Prettiest SNSD Member AKA Best Face Ranking

The iconic Girls Generation. I must say that I truly think this is the most plain-looking group of girls I have seen debuting in a sea of idols. 

Most of them, however have greatly improved their appearance since their humble beginnings. But even if their clothes have gotten better and their hair, make-up and styling have all come into the 21st century, I still don't think that any of them are stunning or beautiful. 

 In this list I will be taking all 9 original members into account as I believe Jessica is still one of their most popular and influential members.

~So let's get this party started!!!!~

Yuri 

(Dark beauty baby) 

Why? My problem with Yuri isn't that she is dark, it's more with the fact that she doesn't own it. I feel like the type of makeup she always has on is trying to mimic what works for say Yoona or Taeyong. I wish she would be the "sexy" member and be put in more bronze beachy beautiful looks. I mean the girl has the body to back it up for sure. She also seems to be the least versatile when it comes to hair styles. She can only pull off the wavy long hark hair. Anything else is given to her and she can't handle it.

Her yo-yo weight throughout the years has also been a polemic issue with fans.
Yuri definitely has a hot body but when she gains a little bit of weight, her face becomes really really chubsters.

The girl isn't pretty but she is the one Hot member in this group according to muahh.

Hyeoyeon 

(Eyebrows matters!)

Why? The girl has definitely gotten prettier since debut.
From hair color and styling, to her actual face transformation, Her fans keep saying that she didn't have anything done, but I think it's quite evident that she did.
I mean I'm not against plastic surgery except when it becomes excessive, and I think Hyeyeon has done just enough to make her quite pretty and natural.

Still I think a girl who keeps their natural looks is always prettier looking up-close
than a girl who has gone under the knife does. It's just one of those things that up-close is pretty hard to fool the eyes.

 But still kudos to her who managed to improve her appearance so drastically.

Sunny

(The connections brat)

Why? Many Netizens call her ugly all the time. I really don't think she is ugly, but then again I don't think she is beautiful either. Cute would be her one card to play against the others. Also the fact that she has a bababoom chest. He body in general is just ehhhh (that means it's good but not all that) but her chest is probably her most talked about feature.

7th Place only seems appropriate for the queen of the cute.









6th Place goes to

Sooyoung

(SouthEast Star)

Why? I like her. I don't care what netizens say.
She has a regal body figure and has a cute face with big eyes.
I personally like short hairstyles on her better than long ones. I think it makes her look that much more like a star.

I think a lot of people in Korea never seem to like her due to her skin-tone.
Because she is not pale like a effing sheet of paper they assume she can not be considered pretty or beautiful. Very close-minded and stupid. I know.
A girl is pretty no matter their skin tone. If they are pretty, they are pretty.

On the other side of the coin I think her biggest physical thumbs down would have to be how wide her face can appear at times. It's definitely not fat, because the girl is as thin as one can be, but it's just her really protruding cheekbones. This also makes her face look really disproportionate to her body. Giant head Sooyong.

Still she is pretty OK in my book.

Seohyon

(The soul-less robot)

Why? The girl is a natural beauty judging from her past pictures.
She is pretty in every sense based on Korean standards:
Has long black hair, fair(ish) skin, round eyes, small nose and mouth, and tall body.

My problem with her is the complete lack of emotion coming out of her.
Her eyes are just on one channel all the time. Which is very surprising because she was chosen for a girl group which should be for very outgoing cute girls.

I think she is pretty in the very conservative, girl next door way.
She is just not an exciting beauty to look at.

Jessica

(The cold/ice traitor)

Why? Jessica, although I don't think she is naturally beautiful since obviously
she's suffered a very nice transformation throughout the years since her debut.

Jessica is definitely a chic girl. I love her fashion/style ;) and just her overall look.
But since this is a 'best-face' list I must say that although not beautiful,
she certainly has a unique look to her.

I think she pulls off blonde, orange, brown hair extremely well.
I think I usually lean for the most unique looking faces because
it helps me distinguish them easier so it's no surprise that I am more drawn by Jessica than by Seohyon or Sooyoung.

Now for the last 3 places......

Yoona

(The Plainest Korean Super Beauty)

Why? I've always thought Yoona as overrated
(If you want specific details as to why I have a whole post about it here) but although I talk a lot about her face being on the "comfortable plain" kind of pretty, I still have to put her on the top 3 when compared with all the SNSD girls here.

She has a sleek body and wears clothes well, has pretty skin, and just looks comfortable to look at and although not beautiful she is better than the other already mentioned girls. 

2nd Place goes to

Tiffany

(Pony's Mother)

Why? I really think think has a bad rep about being a horse face :p
But I don't think that defers from her good looks.
She has a very pleasant "handsome" face lol
and her skin is one of the best in SNSD according to me.

