i have the same exact thing :!
i think mine are a little worse but the reason why we get those (from my experience, and what my friends tell me, etc etc,) is the way we sit
to me, cross legged is really hard. I can sit like that, but after a while, it gets tiring and uncomfortable. But i try to sit cross-legged now, because I'm hoping it will correct my legs.
When I was little, I sat like (if you look bird's eye view, your legs make a "W")
do you sit like that sometimes? and it's really comfortable?
people with the "o legg" can do this without hurting themselves,
but ppl that don't have it can't sit like that.
if you don't want that kind of legg, don't sit like that anymore

i dunno if that picture explains it, but if you do sit like that, you'll get what it means

idk, yeah, they look pretty normal to me...but my nutrition teacher says, stuff like that may be the result of vit D deficiency, except, it's hardly impossible for something like that to happen except for those who don't go out in the sun at all since vit D's from the sunlight...so..

my sis' legs are kind of like that, but it could just you're too skinny?

hm, i notice it's more common among east asians: chinese, japanese and korean.

although i have seen black and hispanic people with it. more rare among them, though.

i guess you should see a chiropractor and get the braces for it?
or try the plastic wrap thingie?
i unno.

feels like i n s o m n i a.

I have crooked knees. That's probably why I walk funny. And it feels funny when I run. ohmy.gif
But my mom said that if you build up the muscles right above your knee (inner, outer, and above... am I making sense?) then your legs will get stronger and will look straighter. I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a try. mellow.gif

omgg i always thought my legs were just like this cause they were super skinny...and i always wear shorts..omg after reading this thread i feel way concious about my legs now since they are pretty badly bowed....i mean worse than yoona's. i never thought too much about my legs but i did know that my knees were crooked, like my legs aren't straight, they go like squiggle and when i stand together it makes an 0 shape..i thought i just needed more meat in the knee area. gosh it makes me look so wobbly and weird when i walk T_T. now i really want straight legs..so i won't look as awkward. gahgahgah

VV picture of my legs i dug up from about a year? i'm not as skinny anymore but my legs are still bowed =(

Yeah, I guess. My mom told me that babies are usually carried on the mom's back, tied up and everything so often the legs get messed up-- so when I was a baby my mom said she didn't do that and massaged my legs so they would come out straight.


both my sis and i were carried like that when we were babies, but our legs came out straight

I have that! And I guess a lot of my friends do too. I didn't even notice until now. I bet it's an asian thing. I don't really think it's anything to worry over.

am i more than you bargained for?

i heard that doing yoga can help straighten them. but i think it will take lots of effort and determination.
something about strengthening the muscles of the legs.. can't remember.
