Eoljjang, also spelled as
Ulzzang or
Uljjang (
Korean pronunciation: [ʌl.tɕ͈äŋ]), is a popular
South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". Originally used as a slang term, this word in the English lexicon has evolved into describing a person that follows specific style of fashion. Direct translation for the meaning Eoljjang is; Eol-: (prefix) A slang for "face" or "Based on face". It's derived from the Korean word "Uhl-Gool" "얼굴" And Jjang-: (suffix) a slang that means "best" or "the best at/in" Unlike the term "Eol-" the term "Jjang" can be used as a noun that simply means "the best".
