KOREAN FACE:
Korean faces are far more difficult to find the best specimen.
One reason is that korean picture in the old age are not
many. But the korean faces in current populatoin are
more ;likely a product of plastic surgery.
Some public polls suggest that in korea 22.2% of total female population
underwent the surgery on their faces. There are no statistics on
men's faces but it is supposed that many korean celebrities are
indeed not natural faces.
In Japan the rate is 2.7% of total female population. In china, the
figure is not so different, but the most popular tour from china to korea
is the surgery pack tour where chinese can get the better treatment
with the modern facility.
One example of Korean surgery is the current Korean President Roh
and his wife.

The best representative Korean face we can get is indeed this face:

Let's now look at KOREAN population who is thought be most related to modern central japanese. Their phenotype is known to be closest to Mongolian (South Sibelia).
Average (not necessarily typical) Korean face
http://www.andongkim.com/articles/20...koreanface.htmKorean scientists allegedly produced what they call, "the average Korean face". The Korean Institute of Science and Technology information (KISTI) working together with the Catholic Institute for Applied Anatomy made computer tomographic scans of Koreans last year and with the aid of a supercomputer produced a "digital Korean" -- a 3-D video of the average Korean's physical structure.
Do you see much differences from the northen japanese? They don't look like above japanese, esp northernmost and southernmost japanese, do they?
I am not to deny or support the facial surgery, but
Korean high profiles with respect to facial surgery
make the study on Korean face more difficult than
any population in the world.
If I dare to make any summary of Korean skulls, jaws are squared, and but possibly narrow. However, the genetic result shows that they are far more highly mixed with Chinese population, so many of korean are indistinguishable from Chinese. Surface level of eyes to the eyebrow are generally similar to Chinese, although Korean has the even stronger epicanthic fold and a deep single eyelid which can only be fixed with surgery.
Instead of posting Korean politician's pics which look to have the more Chinese features than native Altaic Tunguistic features, I will post some modern popular actor's photos, which seem to be original inhabitants in the Korean Peninsula

These faces are quiet similar to some tribes of Mongolia, and this is the reason why Korean is known to be the earliest descendants of Mongols.
KOREAN FACE: thinner, lighter eyebrows, flatter faces and noses, rounder faces, and the rear parts of their jawbones are more square
