셀러브리티들은 한 시대의 지배적인 문화를 형성하기도 하며, 새로운 유행을 선도할 수 있는 영향력을 가진 대상이다. 서울 패션 위크에 참석하는 국내 여성 셀러브리티들은 자신만의 패션 미학을 대중들에게 노출함으로써 패션 리더로서의 이미지를 구축하기도 하며, 컬렉션을 개최하는 패션디자이너들의 브랜드 홍보 및 판매를 촉진시키는 결과를 창출한다. 본 연구는 최근 5년간 서울 컬렉션에 나타난 여성 셀러브리티들의 패션 스타일의 분석을 토대로 여성 셀러브리티들의 패션 경향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 내용분석에 따른 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직선형의 스트레이트 실루엣, 무채색의 활용, 문양이나 장식이 없는 경우가 높은 비중을 차지하고 있음에 따라 셀러브리티들은 모던하면서도 미니멀한 스타일을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 슬림 실루엣과 프린세스 실루엣, 원피스 드레스나 스커트의 착용, 부드러운 소재나 러플의 장식을 통하여 전통적인 여성미를 드러내는 페미닌 스타일을 선호하고 있었으며, 원피스 드레스에 재킷을 매치한 형태 또한 다수 나타남에 따라 남성미가 절충된 시크 페미닌 스타일로의 변화를 시도하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 박시 실루엣, 화려한 컬러들이 믹스된 멀티 컬러, 반짝이는 소재와 그래픽이나 레터링의 문양, 다수의 디테일이 높은 비중을 차지하고 있음에 따라 유행의 선도자로서의 강렬한 존재감을 드러내는 맥시멀 스타일을 추구하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the impact of appearance pressure from celebrities' social media upon internalization of mesomorphic ideal and muscularity dissatisfaction and the moderating role of time spent on social media in the relationships among variables in a sample of young Korean men (N=247). Those men who regularly participate in physical activities more than three times a week were included in our sample. Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that celebrities' social media pressure directly influenced both internalization and muscularity dissatisfaction, and internalization predicted muscularity dissatisfaction. A significant mediating effect of internalization in the relationships between celebrities' social media pressure and muscularity dissatisfaction was found. However, the moderating effect of time spent on social media was not found. The present results highlight the significant and negative effects of celebrities' social media on male's body image perception. By comparing the results of this study to previous studies, we can anticipate that the effects of social media on users' body image concerns can differ between male and female in the matter of time spent on social media. Implications of the study results and suggestions for future studies are discussed.

본 연구는 아름다운 얼굴의 시대별 특징변화를 관찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 얼굴을 구성하고 있는 물리적 요소들은 매우 복잡하여 얼굴 특징별 분류와 명명이 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 얼굴의 감성모형을 활용하였다. 얼굴을 물리적 특징만으로 모형화 할 경우 다차원의 복잡한 공간으로 구성될 수밖에 없으나 감성공간으로 모형화하면 2차원의 공간에서 압축하여 설명이 가능한 장점을 가지기 때문이다. 연구의 범위를 한국의 여자 스타들의 얼굴을 중심으로 2006년 현재 매체 빈도수, 인기 검색 Site의 검색 순위, 신뢰성 있는 조사기관의 인기순위 등을 기준으로 하여 조사하였으며 연령은 20대에서 30대 초반으로 규정하였다. 또한 시간의 변화에 따른 아름다운 얼굴의 트렌드 관찰을 위해 2001년 박수진 등의 연예인 얼굴 DB의 스타얼굴과의 비교 관찰을 통하여 최근 5년간의 변화를 살필 수 있었다.

PURPOSE. We aimed to identify a more esthetic width-to-length ratio by analyzing maxillary central incisor of Korean adult population. Information regarding tooth ratio in the Korean population may be useful to clinicians when restoring anterior teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 40 men and 40 women were included in this study. The NON-MEDIA group included 40 non-celebrities, who were healthy and 25 to 39 years old, with normal dentofacial appearance. The MEDIA group consisted of 40 celebrities selected only on the basis of their soft-tissue facial appearance. The facial photographs of 40 celebrities were collected from the Internet websites. The width and length of the maxillary central incisor were measured using Adobe $Photoshop^{(R)}$ 7.0, a software for analysis, measurement and edition of photographs. Data were analyzed statistically using the Independent t-test at 5% statistical significance level. RESULTS. The mean ratio for the MEDIA group was 0.77, whereas that of the NON-MEDIA group was 0.88. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. No significant gender differences were found in the width-to-length ratio in MEDIA group. In NON-MEDIA group, however, there were significant differences between female and male. CONCLUSION. After analyzing maxillary anterior teeth of Korean adults, our results were in accordance with the general Western standards of esthetics. A dentist restoring the natural look and beauty of teeth will have to consider those standards.

