K-pop Representation in TC Candler's "The 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2022"

what a strange list. anyway, i'm not sure how much i can trust it since they think pokimane is prettier than bona

This is so much "huh?" energy

Nana, Sitala and Nancy appearing from literally nowhere honestly to be in the Top 10 just confuses me.

Whats the criteria? How is it judged?

Looks like they just made sure all of BlackPink was in - then randomly selected the rest of the list around them. I can think of twenty Korean idols off the top of my head who deserve to be on this list more than most of the selections. Not to mention many Chinese actresses who could fill up most of the top ten.

Nana still deserves #1, though, even after all these years.

This list was probably made by a SEA kpop fan lol

It's one guy that makes the list. Basically choosing whatever he wants.

It's usually centered around how many fandoms he can milk for exposure and clout throughout the year.

Why does anybody care about what this one random dude with no credentials thinks again???

Milking them valuable and super active H1-Key, Momoland and After School fandoms for sure

Kpop fandoms wet themselves monthly over those weird Brand Value reports, which are the same thing.

The fact that this list is maid by some rando is soooo and the fact that kpop stans take it as real ranking list

The fact that he put a problematic girl at N° 5 says it all

where is my mother

where is my mother

It is a one person's list. It is what the Candler guy feels life for the particular year.

Minji should be on the list

Yeah it's totally normal for 1/3 of the list to be kpop

very cool, very normal thing to make

Nana is still top 10. I agree.

And is Nancy still around? I haven’t seen her (or her group) this year.

I wonder what the list looks like for guys if that’s out yet.

Interesting

Quote from wsoet

Twenty top K-Pop faces left off the list - in no particular order:

LOONA: Jinsoul

LOONA: Heejin

SNSD: Sooyoung

SNSD: Taeyeon

Red Velvet: Irene

APink: Naeun

GFriend/VIVIZ: Eunha

GFriend/Soloist: Yuju

(G)I-DLE: Miyeon

aespa: Karina

ITZY: Ryujin

Rocket Punch: Suyun

AOA: Hyejeong

T-ara: Hyomin

Everglow: Yiren

I could probably come up with fifty more, given time.

When I saw the name of the Chinese actress Gulnazar, I got flashbacks of a drama I watched with her in it. She played the main role and played a princess who got engaged to a guy who was about to die when she was a child. The guy was played by Lu Han. I didn't expected to see her on the list but it makes quit sense cause she is very pretty

h1-key leader of 4th gen

not sure why people take even pay attention to the list since it's just based on internet popularity and whatever gets social media impressions. There were no kpop idols on the list until the rise of kpop's global popularity and now over 1/3 of his list is kpop idols.

TC Candler, the creator of The Most Beautiful Faces started it in 1990, this is the 32nd year of the List, he is an Independent Critic and Magazine Writer, while the Judges are from different parts of the World whom are in the same Industry.

It has nothing to do with Kpop but as part of a Social Media process, Kpop and Koreans have appeared on it since Gangnam Style.

Especially since he brought in SNS submissions, then voting for them, however that only gets people considered, not get them on the List

Unlike most other annual beauty rankings, The List is not popularity contest and is most definitely not country specific. It is not about the sexiest body or the most famous celebrity. Rather, the list attempts to inform & broaden public opinion instead of reflecting it. You will find superstars and new stars, global sensations and relative unknowns.

The Independent Critics are a diverse group of approximately 20 people living in various parts of the world, organized by TC Candler, who search far and wide, listening to the many millions of suggestions submitted by the public over the past couple of decades, and they then put together a list representative of the modern ideal of worldwide beauty. - The Independent Critics

It's still a bunch of random people ranking celebrates, this so called tc candler existe since the 90's yet no one has heard of them or take their ranking seriously and the presence of kpop idols means that all they care about is clout, they put a controversial girl at number 5 which says a lot about them

You really should teach yourself about this list because it's NEVER needed Kpop Idols but due to Kpop Fans, they've shown the Judges just how beautiful Kpop Idols are.

You should join the homophobes and racists that attacked RM

Jisoo deserves to be number 1... or was it Tzuyu
