Men in Heights

Subtle Height
Subtle Height

It is common to see female idols wearing sky high heels to show off their long legs to enhance their looks and appear more appealing. But did you know, many of the male idols do it too?

It is not surprising that that sometimes when you see your favourite idol on TV, they appear to be gargantuan, but when they come to our shores, their eyelines does not seem to far from ours. Are they fixing their heights on their bios? Are they taking a shrinkage supplement to get them down from the heavens (in our heads)?

Taeyang!
Taeyang!

Maybe! But maybe the real secret is that they are wearing these things in their shoes called kkalchang! Kkalchang are insoles that are created for men to increase their heights. Seoulistic has the insole insights.

This is not to say that only Korean idols do it… Japanese idols are also guilty of this charge. In Japan, where the height of men and women are almost similar, it is no wonder that Kitashima Shoe Company has cleverly invented a business shoe for men to wear that has insoles and heels that would increase a man’s height up to 7CM!

Now, all you vertically challenged men, maybe this is a solution for you!
