The golden ratio is said to be the beauty standard that many people desire and also
a standard measure used to evaluate and decide whether a face is beautiful or not.
Surprisingly, many female idols after getting their face edited according to this ratio,
are said to not only fail to look prettier but also lose their inherent beauty as well.
Are you curious about how these idols look after being adjusted to the mold?
If so, let’s spend some time watching our video to see how they change before and after
the golden ratio.
1.
Jang Wonyoung (IVE)
Jang Wonyoung has been dubbed one of the most outstanding visuals of the fourth-generation
female idols.
If you look at these pictures, you can tell that Wonyoung really deserves that title for
her chic and princess-like visual that every girl dreams to have.
Every feature on her face is so perfect that Wonyoung is even mentioned as a “beauty
standard” by many plastic surgeons.
However, that perfect visual quickly disappeared when Wonyoung's face gets edited to the golden
ratio.
Not a single soul ever understood why it became so horribly distorted like this:
As you can see, Wonyoung's big innocent eyes are now replaced by other ones that are both
slanted and disproportionate since her right eye is abnormally stretched and looks extremely
irrelevant to the other eye.
Her nose is shrunk hard, making it look deformed as if the female idol had a failed nosejob.
What’s worse, somehow Wonyoung's pretty heart-shaped lips are replaced with ones that
look like they've been injected with too much filler to the point they got swollen, making
Wonyoung’s smile so weird and unnatural.
Not only that, the female idol’s perfect V-line face after being adapted to the golden
ratio became bigger and rounder as if she has gained ten kilos.
Her temples are inexplicably narrowed and stretched, making the whole face disproportionate
as if Wonyoung is a victim of plastic surgery addiction and her princess-like image completely
vanish in the eye of netizens.
Therefore, fans asserted that Wonyoung’s face is even more perfect than a golden ratio
one and that not everything by common standards is better.
2.
Karina (Aespa) Since debut, Karina has always gained great
popularity thanks to her unprecedented beauty in SM Entertainment history since her visual
falls to the sharp and sassy end of the spectrum while almost all the others possess sweet
and bubbly appearances.
Possessing harmonious facial contours that really suit Knetizens’ beauty taste including
a small face with V-line chin, big round eyes and high nosebridge, Karina becomes one of
the favorite faces in the Kpop industry.
That's why many people believe that the combination of her inherently beautiful face with the
golden ratio is beyond perfect.
However, the result seemed to be quite disappointing:
To be more specific, after applying the golden ratio to Karina’s face, it can be seen that
the female idol’s visual has several significant changes yet for the worse.
The most obvious change is that her face has become noticeably rounder and chubbier compared
to the original one as if she had gained a bunch of weight.
Her chin is also significantly shorter, making the V-line shape, which is the signature of
Karina, totally disappear.
Not only that, the female idol’s nose and lips also seem to be enlarged, making her
look ten times less elegant and to this point, fans can’t even recognize their idol anymore.
What they received was a strange, scowling and somewhat disproportionate face since the
ratio of all the facial features is too severe, for example the eyes are too small for the
face while the nose takes up too much space.
Thus, fans and netizens all agree that Karina's original face looks much more harmonious and
appealing without the golden ratio.
3.
Winter (Aespa)
Another female idol who is said to lose her natural beauty due to the golden ratio is
Aespa’s Winter.
For Winter, the fresh visual, gentle facial features as well as the puppy vibe of her
could account for the reason why she is believed to take charge of the visual position in the
group.
But as her face was edited to the golden ratio, these distinctive facial lines seemed to be
taken place by some unexpected weird ones.
Looking at this “before-after” photo, we can easily notice that the female idol’s
face has become remarkably shorter with smaller and more slanted eyes, thinner lips and wider
mouth shape, which don't seem to fit in with other features on her face.
And have you noticed that the distance between Winter's eyes and eyebrows is significantly
reduced, making her look much more fierce and witchy, totally different from her usual
tender image?
Not to mention how the golden ratio adds to the female idol’s face with such a prominent
jawline, ruining her inherent softness and femininity.
Looking at "the golden-ratio Winter", fans couldn't help but get startled and chilled
because it felt like the female idol was glaring at them as if something was getting on her
nerves real hard.
It can be said that Winter’s pure and innocent beauty has totally disappeared in this picture,
instead she appeared malignant and manipulative.
4.
Yuna (ITZY)
No one including haters can ever object ITZY’s Yuna being given the visual position of the
group because of her extremely stunning appearance with a doll-like vibe and a bright smile which
has become her signature.
Moreover, it is her big doe eyes that is exactly the icing on the cake.
Yuna’s sharp yet bubbly visual has made her even more unique and outstanding in the
midst of female Kpop idols.
While everyone thought nothing could overshadow this visual, Yuna's fans edited her face according
to the golden ratio and made things out of hand.
It could be seen that Yuna seems to have turned into a completely different person in this
picture as both her nose and jawline are questionably enlarged to the point they look rather puffy.
In particular, not only the tip of Yuna's nose but also the bridge of it was exaggeratedly
enlarged, making the female idol look as if she had just put a bunch of plaster on her
nose.
And her V-line chin is now turned into a man's since it looks rather rough and crooked.
And yet, just like Winter, Yuna's eyebrows are also lowered closer to her eyes, making
her gaze seem scowling and annoyed.
Really, to this point, no one can even wrap their head around the fact that a popular
beauty standard, which is supposed to make people become prettier, made Yuna like this:
5.
Yeji (ITZY)
Though ITZY‘s official visual is Yuna, fans still believe that Yeji is another member
whose visual is well-suited for this position!
This is because the female idol possesses really gorgeous face with cat-like features
that make her look super posh and sassy.
It can be said that Yeji is the only female idol on this list whose face is not ruined
when being adjusted to the golden ratio since her facial changes are not too severe.
Some noticeable changes are the lips which look thicker, the nose looks bigger and the
eyebrows are less slanted.
When observing closely, many even pointed out that Yeji's edited face is very similar
to Blackpink's Rosé since the main vocalist of Blackpink also possesses thick lips, monolid
eyes and a slightly large nose.
Although those changes are said to make Yeji’s facial features become more harmonious than
ever, from which she exudes an elegant and approachable charisma, they make her chic
and unique vibe to be significantly reduced.
Looking at this photo, people can see that Yeji looks like any female idol with thick
heart-shaped lips and trendy horizontal eyebrows.Meanwhile, fans are used to the image of a luxurious
and haughty Yeji with sharp slanted eyebrows and thin lips.
Thus, they believe that the golden-ratio version of the female idol looks way less attractive
and impressive than the original one and they love Yeji the way she is.
So, which female idol on this list do you think has the worst “golden-ratio face”?
And why does this popular beauty standard make our girls look worse?
