aegyo sal

A term used in Korea referring to the small, puffy fatty deposits underneath the eyes that are said to give a person a more youthful appearance.

Commonly seen in artwork from non-Japanese East Asian countries, such as Korea and China. Certain fashion styles also often use lower eye makeup that accentuates this area, such as gyaru and jirai kei.

In contrast, most Western cultures see these raised discs of flesh under the eyes mostly in elderly people and associate them with poorly-aging seniors, makeup being geared to make eyes look more deep-set and the skin around them smoother.

Do not confuse with bags under eyes.
