Seungyeon of idol group Kara confessed
that she often wore 5 inch heels in an attempt to appear taller. On
variety program Strong Heart, the
pretty member remarked, “I think the one thing you need to have as a girl group
member is tall height. When you are taller, you look better, your clothes fit
better, and your presence is different.”
She
continued, “I’m the shortest in the group, so I look as though I have no presence.
Because of this, I have always stubbornly chosen to wear the highest heels and
have fallen and slipped a number of times, as a result.”
Wearing
high shoes has also had a toll on her physical well being. “I started wearing
5-inch heels, and I started feeling pain in my ankles. I went to
the hospital, where they told me that the high heels were becoming too much for
my ankles to bear,” she added.
She
explained that she began to think more about whether or not she needed to
continue wearing heels when she read an article about how she and Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk were considered to be average
height in Korea. “I’m 160cm, and I am of average height for a Korean
female,” Seungyeon added. “My friends are just too tall, it’s not that I am
short. I decided to think optimistically.”
