Have you ever heard the quote “The soul can speak through the eyes, and kiss with
a look.”
Indeed, people often call eyes the window to the soul because they’re the most sincere
part of the face.
But what if different parts of the eye were windows to a person's fate?
That's what some people who follow the Asian tradition of face reading say about the capability
of sambaegan eyes.
While normal eyes only have the sclera on two sides of the cornea, sambaegan eyes are
a little bit more special as they have the white part on three areas, including above
or below the iris.
According to physiognomy, an ordinary, healthy person has the colored portion of the eye
balanced in the middle.
But with sambaegan eyes, the iris sits a bit higher or lower toward the eyelid, it’s
regarded as a sign of physical, physiological and even spiritual imbalance.
In the past, there were various celebrities having these sambaegan eyes such as Michael
Jackson, Princess Diana, Hitler, Napoleon, Audrey Hepburn and Abraham Lincoln, coincidentally,
they all lived quite a disastrous life.
Explaining this, according to Asian face reading traditions, sambaegan eyes give a hint into
the dreaded fate of the person.
It’s said that this one has committed sins against the order of the universe and they
were therefore sick, unhappy, insane, or as what the West has come to call 'accident prone'.
Basically, having sambaegan eyes is a warning, a sign from nature, that one's life is threatened
by tragedies that are about to happen very soon down the road.
However, as everything changes, the dark stories surrounding this special type of eyes don't
seem so correct nowadays.
As science serves as a more influential factor in this day and age, this superstition is
gradually replaced by the belief that the fate of a person is determined by the way
they think and act instead of some divine forces.
Good or bad, happiness or suffering, it’s no longer about the shape of eyes but human
behavior and conscience.
Most interestingly, sambaegan eyes have become a new standard of beauty that is recognized
for bringing mysterious and attractive looks for various famous idols.
Let's take a look at these 10 famous kpop idols who have these unique eyes that add
their charisma even more charming.
G-Dragon Though G-Dragon has experimented a lot with
his hair and outfits, one thing that will always stand out is the charming piercing
gaze from his sambaegan eyes.
Combining the hidden double eyelid with the sclera visible on the left, right, and bottom,
he exudes a bold and mysterious vibes.
Thanks to his unique sambaegan eyes, GD could also turn even the cutest boy-next-door image
into something sexy and peculiar.
Interestingly, though the eye doesn’t affect his life much but to a certain extent, GD
seems to share some similarities with Audrey Hepburn because his love life is also quite
erratic.
As the members of BIGBANG once exposed him in a 2016 interview, GD’s love life just
made no sense at all.
They also added that the reasons BIGBANG’s love songs are soakingly sad is partly due
to the failure of GD’s in dating.
V V’s charisma is obviously irresistible.
One of the reasons helping his appearance become phenomenal came down to the uncommon
sambaegan eyes.
Though V’s eye shape is visibly asymmetric, the fact he owned this special eye feature
has made his gaze ten times queerer and more captivating.
What’s more interesting about his eyes is that while an ordinary person would either
have doubled or mono eyelids, V has both characteristics where his right eye’s lid is mono and left
eye’s is doubled.
Combining V’s round, short face shape—a typical trait that is often associated with
cuteness, and these cold, mysterious sambaegan eyes, he often finds it easy to switch from
the bright extreme to the other dark, fierce end of the spectrum in literally a blink of
an eye.
While he could be joking around with his members during stand-by, the moment the song starts
playing, his gaze shifts and he goes from Kim Taehyung to BTS's V. Even his fans have
to admit that he is indeed BTS’ “King of facial expressions”.
With this special eyes feature, V stirred up the internet for the mysterious and vampire
vibe when being the ending fairy of BTS.
Lisa For many people, when the topic about sambaegan
eyes popped up, the high chances are they immediately think about BLACKPINK’s Lisa.
Since she possessed Barbie look with super-duper big and round eye shape, her iris and cornea
sits a little bit higher toward her upper lid.
In fact, her eyes are so big that even when she has contact lenses on, there is still
plenty of sclera visible.
More interestingly, though being an Asian, Lisa doesn’t have epicanthic fold, instead
she has outline double eyelids - the feature that is more commonly seen in people of Caucasian
descent.
With her big, doe eyes as well as the defined nose bridge and plump lips, anyone who sees
Lisa for the first time may think she’s half Caucasian.
Sehun (EXO) The sambaegan eyes seem to be a common feature
of Kpop's top visuals when the maknae member of EXO also owns this type of eyes.
Combining the features of sambaegan eyes with the slender and long eye shape, Sehun gave
off an eerie, sexy and mysterious look, like a romantic fiction character.
Combining the sharp jawline, bushy eyebrows and the special stern and sharp gaze, there
has always been something irresistibly attractive about Sehun that no one could take their eyes
off.
Sunmi Throughout her solo career, Sunmi has always
been a gorgeous and smart woman who knows exactly how to express the dark and hidden
side of her through just a gaze.
Sunmi is also known to have one of the best resting bitch faces, and her sambaegan eyes
must have contributed a lot to that.
While G-Dragon and Sehun possessed eagle-like sambaegan eyes, that of Sunmi is said to look
like a fox.
Sometimes when looking at the camera, her eyes look as if they were dipped in honey
but the other times, they could look as cold as ice.
Hwasa (MAMAMOO) Here comes another maknae that owns these
special eyes.
Despite being the youngest member in MAMAMOO, Hwasa has always been the symbol of sexiness
partly thanks to her signature sambaegan eyes.
As Hwasa knows that she owns special eyes with the whites visible on the below the iris,
she often wears heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow as well as false eyelashes to draw all the
attention to the unique pair of eyes.
While those of Sunmi simultaneously emit the sweet and cold vibe, the sambaegan eyes of
Hwasa remind people a lot of a mamba due to the freezing gaze.
With the appearance, especially facial features, that breaks all standards of KPOP, Hwasa is
considered to be a new “sexy icon”, Hwasa even stands out more thanks to those sambaegan
eyes.
Haechan (NCT) The next artist in this list is Haechan (NCT),
a relatively new face on the K-pop scene, but has already made an impact thanks to his
impressive vocals.
This male idol also possesses the unique sambaegan eyes.
With this pair of eyes, while most idols often give off fierce and mysterious vibes, that
of Haechan is more of a bright and soft gaze.
Except for the times he puts on smokey makeup like this, his sambaegan eyes don’t make
him look as fierce as G-Dragon or Sehun; instead, he still gives off a kind and the-boy-next-door
vibe for having a round and short eye shape.
Besides, as his facial structure also has a similar shape, you sometimes wouldn’t
be able to notice his special sambaegan eyes.
Minnie (G)I-DLE Several (G)I-DLE members have sambaegan eyes,
but Minnie‘s are some of the most alluring.
Even more special, she also has a unique feature that is heavy-lidded cat eyes, so every time
she flaunts dramatic makeup, her visuals would look ten times more charming and mysterious.
While Minnie shared the same name with Disney’s Minnie Mouse, she obviously gave off a totally
contrasting feeling.
Instead of possessing that typical cute and pinky vibe, her gaze is deadly sharp and bold
because of the large proportion of sclera in the eyes.
In fact, this white part takes up so much room that even when having contact lenses
on, her sambaegan eyes can still be easily recognized.
Minnie’s fans humorously warn that her eyes are truly mesmerizing so just try not to get
lost when you catch her gaze.
So, sambaegan eyes are believed to bring bad luck to the owners but the above 8 idols have
proven the opposite.
Just look at them, they are beautiful, have a successful career and a full life.
