What's her name? She's on these comedy shows a lotm and has a commercial for laptops in which she wears a hanbok. Is that baby voice an attraction to Korean viewers? She's beautiful but I can't stand it when she speaks.

There used to be a Korean teacher at my school, excellent English, assertative, confident.

Then she'd get on the phone with her boyfriend and put on this pouty, baby-talking act.

I couldn't stand it.

Maybe it's Han Ga-In.

She's on a butt load of commercials, shilling for washing machines and veggie drinks, etc. She talks in this ridiculous little child's voice.
It drives my girlfriend crazy. She farkin' hates her so much.

I have to admit that the shtick of baby talking, no matter how good looking the girl is, gets freakin' annoying after about 10 seconds.

This chick. 현영 (Hyun-young). Fairly attractive, but that voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Think I figured out the identity of this annoying actress after sifting through some star profiles at the Arirang web site

http://www.arirang.co.kr/KidsnYouth/Star_Focus2.asp?code=Ki3&STAR_SEQ=373

Hyun Young




edit: doh, a little late LOL!

She even made her way into the music industry - this year, Hyun Young debuted as a singer! With the high-pitched nasal voice we've grown to love, and some sexy moves - she released an album with an addictive title track, �What a Woman Wants�.

Hyun Young's perfect curves prompted a fitness video, that's even set to be sold in Japan! She's all smiles now, but her current good fortune didn't come easily.

Turning intense dislike into enthusiasm is quite a task in itself, but that's Hyun Young for you! Disarmingly charming. Everyone wants a piece of this star, and we asked HER directly, why she thought that was -

Truthful. Straightforward. Proud. And an infectious vivacity. Only some of the traits that placed her at the top of today's world of showbiz. She's only JUST beginning.

It's hard to compare Hyun Young with any other hot star we've seen thus far... But one thing's for sure, beneath that bubbly facade (fa-sahd') is one helluva woman!


Hard to tell from the pic . . . is she one of the singers in the group "거북이"? One of the better racks money can buy.

edit: the women in the pics seoulsucker and snowmeow posted look nothing alike.

Before it died, The Yangpa did a piece on her.

Female Comedian Noted For Her Hilariously Firm Breasts


Quote:
Comedian, actress, and singer Hyeon Yeong has been making waves recently in the Korean comedy scene for her hilariously firm breasts and uproariously tight buttocks. �She�s got everything you want in a comedic actor,� said entertainment analyst Park Jeongho, �A good rack, long legs, and a nice ass. Makes me smile just thinking about it.� After dreamily staring into the distance for a few moments, Park recalled some of her signature jokes. �There�s this one where she makes a goofy face and then bends over. Phukking witty, that one.�

In addition to acting in Korean soap operas and being a 5-time Sexy Dance Contest champion, Hyeon Yeong also recently had a hit with a Korean version of the �Numa Numa� song on her 2006 album �Welcome to 2004″. Says Hyeon Yeong, �I�ve always wanted to be a comedian. When I was a teenager, I�d practice: doing situps to make my stomach flat and a lot of jogging to shape up my ass.� Analysts expect Hyeon Yeong to easily make the transition to a serious actress because of her remarkable ability to convincingly portray a woman with a nice set of ta-tas.

No not her it's Hyeon Yeong.

She sounds like Korea's answer to Jennifer Tilly.

That's Han Ga-in.

Just listen. Many Korean girls have ugly voices. I'm not talking about the whining ones either. I'm talking about the ones with those deep, husky voices. Or the ones hwo sound bitchy.

Baby talking Korean woman?

Sounds like she's on the other side of the wall of every love motel room I've ever stayed in.

Whimpering too.

Do any of the girls mentioned above speak fluent english?
I come across "Star Golden Bell" sometimes on the telly and there's a girl who has to guess the word that the contestants are trying to tell her in their best english. She speaks korean and english (fluently I think) and has a pretty awful baby voice as well. She looks like a middle schooler, but is she one of the above people?

Yeah, I think I know the show you're talking about. It has half-celebrities sitting in a row, and thy describe the picture behind her in "English"/Korean? If that's the case, she's kind of cute, and based on her accent I'd say she speaks English fairly well. I don't think she's one of the one's pictured (or at least not the one talked about by the OP).

Then maybe she's not beautiful? In general the visual attraction of East Asian women is they are adults that look like girls. Of course that fantasy falls apart once you actually get to know them and realize they're just women who look like girls.
The Koreans know that. And the baby voice is the Koreans laughing at themselves. It's a joke. Sure she's on a comedy show and now she's playing up the baby voice thing - makes sense.
