Every year, fans vote online to decide who the ultimate K-pop visual is. KingChoice’s “Visual King” poll featured idols across all generations, letting fans vote using upvotes only to show pure support. Here is a look at the final top 20, along with the specific facial features that make each idol stand out.
1. Lee Donghae (Super Junior)
Lee Donghae took first place with 162271 upvotes. Donghae is famous in K-pop for having one of the sharpest and most chiseled jawlines in the industry. The lower half of his face is known for its strong, clean definition. In Korean entertainment, Donghae is famous as the top representative of the “dinosaur-type” visual look. This look features high cheekbones, strong bones, and sharp facial features.
2. V (BTS)
BTS’s Kim Taehyung secured the second position with 114313 upvotes. His most famous features are his deep almond eyes, a high straight nose, and a sharp jawline that gives him a sculpted side profile. The wide gap between his brows and eyes makes his face look intense even when he is relaxed.
3. Choi Siwon
Choi Siwon is currently ranked #3 with 82835 upvotes. Siwon’s signature look comes from his symmetrical and balanced features. He has a straight nose, a sharp brow bone, and a strong yet clean jawline. His face fits traditional masculine Korean beauty standards so well that he was frequently cast in dramas early in Super Junior’s career.
4. Jungkook (BTS)
Landing in fourth place with 35376 upvotes right behind his bandmate, Jungkook’s face reads younger and softer than V’s despite similar overall structure. His standout features are his eyes, large, slightly hooded, with a natural downward tilt that fans call his “puppy” look, and a nose that’s straight but less pronounced than Siwon’s or V’s, keeping his overall look boyish rather than sharp.
5. Sunoo (ENHYPEN)
The highest-ranked fourth-gen idol on the list is ENHYPEN’s Sunoo with 6134 upvotes. Sunoo’s face is defined by unusually large, round eyes set wide apart, full lips, and soft cheeks, a combination that gives him a distinctly gentle, almost doll-like look that’s become his signature in ENHYPEN’s visual-heavy concepts.
6. Jin (BTS)
Kim Seokjin is currently ranked #6 with 4410 upvotes. Jin has been called “Worldwide Handsome” by fans for years, and his features back it up. He has a slim nose, defined cheekbones, and a sharp yet smooth jawline. His slightly smaller eyes draw more attention to his overall facial structure, making him look unique among K-pop idols.
7. Choi Minho (SHINee)
Choi Minho takes 7th place with 2,345 upvotes. Minho is famous in the Korean entertainment industry for his extremely small face. He has a narrow head, which gives him elite model-like body proportions. His face tapers smoothly into a small, rounded chin. His bone structure forms a soft, youthful oval rather than a wide, square jaw.
8. T.O.P (Big Bang)
T.O.P stands at position 8 with 1984 upvotes. T.O.P’s face stands out because of its sharp contrast. He has a high nose bridge with heavy, sleepy-looking eyes. That combination of hard bone structure and a relaxed gaze has been his trademark since BigBang’s debut, setting him apart from every other face in the top 10.
9. Cha Eun-woo (ASTRO)
Cha Eunwoo ranks #9 with 1798 upvotes. Eunwoo is frequently cited in Korean media as having an “ideal face ratio.” Beauty articles often use his face as a standard example of balanced thirds. His large eyes, straight nose, and soft chin give him a very youthful look.
10. Hyunjin (Stray Kids)
Hyunjin sits in 10th place with 1,693 upvotes. Hyunjin’s facial features are dramatic vertical proportions, with a longer face shape, high cheekbones, and a sharp, defined jawline. His eyes are narrow and slightly upturned at the outer corners, giving him a look that reads as fashion-editorial rather than conventionally soft.
11. Rowoon (SF9)
Standing at 190.5 cm (6’3″), he is one of the tallest idols and actors in the industry. His sharp jawline, symmetrical features, expressive eyes, and full lips define his signature look. Media often describe him as the ideal “perfect boyfriend” type, and his mix of a sweet aura with an athletic build has earned him major luxury modeling deals.
12. Kim Yohan (WEi)
WEi’s Kim Yo-han has a youthful and athletic visual style, often noted for combining sharp, defined features with soft, puppy-like charm. He features expressive monolid-to-tapered eyes, a straight, prominent nose bridge, and a softly rounded jawline that balances his boyish appeal with striking stage presence.
13. Choi Soobin (TXT)
He has a well-proportioned oval face with soft, smooth contours and large, gentle “doe-like” brown eyes. His mouth is one of his most distinct features, with a clear Cupid’s bow and upturned corners that create a heart-shaped smile. Deep cheek dimples also highlight his face whenever he smiles.
14. Park Jihoon (Solo Artist)
His facial structure features soft, rounded contours that give him a lasting youthful appearance, or boyish beauty. However, his cleanly shaped jawline gives him a surprisingly sharp side profile. He has slightly asymmetrical double eyelids, large “doe-like” eyes framed by prominent aegyo-sal, and a high, straight, sharp nose bridge.
15. Jackson Wang (GOT7)
Jackson Wang features an ultra-sharp, square jawline with minimal facial fat, highlighting his strong bone structure. His high cheekbones give his mid-face a sculpted, high-fashion contour. He has large, expressive eyes with a sharp gaze, paired with a slim, straight nose and a refined tip.
16. L / Kim Myungsoo (INFINITE)
INFINITE’s Kim Myungsoo is known as one of K-pop’s top visuals due to his perfectly symmetrical face. His standout feature is a high, straight nose bridge with a sharply defined tip. His large, expressive eyes shift effortlessly from intense to warm, while he possesses a slightly softer, highly balanced, and classic oval-to-square masculine jaw base.
17. Kai (EXO)
He has a strong, sharp jawline and high cheekbones that look great on camera. He is famous for his deep, rich skin tone, which stands out distinctly in the K-pop industry. His deep-set, piercing eyes are intensely expressive on stage, and his full lips add a unique contrast to standard idol visuals.
18. Hwang Minhyun (NU’EST)
Hwang Minhyun is widely celebrated for his “desert fox” visuals, combining sharp, clean features with an ethereal, prince-like aura. His expressionless look can seem cool and sharp, but his face softens instantly into a warm smile. His defining features include long, slanted almond eyes, a high, straight nose bridge, and neat, balanced lips.
19. Yunho (ATEEZ)
Standing at 186 cm (6’1″), Yunho is the tallest member of his group. Media and fans often praise his “golden retriever” aura. He has a clean, symmetrical face with soft cheeks, large gentle eyes, a distinct nose, and full lips that make him look naturally warm and approachable.
20. Mingyu (SEVENTEEN)
Kim Mingyu, the visual of SEVENTEEN, is famous for his balanced, structured facial features. Plastic surgeons and fans frequently praise his symmetrical face, which seamlessly pairs a clean, defined jawline with soft contours. His deep-set, expressive eyes sit beneath thick, natural brows, while his sharp, straight nose bridge ties his proportions together.