Her body is whatevs I guess, not my cup of tea, but overall she is an above average member in a group of less-than impressive girls.

I approve of Tiffany (Big & enthusiastic thumbs up)

1st Place goes to

Taeyong

(The kid leader)

Why? Definitely the cutest and prettiest of this bunch. I won't touch on her personality because who cares what's on the inside am I right ? ;)  (C'mon I kid..)
However, I have to admit that she has a very youthful face, with all the right features.

I think she pulls off all the looks that have been given to her so far and that's usually when I know a girl is really pretty and not just relying on hair styles or outfits.

Which is why she definitely deserves 1st place.

According to me of course because duh it's my blog so obviously everything here is my opinion
(For the haters who keep saying "Well that' just your opinion. No one cares..."
well what did you expect while reading someone's personal blog? To read back your own thoughts *cray cray*) Ok mini rant ovarrr ;)

The revenge of SM ugly duklings

The Untouchable SM with their sea of pretty faces. It is widely knows that their main criteria when choosing group members or artists in general is that looks are extremely important to them. But there are always exceptions.

I do not buy into the popular belief that all the people coming out of SM are gorgeous human beings. Several of them are just not all that. And there are several examples of this. However it is always nice to see girls who have been overlooked for so long being more and more appreciated by the general public.

Here are some girls who I think have overcome their ugly-duckling syndrome and have finally seen the spring in their lives :D

SNSD - Hyoyeon

Probably from the get go Hyeoeon was the most overlooked member in all of SNSD. Although possessing a charming fun personality, her looks were not noticed or as highly regarded as any of the other girls in the group. Her height wasn't the best, and if she had a cute look like Sunny's at the very least, she could have pulled in more fans. However her looks were always not so popular with Korean fans (Although she had quite a few international fans).

For a long time she was the ugly duckling of SNSD. Although she hasn't isn't the most good looking member I always liked her personality so I truly wish that her popularity would increase. This girl was funny and easy going and I always feel for the not-so-popular girl in a group (Probably my own liking for underdogs).

Fast Forward to 2013 and you can see a shift in her looks. I'm going to say that the main features that seems to have changed in her are her brows, weight and nose, Some are saying that she has had lots of plastic surgery but I disagree. I think it is mainly a different styling from hair, clothes and make-up. Her brows have become more Korean-like with the ever so popular straight/thick eyebrows.


You go girl. You keep looking better and better every year. Go get those fans and those solo pictorials :)

FX - Luna

I think the biggest jaw-dropping transformation has been that of Luna from F(x). She went from being totally rough, dark, thick looking paired with the worst hair color ever to actually really good looking.

I think her diet has impacted her new look the most. I know most people think that she has undergone plastic surgery all over her face but I think the most dramatic changes have definitely come from her drastic lost of weight. Perhaps some procedures have happened like Botox, or other injections but I don't think there is any other major procedures to her. Her legs might be a different story as like many people have mentioned, even with weight lost, its very hard to lose muscles in your legs. I guess in Korea there are shots that have become popular for leg muscles (Even Sulli was accused of using it) and if any procedures have been done on Luna, then these shots are most likely true.

Maybe I'm just not good at detecting plastic surgery, but I've always felt that when plastic surgery has been done in a lot of areas in one's face it's obvious and end up looking unnatural (Park Bom, Boram, Seo Woo). 

Her styling and choice of hair color has definitely improved as well and this has elevated her look.

I'm glad that she is gaining positive attention since the girl is talented and seems very sweet, so good going girl.








I think the good transformation brings hope to other ugly-duckling hopefuls.

Don't lose hope:

Amber
Ryehyok

Yoona - The Enigma of the Legendary Korea's "Ideal" Girl

Now this is not really about her character, but mostly about her appearance. There have been so many times I've heard that she is The Face of SNSD,
that she is Korea's top girl-group member, that she is a goddess Blah Blahhh Blahhhh

But I just don't get the hype.

Let's analyze this Yoona phenomenon a little more:

1) Face- Oh Yoona, first time I saw her I could just think 'ehhh whatever' I was taken aback by the number of people who praised her face to the point of calling her a goddess or what not.

Her face reminds me of a light bulb or of the 'scream' painting.

She is (For me!) the most plain over-hyped face in the industry. There are so many other prettier girls who have never even put close to the pedestal Yoona seems to have gotten away with.



2) Body - Yoona's body sigh I feel like I'm looking at an eel's body. Zero sex appeal.

I guess I can see why girls would think that she has a 'perfect' body, simply because girls seem to have an obsession with skinny bodies due to their resemblance to top fashion models (And the fact that all clothes fit). But I can't imagine any guys finding her body close to attractive or desirable.






