The average length of women's head is also getting longer, just like men. There is hope that 'long face' may become a standard of beauty in the future."
Everyone's head is becoming bigger..
There are also researches proving this
"Korean DNA that can't be overcome? People grew 5 centimeters taller in 42 years, but so did their heads."
"Koreans, Heights and legs are getting longer but head size is also becoming bigger"
Some articles also say that heights are shrinking
"The 'tallest' generation is in their 30's... 174 cm for men and 161.9 cm for women"
