In Korean?

Just wondering. If any of you could tell me the nice ways and the evil ways to say it, that would be appreciated.

Some people are good to me here and "compliment" my American face. Also, some people here say some things that I can tell are not too kind. I would like to be able to reply something about their faces - in return.

Thanks!

If you say 얼짱 (ol-jjang) it kind of means 'best face' without going into any detail.

Nice for a woman = v-line aw-gool. (v-line face...they assume thin faces are beautiful).

As an insult just say keun-mari. Big head is an insult. As you know (haha) a small head is prefered to a big one.

Or you could just learn some adjectives, and learn face and just add them together. You do work with Koreans correct? Why not ask a guy you work with how to pick up the radies.

People tell me, "you look like a movie star". I respond, "I know."

my freshman HS girls have been calling me that recently. I had no idea what it meant until I looked into it. It basically means "hottie" in K-slang, based on facial appearance.
