Why is this number so special? Well, 17 refers to the age of Hazel-eyed model/actress Go A-ra(17) as well as the length of her face! So you are probably asking - what’s the deal with having a small face. Well, everything! Having a small face is one prerequisites of beauty in this country - check out all the stars, most have small faces. Small face size is something that is difficult to attain unless you are born with it or have undergone painful jaw reduction surgery (for a rounder/heart-shaped face). So many people talk about face size and compare their size with everyone else’s- including stars. They are fascinated by those who are both beautiful and those who have small faces (the beautiful are assumed to have small faces). Perhaps the small-face phenomenon is a direct result of the stars from the western world having smaller faces. Similarly, the near national obsession with plastic surgery is for the purpose of attaining more western features - larger nose, bigger eyes, and slimmer face. West is not always best. Why can’t we just accept ourselves the way we are?
