Examples

  • 2015 Eye Candy: Sexy and cute 'bagel girls' All K-Pop Combining the words "baby" and "glamour," the term "bagel girl" refers to a girl who has a cute, baby-like face and a hot, glamorous body.
  • 2015 Men Who Yearn to Be Erect, and the Women Who Bear Them Korea Expose The much-touted ideal of South Korean female beauty, the so-called beigeul-nyeo or ‘bagel girl’, is none other than a woman who has a ‘baby’ face and a ‘glamorous’ body, combining the innocence of a child and the allure of a porn star to represent the ultimate object of male desire: a virgin-whore who will seduce but harbour not a shred of her own will. She is that girl who will give in even as she stays still, saying no yet carrying out her expected duty.
