Korean's Hairline Unanimity ( 韓國國民髮線 )

The so called Widow's Peak is a V shape hairline on the forehead. In Chinese it's called "Beauty's Peak" and in Korean "forehead's V shape hairline" ( "이마의V자형 머리선 "). As it is a matter of gene, I am not sure how dominant it is in the Korean ethnicity, but I am pretty sure, given that I am viewing hundreds of Korean foreheads every day, I seldom see it ! So is it a matter of gene, or of popularity, that because the Korean people do not prefer this kind of hairline, those who have it tend to hide it or even... remove or change it by cosmetic surgery? Here's a hairline cosmetic surgery ad that probably tells something - it says that client's original hair density is taken into consideration for a more natural result, and 3~4 hours after surgery client are able to leave clinic. Now you have an idea how Koreans can share similarity with each other even in forehead(!), besides double eyelids, nose, chins, cheeks and lips. (source: CeCi magazine Aug 2010)

我又找到一個韓國人都長那麼像的理由了。原來除了五官,髮線都可以整XD
第一次看到這個廣告時,以為是消除美人尖的手術,因為我一直感覺韓國人並不覺得它美,甚至KC曾說它"跟猴子一樣"。這下我才突然想到,路上那麼多韓妹把頭髮往後梳,我好像確實很少看到韓國女生有美人尖,而且,韓妹的額頭好像都長得差不多(本圖手術後的那樣)。那麼,如果韓妹真的比較沒有美人尖,是因為基因的關係呢,還是後天的設計呢?此事尚待研究,不過可以確定的是,這個廣告會這樣打,說明很多韓人偏好手術後的那種髮線。撥開自己的瀏海照了下鏡子...囧,我的額頭好像也是屬於手術前的那種額頭耶,哈哈。
