I think it's a shot that they get when they're children. My parents both have one and we aren't even Korean so I don't think it's just a Korean thing.

Yes, its vaccination shots. Koreans have a big fat one. While Japanese have like 6 small ones in a rectangular pattern, that's barely noticeable.

^^it's most likely a smallpox vaccination. they're given with bifurcated needles and a "take" involves a scar formation. otherwise, they might administer it again to make sure that the vaccination took.

edit: found a site with a picture of the needle used. also, you can see that it's usually given in the upper arm, so that's why you'll usually see the scar there.

Yeah, it's a smallpox vaccinnation. I have one on my left shoulder. I took it when I was really really really young, so I don't remember how much it hurts. These days, the scar left from the shot becomes invisible after a while. Mine didn't. >.<

I was wondering about this too. I see a lot of female stars have it on their upper left shoulder.

I have one of my left arm as well, but the scar is hardly visible. I got the vaccination when I was 12. Not sure what it was for. Tongue

I was going to say that I have one too, but then so many beat me to it. Mine is not too pronounced anymore, since it is about 30 years old, but at one time it showed quite well. Maybe we could start an inoculation club. Eh… maybe not... Whistling