3) Personality - What a boring girl in all honesty. She is sweet but she hasn't really ever said or done anything close to interesting from what I've observed. Granted (As you can probably guess) I am not a SONE by any means, so I haven't watched all shows that she is in, but I have watched my fair share of them. And she is not entertaining or funny -_- She is nice but just not super funny by far :/

4) X-Factor - I could explain this as charisma or as that little something extra which makes you different, special or unique. Many artists have it, which is why people feel attracted to them. Sometimes for no apparent reason.  But Yoona is as vanilla as saltine crackers. I simply don't quite get what would make her special to some. She is just there. A wallflower.  Nothing wrong with that, and perhaps if she wasn't ass over-hyped as she is, I would give her a little more slack for her lack of talent.



5) Talent - I've always been very skeptical with the girls from SNSD's talents. I know they all have pretty synchronized choreographies, but then again it's not like they are the ones coming up with them. And the moves are not specially hard to achieve individually. Even Hyoyeon who is 'the' dancer in the group seems to be lacking a natural flow to her (Might just be because she is so short and her shows don't showcase as prettily :/ or might be something else. Who knows). Artists or public figures have a special talent that makes the public look at them. Even people like Hyuna who brings a sexy appeal even if it's not truly artistic dance routines or Minzy who brings a swag not seen before do offer something different to the table of K-Pop. Yoona is far from being the best singer, dancer or most outgoing or funny. Oh Yoona, you are so lucky to have all these guys saying you are their ideal girl -___-



I truly do not hate Yoona. But I would be lying if I said I loved her. She is just whatever. The only reason I'm making this post is because in my opinion she is so average looking that I still don't understand the obsession with naming her Korea's 'ideal girl". All I wanna know is what is it about her that you like so much? Real hard-core fans of Yoona, what is it that attracts you the most and makes her different from other idols in your opinion?

Maybe I will feel inspired by your responses.

RED VELVET Best Face Ranking

Now this is a group I'm really excited to write about.

It's been a long time since a new group has made me this enthusiastic.

Having debuted only last year, Red Velvet already promised to be
one of the best debuts of the year.

And besides all the obvious reasons such as the awesome songs, choreographies, MV's, and overall concepts they've presented us with, we can't overlook the fact all their members are
simply gorgeous. 

Now, I am far from being a hardcore fan of theirs But I have to admit they are one of the few groups with no ugly members. All of them could be the face of their own group (If they had debuted in different groups) and they are all super talented.

Now of course this is my personal opinion, and given the circumstances of this group, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people with slightly different tastes who will be completely opposed to my list, but hey it is my blog and I write what I want.

Now without further ado, let's start with:

5th Place 

.

.

.

.

Seul-gi

(Gollum)

Why? As I said this is gonna be a hard list to create because 

all 5 girls are gorgeous, 

and of course Seul-gi is too. 

She is in last place ONLY because I find her really similar to Wendy. 

In the beginning, it actually took me about several looks to differentiate them 

based on pics and videos. 

Wendy is a bit softer looking which is the only reason 

she was a bit ahead on the list than Seul-gi :/

4th place

.

.

.

.

Wendy

(Prettier Gollum)

Why? Same reason as for Seulgi, 

She was given one of the last places just because although gorgeous, 

she doesn't have a new look to her. 

But this girl sure can sing, 

and I really love seeing her passion 

for it whenever 

they are singing live.

3rd Place

.

.

.

.

Ye-Rim

(Bunny)

Why? She is cute. Perhaps not the most beautiful in the group 

but has certainly the maknae card playing on her favor. 

She has all the cute face expressions 

one can expect from young girls debuting nowadays 

in K-Pop and she is pretty :) 

So third Place seems only fair

2nd Place

.

.

.

.

Irene

(SM Loyal Princess)

Why? She is one of the prettiest girls 

I've seen recently in K-Pop. 

She has a classic beauty. 

And she seems to have always been like that,

 except for maybe minor improvements 

(cough cough Double Eyelids **cough cough**)

But either way she is beautiful and looks very natural 

and not at all almost ten years older 

than little Yer-rim

1st Place

.

.

.

.

Park Joy

(Moon face)

Why? That face. 

She was the one who gave me give RV 

a second look from the get go. 

She has a pretty round innocent face, 

her smile is contagious and her skin seems to belong in a fairy tale 

(Like Snow White *_*) 

I was doubting if I should put her first 

because she seems to still not have completely grown out 

of her chubby cheeks, 

and her body could use a little tiny shrinking 

(Nothing major! Don't go batshit on me !! :o) 

But i think she is the most naturally 

beautiful and different in the group!! 

Congrats Joy :D Grow up to be 

even more beautiful than you are now <3

SM is for pretty people only?!!

SM is known in the Korean entertainment industry as the agency of 'pretty people'

According to most citizens in Korea SM contains some of the most beautiful idols and singers from all of the three major agencies......

