Say hello to future Miss Korea!

Her name is Ddung and she's four years old. Her dad is a doll designer and her mother is an underwear designer so she and her family spend a lot of time in their underwear. Her dad made her a stuffed piggy that she wanted from the store but her Mom wouldn't buy her. She has a cartoon that you can watch on her official website. It is super cute! She also has lots of wallpapers that you can put on your desktop. I have the August calendar on my desktop right now!

She has a special message for you. It is very sweet.

If you want your own Ddung baby you can get her from various places including eBay. She comes in different sizes such as twelve centimeters (4.7 inches) and eighteen centimeters (7.1 inches). She has many different fashions and playsets and is really a very sweet girl.

I think one of the things to note about DeeDee is that her twelve centimeter version is very similar to the American Kelly doll. They are close in size, though, not in appearance. She would fit very well into a dollhouse for Kelly or dolls around that size.


In the above photo, well, it's not exactly Ddung but she is very similar and she is standing next to a "Kelly" imitation. The doll on the right has the style of the Kelly doll before she became a Chelsea doll. 

So, this doll on the left, though she is not an exact Ddung is a good candidate for size comparison because she is also twelve centimeters tall. 
You might notice in the picture this particular doll has a cellphone strap on her head because she is a phone charm so you can take her anywhere. Pretty cool. One annoyance about this particular doll (in my opinion) is that you cannot take her clothes off. It is attached with super glue. I might attempt to remove it later. For now, I'm just going to let it be because she is very beautiful.

Fortunately, if you buy a real Ddung doll her clothes should be removable and you can make or buy new clothes for her to wear so she can have fun new looks.
