What do they mean by that because maybe the word translated into English is 'plain', but maybe the meaning for them in Korean is kind of different? idk =]


Someone who isn't ugly or isn't like model material pretty, but just your average type of girl. I would think 'plain' personality would lean a bit more towards 'good' personality rather than 'bad' personality, wouldn't you think?
And since we're
