Several fans chimed in with how her appearance in real life really accentuated her proportions. "I saw her in real life and was shocked at how good her proportions were. Her face was seriously small."
Others also made comments comparing her appearance on screen with how she actually looks in real life. "I saw her a few times at work and she looked the same as she did on screen though... Even on TV, you can see how sharp her nose is."
Others were surprised by how small her face seemed to be in public events. "I saw her on a stage greeting and her face was seriously freaking tiny."
Recurrently, people pointed out through that thread that stars with well-balanced proportions always tend to look even more striking in real life compared to pictures or videos. Many also agreed that the look of Jeong Somin is just about the same when viewed from a distance and when on screen; her fans say that she looks even more impressive in real life.
The continuous debate reflects a broader trend in online communities in Korea, where fans constantly contrast how celebrities appear on camera and how they look in less-than-ideal, everyday settings.
In the case of Jeong Somin, many will say that even camera technology still fails to capture most of her features, thereby giving people who have seen her live much renewed admiration.
