Subculture Description: Ullzang
The subculture Ullzang has evolved from the a Korean slang word, made up of the words "face" and "best" mashed together - summoning the meaning, "best face" or "good-looking." The subculture is based on having a "naturally" pretty face, with a casual but good-looking sense of style. The make-up used for Ullzang is supposed to make you look like your beauty is effortless with the use of thin eye-liner and natural colored make-up (concealer, nude lip colors, etc...). A person desiring Ullzang status would enter contests to be judged for having the best (most naturally beautiful) looking face. Or, a person can earn Ullzang status by being popular in Korean schools for being pretty. Some people who have been labeled with the Ullzang status go on to become models for fashion magazines, or rise to stardom. This style originates in Korea, but it has also spread to other parts of Asia. The term can be used for males, females, or couples! The Ullzang age range begins at middle school (about 10-ish) to late high school, early college range (up to about 21). I can't imagine the Ullzang style being expensive, seeing that the point is to look naturally, and casually beautiful. Light make-up and cute clothing is worn to give off an innocent appearance. I would say, if you are trying to be super hardcore Ullzang and are trying to compete in contests, you might need a GOOD camera, and possibly access to a photo editing program (like Photoshop). The idea behind the Ullzang style is being cute, innocent, and natural-looking without much effort. The Ullzang style is generally an Asian thing (if you look up Ullzang, you will find mostly Asian models in Ullzang style), however, the Ullzang style has been spreading to other cultures lately.

Ullzang Subculture: Rough Thesis Statement
The Ullzang Subculture is the dividing line between South Korea's emphasis on being naturally beautiful and innocent on the inside and out. Because a subculture like Ullzang exists, the discrimination that outsiders (non-Ullzang candidates) face will be long-lasting.
