10 Idols With Mysterious & Unique “Sambaegan” Eyes

There are many myths and legends behind these eyes.

Sambaegan is a Korean term used to describe eyes which have the sclera (white area) visible on the left, right, and bottom. You may have heard eyes like this referred to by their Japanese name, sanpaku, in the past. Traditionally, sambaegan were thought to represent a physical, physiological, or spiritual unbalance. These days, however, they’re recognised for what they are—mysterious, unique, and just as beautiful as any other. Just take a look at 10 idols with this eye type.
