Mastering The K-pop Smile
Won-young Smile
According to the TikTok video by @l_yuhann, Won-young creates her smile by moving her chin and the area below her lips, instead of using the muscles in her cheeks and eyes.
This can be a good smile for people with rounder faces, as it can make round faces appear slimmer.
However, @l_yuhann points out that this smile might look a little forced because the majority of your face would not move much.
Jennie Smile
Blackpink’s Jennie has a smile that melts hearts!
According to @l_yuhann, Jennie creates her adorable smile by using her cheek muscles to pull the corners of her lips outwards.
This technique is especially flattering for those with wider mouths. So why not try it out and see if it brightens your smile too?
Rosé Smile
Also known as the vertical smile, this smile uses the muscles of the cheeks to pull the lips upwards into the eyes.
It compliments longer and thinner faces as this smile shortens the mid-face!
While K-pop smiles are undeniably captivating, remember that the best smile is the one that feels most authentic to you. Explore different techniques and find what flatters your own facial features and personality.
After all, a genuine smile is always the most beautiful!
