After School's Nana was picked as the number one most beautiful face according to one website, and South Koreans got very excited.
On Sunday, the K-pop idol known as Nana (Im Jin Ah) was chosen as the most beautiful face in the world by American film critic TC Candler. The Korean pop star and model landed atop TC Candler's annual 100 Most Beautiful Faces list and became the number one trending topic in South Korea following the news.
This is the second year in a row that Nana made headlines for appearing in the number one spot on the list.
TC Candler, the self-affirmed creator of the list and film reviewer, also included several other Korean entertainers on the list - TWICE's Tzuyu (No. 13), Girl's Day's Yura (No 17), Girls' Generation's Taeyeon (No. 24), actress Go Ara (No. 36), Girl's Day's Hyeri (No. 40), miss A's Suzy (No. 45), Fiestar's Jei (No. 48), former Girls' Generation member Jessica Jung (No. 57), actress Song Hye Kyo (No. 67), Red Velvet's Seulgi (No. 71), and Secret's Song Jieun (No. 99).
The same website also published a list of the 100 most handsome faces, which included members of Big Bang, Super Junior, 2PM, and several South Korean actors.
TC Candler publishes a list each year highlighting the most beautiful and handsome faces. Since the inclusion of K-pop artists, the list has trended each year in South Korea despite gaining little relevance overseas.
The Most Beautiful List does not disclose what parameters were involved in creating the list.
