Real height of actresses

Not just the acting world! In the US, people love to add a couple inches to their height. It's real cute when guys tell me they're 6 feet tall but my 5'9" self can see the top of their heads. Girls do it too sometimes. I think it's a sort of status symbol for a lot of people and I've heard it's similar in Korea.

Is she really? That's interesting, thanks for sharing!

Indeed, I can understand a few centimeters, but some times they go so overboard it's ridiculous

Thanks, at least I'll get a point of reference!

Haha human rulers this hilarious somehow thanks for sharing but yeah there are lots of ways to heights except from heels

Oh, yes I know. I've also been on filming sets in Europe, so I know how they work. It's just that when actors/actresses choose to lie about their height, is usually a one or two cms, only to help with casting, but it looks as if in these cases, they rounded their height more than 5-6cm

yes, thank you! 😂 In all of the photos, videos I've watched, I noticed the shoes of both leads and it's one of the reasons I came to this conclusion. I'm 1.58 and one of my best friends is 1.87 and if you see us side be side, there is a shorter height diference than PBY and Park Hyung Sik (1.83m) in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

Compare PBY with LKS here. She is wearing heels in the photo. I would assumed PBY without heels would be at LKS torso.

It's the same.

Ah, yes, good point as well! She seems to have "helped herself" with a few extra cms

How is KJW with Park Seo Jun & Jin Goo?

Not to be that one but some people looks taller or shorter with diffrent people , I mean I am not short nor very tall either 171 cm but when I am with my friends that are quite shorter than me I kind of melt into the background and look to have a similar height I think this is partly because I slouch a bit which these actresses would never do with their perfect posture but partly is because of maybe body build, like I have long uppertorso byt "shorter legs " in comparison to my upperbody so that probably plays into my length camouflage like the friends of mine that are kind of stronger and have more mucles ( this also gives them a lot better posture then me) seem to be almost as tall as me or sometimes even taller even though they actually are shorter than me , If I were to stand next a person to person that was quite taller than me, for example my younger sister that is around 6-8 cm taller than me I would look a bit petite even though I am not mostly because (and I am not proud to admit this and trying change it : I am just skin and bones) but since I not in fact so much shorter said tall person I will kind of blend in

Wow I really made that complicated but the moral of the story was it is difficult to compare peoples length with just the naked eye other factors as bodybuild, dimensions and like even hair matters ( I am constantly wearing a ponytail guess that adds a cm or not?)

That's very interesting, thank you!

Oh, big height gap is my weakness! I always say, that I want tall bf coz it's convenient to wear any heels, but I know, that I won't wear them everyday and just we'll be cute petite girl near him😊 btw, I think it's better to be short, than tall, everyone think you are cute, so don't be shy👌

But cuteness and convenient are not only options😂 https://pm1.narvii.com/6928/f4010f5df8ebf8f88fb0d6ade81d3def49f30899r1-1024-851v2_uhq.jpg

Oh, I know! This has really made me feel much better about my height as well.

Wow, Kim Yoo-jung is (presumably) taller than the actresses you mentioned. She feels like she should be shorter than 165 cm.

I'm sure there must be cases of actors rounding their height to an inch or so, however, since 85% of the male actors in KDramas are quite tall, I don't think they need it as much as the actresses. Do you have anyone in mind?

Yes.

Most actor and actresses height in Korea (and America too by the way) are exaggerated.

For example, OP talks about Song Joong Ki. He is not 178cm which is 5'10". He was on Running Man and it's pretty clear his height is somewhere around 173-175cm which is 5'8"-5'9".

Lol. Are you serious? Asians are not all the same. Same as Europeans. Some are shorter, some are taller. E.g. Koreans and North Chinese are generally tall, the tallest Asians and taller than South Europeans on average. Japanese for example are relatively short on average height. North Europeans are on average taller than South Europeans or Americans except for people from former Yugoslavia.

Lol yes! Jisoo makes Rose look like a giant

No oppa for me, though I understand why there's this wave of women and girls fangirling over them. They are excellent actors/singers etc (most of them) and quite good looking.

Before I started this discussion, I hadn't thought of men adding up centimetres or inches to their height, as it seemed as something not necessary, but after people started pointing it out, I find it quite possible.

You have a point about her not being 151cm because of the comparison with the group members you mentioned, however in the photo from the press conference, she is wearing 15cm heels, whilst Kim Seulgi is wearing 12cm. (Also, it looks like Kim Seulgi is a few centimetres shorter than stated).

I know, you will ask how can I know this. As I consider my self short as well, I own over 20 pairs of high heels, from 10cm to 15cm, so I can tell which is which. Now about her legs and torso length, the camera angle and the height of their heels really help them look much taller than they are. In conclusion, as you said, I realize that she might not be 151cm, but she's definitely not more than 154cm.

Also, if you do the math, her supposedly being 158cm, wearing a 15cm shoe would make her 173cm. Jo Jung-suk is mentioned to be 175cm (which seems to be true), so she would only be 2cm shorter than him. And in that photo there's a much bigger height difference than 2cm, I would say around 7cm. Again, if we take 2cm of Jo Jung-suk's shoes, the difference would be around 5cm.

I feel like this meme where the guy is analyzing information on a white board 😂
