Ulzzang ({{Korean|hangul=얼짱}}, {{IPA|ko|ʌl.t͈ɕɐŋ|pron|Ko-얼짱.oga}}), also spelled as eoljjang, is a popular South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". A person desiring ulzzang status would gain popularity on the internet through entering contests where their photos are judged and chosen by voters. The trend is unisex and is practised by both males and females.{{cite web|url=http://ulzzang.net/how-to-be-an-ulzzang |title=How to be an Ulzzang |website=Ulzzang.net |access-date=2021-03-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701072939/http://ulzzang.net/how-to-be-an-ulzzang |archive-date=2017-07-01 |df=mdy-all}}
