O

Wow. That's weird.
I don't think Sulli has droopy eyelids? But she does look eternally sleep-deprived because she has really full lower eyelids that remind me of eye-bags.

Oh wait, maybe one eye looks a bit droopy.