This study investigated the evaluative criteria and information sources of functional clothing according to gender and age. A total of 756 responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, MANOVA, and Duncan's test. The main effect of gender on the evaluative criteria and information sources of functional clothing was identified. Compared with male consumers, female consumers gave more importance to price and aesthetic criteria. Female consumers take advice from colleagues and companions, as well as use information obtained from mass media to a greater extent than male consumers. Age was seen to have an effect on evaluative criteria and information sources in purchasing functional clothing.

이 글은 작년 하반기 아이유 4집 앨범 발매 이후 벌어진 일련의 상황을 사례 삼아 최근 걸 아이돌에 대한 부정적인 대중 감정의 내용과 논리를 드러내고자 했다. 그간 팬덤 연구의 흐름은 스타에 대한 동일시와 그에 기반을 둔 팬덤 커뮤니티 형성에 초점을 맞추었지만 최근 '안티팬덤'이나 연예인에 대한 '악플' 현상은 이들에 대한 적의나 샤덴프로이데(타인의 불행을 기뻐하는 감정)와 같은 부정적 감정을 다루어야 할 필요를 제기한다. 샤덴프로이데는 공적 평등과 사적 소유 간 모순을 특징으로 하는 근대 자유주의에서 배태되어 '능력주의'를 중심으로 이 모순을 극대화하는 신자유주의에서 심화되는 사회적 감정이다. 오늘날 연예인은 종종 샤덴프로이데의 대상이 되는데, 이는 연예인이 본질적인 자질보다 '유명하다는 이유로 유명해지는' 방식으로 존재하게 된 상황과 관련이 있다. 또한 샤덴프로이데는 남녀 연예인에게 다르게 작동한다. 근대에 이르러 존재 자체가 남성의 사적 소유물로 위치되었던 여성의 '성공'은 섹슈얼리티를 이용한 '불공정한 자원 획득'으로 여겨지기 때문이다. 이는 현재 한국 사회에 만연한 '여성혐오' 문화의 배경이기도 한데, 이러한 맥락에서 아이유의 '여동생 아이돌 아티스트'로서의 성공은 젠더화된 샤덴프로이데의 적절한 대상이 된다. '페도필리아(소아성애증)'라는 명명은 작금의 여성주의 성폭력 정치가 직면한 교착상태를 반영하는 측면이 있지만, 아동성폭력/학대의 구조적 원인에 관심을 두게 하기보다 개인의 유명세에 흠집을 내는 추문으로서 작동한다. '아이유 사태'에서 '페도필리아' 규정의 작동 방식을 '성 정치의 샤덴프로이데화'로 본 것은 이 때문이다. 결과적으로 이 용어는 연예인 주가의 상승과 하락을 반복하며 장을 넓혀나가는 연예인 경제 지속에 기여하게 된다.

Background This article aims to investigate current perceptions of beauty of the general public and physicians without a specialization in plastic surgery performing aesthetic procedures. Methods A cross-sectional and interviewing questionnaire was administered to 290 people in Seoul, South Korea in September 2015. The questionnaire addressed three issues: general attitudes about plastic surgery (Q1), perception of and preferences regarding Korean female celebrities' facial attractiveness (Q2), and the relative influence of each facial aesthetic subunit on overall facial attractiveness. The survey's results were gathered by a professional research agency and classified according to a respondent's gender, age, and job type ($95%{\pm}5.75%$ confidence interval). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS ver. 10.1, calculating one-way analysis of variance with post hoc analysis and Tukey's t-test. Results Among the respondents, 38.3% were in favor of aesthetic plastic surgery. The most common source of plastic surgery information was the internet (50.0%). The most powerful factor influencing hospital or clinic selection was the postoperative surgical results of acquaintances (74.9%). We created a composite face of an attractive Korean female, representing the current facial configuration considered appealing to the Koreans. Beauty perceptions differed to some degree based on gender and generational differences. We found that there were certain differences in beauty perceptions between general physicians who perform aesthetic procedures and the general public. Conclusions Our study results provide aesthetic plastic surgeons with detailed information about contemporary Korean people's attitudes toward and perceptions of plastic surgery and the specific characteristics of female Korean faces currently considered attractive, plus trends in these perceptions, which should inform plastic surgeons within their specialized fields.
