TC Candler’s The 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2020 includes 24 K-pop idols, touting it as “widely considered to be the most internationally recognized and prestigious list of its kind.”

“Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, originality, daring, passion, class, poise, joy, promise, hope… they are all embodied in a beautiful face,” it said.

It said the 100 were selected “out of the approximately 125,000 celebrities (which works out to less than 0.001%)” and over 40 countries are represented on the list.

This year, BTS member V placed second, the highest ranking K-pop idol on the list, and his fifth time to make it. “Who is handsome? This guy!!!” TC Candler described V.

Fellow BTS member Jungkook, the “reigning champ” who was crowned the No. 1 most handsome face of 2019, grabbed fourth place, also his fifth time on the list.
