[Exclusive] Announcing Soompi Ulzzang 2014 + Accepting Submissions NOW

What’s up, Soompiers!

You know what’s coming- we’re proud to announce our yearly tradition Soompi Ulzzang! This year we teamed up with TS Entertainment, home of popular acts Secret, B.A.P, and more!

Just like our previous sponsored agencies Sidus HQ and Nega Network, TS Entertainment will be offering an interview for the TOP 3 male and female ulzzangs (six in total)! As always, the winners and finalists will be determined by audience vote, but TS Entertainment has the right to reserve contestants to move onto the next round.

“Ulzzang” is a shortened word for “best face” in Korean. A lot of the ulzzangs came about because of their awesome selca (aka selfie) skills. We’ve compiled some of the most popular Korean selca poses, which you can see below!

ABOUT SOOMPI ULZZANG

We hold the Soompi Ulzzang contest every year. What started as a small informal competition in the members 411 forum grew over time into an annual tradition with hundreds of participants and the ongoing sponsorship of Sidus HQ. However, the concept remains the same – simply put, it’s a looks contest. Members vote for the contestants they find the best-looking, and after several rounds, the top-voted male and female are awarded the prize!

HAVE A QUESTION?

If you have any more questions, please refer to the Soompi Ulzzang 2014 forum thread. Check it for the latest updates, and you can feel free to discuss the contest with other contestants as well!
