Uljjang, also spelled as Ulzzang (UHL-JANG), is a popular South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". A slang often used by netizens, contests competing for the title of uljjang are held online. They are often thought of as Asia's scene kids, because they have teased hair, the main focus of the make-up is the eyes, they take many pictures and edit them and have the same stereotypical poses.

Some teenage uljjangs grew famous provoked by their looks, and became part of the Korean pop culture. Some of the successful uljjang stars include: Kyu Hye Sun, Lee Kiseop of K-pop boy band U-Kiss, Lee U (Lee Seung Hyun) of K-pop boy band F.Cuz, Hyo Min od K-pop girl group T-ara.
