🇰🇷 What Does “Your Face Is So Small~” Really Mean? 😶‍🌫️👏

👋 Hey there~

Hi everyone 😄
How has your week been?
Today, we’re going to talk about a slightly unusual expression you’ll only really hear in Korea! 👀✨

And the topic is…
“In Korea, is it a compliment to say someone has a small face?” 🤔🧠
Let’s find out!

🤔 “A small face? Wait… is that an insult?”

Actually, no!
When someone says this in Korea, they’re not criticizing your face size —
it’s actually a very Korean way of giving a compliment!

In Korean beauty standards,
both men and women often consider a small face to be attractive.
Why?
Because a small face makes your legs look longer and your body proportions look better overall!

So when someone says:

“Your eyes are huge and your face is super tiny!”

They mean it as the highest praise! 😆

💡 Korean Language Tip

• “You have such a small face!”
  • → A compliment about your appearance!

• Similar English expressions:
