Removing all content that has no source, it's hypocritical to remove content that has sources when more than half the article has no sources. Those links weren't opinion. Those Facebook pages denoted content that is found in those countries. Tag: Possible vandalism |

Many ''ulzzangs'' model for popular Korean fashion websites, and some have entered the Korean entertainment business and have since risen to stardom. |

== Etymology == |
|||
The word ''ulzzang'', literally "best face", is derived from the words ''eolgul'' ({{lang-ko|얼굴}}) meaning "face"; and ''jjang'' ({{lang-ko|짱}}) a slang term meaning "best". The term is often used by netizens for contests competing for the title of ''ulzzang'', but has since developed into a subculture or style, rather than a competition event. And Momzzang(similar Concept Ulzzang) is similar except "mom" (pronounced mome) means body--this is used for people with great bodies.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} |
