[Korean Slang] #21 쌩얼(Bare face)

Mirinae
May 13, 2024

Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #21

How often do you wear makeup?

For a healthy skin, it’s important to remove all makeup at the end of the day and give your skin some time to breathe

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans say “bare face”.

쌩얼 is a shortened word combination of ‘생 (Raw / Bare)’ and ‘얼굴 (Face)’, which means ‘bare face’ or ‘a face without makeup’.

Derived from 생얼굴 → 쌩얼굴 → 쌩얼, the word ‘생’ became ‘쌩’ because of its strong pronunciation.

Examples

A: 요즘 화장하기 귀찮아서 쌩얼로 다녀.

I’m too lazy to wear makeup these days so I just go out with my bare face.

B: 나도. 그게 피부에도 더 좋대.

Me too. That’s even better for your skin.