Even people like IU who has become the favorite little sister in Korea confessed to not daring to try out for the SM auditions because she wasn't pretty enough (WTF!!)

Just look at her she is extremely pretty











 She doesn't even lose when compared to the "most beautiful face" from SM





I feel she wasn't confident enough to try out at the time since she was so young back then. And if SM had turned her down then they sure are idiots given that IU has pretty much everything to offer





Anyways let's go back to the topic at hand.....


SM's 'only beautiful'  members


But I come to bring the truth to everyone that this idea of SME only being for pretty people to be untrue when looking at the evidence I have today.

Let's look at some of the members from SM that fall short on the looks department but have still been able to debut successfully.

First we've got Shinee's Jonghyun 

(This is NOT his worst photo OK)

To be honest Jonghyun is my favorite Shinee member BUT I am not a delusional crazy fan so I can be honest for one minute here. He is not the best looking from the group. AT ALL

He is my favorite for many other reasons but it was not love at first sight. When first looking at a new group I'm sure most girls just go for the best looking one right away. Then we might change our mind on who our favorite member is based on voice, variety skills, dance skills, cute acts, etc, etc, ETC

Jonghyun might be hot at times but he looks old and his face is far from perfect (I still love him though, old-looking and all) I get why SM needed him in the group though. He might not be the best looking one BUT he does have an awesome voice (for an idol that is) and they are a singing group after all soooooooo his voice compensates for the rest 

plus he's funny.

OK, he is a good start on proving one of SM's myths wrong.

Then we have SNSD's Yuri

(NOT her worst photo EITHER) 

 Yuri is the male fantasy of many guys (That's what I've heard at least) and I do have to admit I  can see why. She is tall and has a woman's body with some curves and all. And her legs look meaty compared to all the other members who seem to have chopsticks hanging from their shorts.

But she is not pretty in the face department. All her sex appeal comes directly from her Body.

But she compensates for her lack of face appeal with her height and this makes her stand out in the group.

She has other appeals I'm sure (like being funny perhaps) but since I don't really watch that many shows with her on I can't really say anything about that.

Ok OK, moving on.....

Let's get to Fx Amber

I think it is obvious why Amber is on this list. She does not look like a pretty girl. 

Even if she was a guy she would be considered a hot guy or an attractive guy but not a pretty guy. She seems nice enough though don't get me wrong and I know it is SM who is pushing her to the  

tomboy look even more than what she was used to. I think SM's main reason to make her debut with Fx is that they needed more Chinese members out there to help promote their fairness with the Chinese public (See Super Junior's Hangeng scandal) since they were thinking on promoting there anyways.

I do want to see her with long hair and a more feminine look just to see how she would look like that. I'm not sure if we will ever get to see that though.....

Now let's move on to another 

SNSD's member, Hyoyeon

She is my favorite member from this over-rated group because she seems the most down to earth and genuinely funny from them all. She seems to be sincere in her actions and isn't hanged up on keeping up an image all the time. Plus she is the only one who can decently dance in the group. 

But then again we are here to discuss looks and not anything else. And sadly she loses in this aspect compared to the other girls. She is by far the least attractive from SNSD. She is short and has a very unusual face. It is obvious that she has had surgery, and her smile makes her have a scrunched face.

It is not secret that she gets the least amount of CF's or advertorials compared to the other girls and I think we all know why this is.  Still I'm glad that she was able to debut in SNSD because she does add a sense of keeping-it-real~ness to the group (My black girl voice was used here)

Let's continue with Super Junior's 

Leetuk and Ryeowook

They are definitely on my botton 3 from Super Junior when it comes to looks. I've already explained the details in another post about SJ's best face ranking So I'm, just going to leave it at that.

Like I said before, based on look these two lose, but Leetuk is quite hilarious and is climbing up really quickly on all sorts of variety shows. He probably will be the next great MC in Korea.

As to Ryeowook.........................

well, are you guys sure he isn't Lee Soo-Man's son?  XD

I'm not kidding you guys

And let's end this with Fx's Luna

 (Whenever she smiles I feel her face is going to melt)

Ok, for this part I must gather all my meanness and just let it all out. 

Luna is one of the least pretty members in all of SM. There I said it. 

She has very few physical characteristics that would land her in a girl group. She is quite short (which wouldn't really be a problem But...) she has a very bulky build and this makes her look very rough. Her extremities (arms and legs) are not quite proportional to her petite frame. She looks to me like a walking radish. I also don't understand why her stylists giver her that awful orange-blond hair. She is dark enough to almost blend with that tone of blond. Please stylists, just stop!

But God is not so unfair as to not give her anything in return. She has the best voice in the group and obviously she was picked for her real talent as opposed to her looks. 

Next time you see an idol that doesn't quite look like an idol, you can bet they have something that makes up for it.
