Etymology
The word "eoljjang", literally "best face", is derived from the words eolgul (Korean: "얼굴") meaning "face"; and jjang (Korean: "짱") a slang term meaning "best". The term is often used by netizens for contests competing for the title of "eoljjang", but it has since developed into a subculture or style, rather than a competition event.
[edit]Characteristics
Most eoljjangs share similar features. They usually have large eyes (being the main focus), fair skin, small noses and mouths, as well as the typical 'V' line that most "eoljjangs" get done in surgery[citation needed].
The typical hairstyles include anything from a pixie haircut to very long. Usually including bangs or side swept bangs. More than likely, "eoljjangs" will wear curls, loose buns, waves, and many more other interesting hairstyles that are achieved quite simply.
