Who’s the Fairest Kpop Female of Them All?

A select group of Korea’s top plastic surgeons was recently gathered together and interviewed by tvN. Topic of choice? They were asked to rate kpop’s finest females and determine who among them is the most beautiful.

To determine this, surgeons utilized a specific 10 point rating system: 10 points for the overall image, another 10 points for their facial features, and a final 10 points for their figures. That’s a grand total of 30 points for beauty! Let’s go through the list, shall we?

Kicking things off for us is 4Minute’s poppin’ queen HyunA with a measly 8 points. Ouch! With only ten points more, SNSD’s Tiffany is up next. Kara’s Nicole and After School’s JooYeon both garnered 19 points. SNSD’s Yoona fared much better in comparison to Tiffany, scoring 22 points along with T-ara’s Jiyeon.  Second place belongs to 2NE1’s selca master, Sandara Park, who scored 23 points.

Dara: You got that right! =)

Lee: Dara-ah! You’re my number 1! =D

So who is the most beautiful kpop female according to these surgeons’ standards? With a grand total of 25 points, it’s none other than the Wonder Girls‘ leader, SunYe!

News: Editors Name 2NE1 as Best Rookie Group

The public attention is focused on this year’s rising stars!

The Korea Online Newspaper gathered two of their editors and asked them about their take on the different stars that they think have the most rising emphasis on the entertainment industry.

This Year’s Top Rookie in Drama – Lee Min Ho as Go Jun Pyo

This Year’s Best Rookie Group – 2NE1

Editor Park: The best rookie for me this year would be 2NE1. At first, when they were called the “Female Big Bang,” I was skeptical that YG would market them to ride in Big Bang’s existing popularity. But then, they debuted with “Fire” and they had a really good song. Not to mention that their fashion is also good, and their dancing is not bad. They are really addictive, and they possess that certain something that other groups lack.
