Kim Tae Hee is having a very good August 2015, that’s for sure. Her new drama Yongpal with Joo Won is a major hit (relatively speaking in this day and age of depressed television ratings), and now she’s garnered another crown by being voted by K-netizens as the number 1 celebrity beauty in Korea in 2015. One can argue that this latest list as released by tvN on its variety program, with a full ranking of the top 20 starlets as voted by K-netizens, reflects only that particular polling pool. But Kim Tae Hee garnering the most votes as the most beautiful Korean female star is really hard to argue against since she’s been winning these types of awards consistently for over ten years ever since her debut. I thought she might fall out of favor not because of aging but due to K-netizens disapproval over her dating Rain, but looks like her features remain the ideal for K-netizens year in and year old. Rounding out the top 5 behind Kim Tae Hee is traditional beauty Lee Young Ae, film goddess Jeon Ji Hyun, getting prettier with age Song Hye Kyo, and ethereal beauty Han Ga In. Check out the full top 20 below to see if your faves are on it.
This list is really quite diverse IMO, and in addition to Lee Young Ae it’s always nice to see more older ladies still radiating classy beauty on the list such as Shim Eun Ha, Kim Hee Ae, and Choi Ji Woo.

The only idol in there is Suzy lol
Sung Yuri was an idol too.
for me song hye kyo is the best.....
With makeup like classic Hollywood, old film look i have seen with her in some photos is hard to beat but she looks not as stunning with without being dolled up. I prefer smiling beauty stars like Shin Min Ah, Han Hyo Joo, Oh Yeon Seo and curvy sexy stars like Ha Ji Won, Yoon Eun Hye, Han Groo.
Of course all these stars look much better than normal. These actress i like seeing getting love like this and not idols that look the same and are hyped look wise just because they are 17-27 years old....
This is a bit weird, but SHK features kind of remind of Jessica Alba. Am i the only weird one?
Nope. I always thought that too. Kim Ah Joong too reminds me of Jessica Alba.
no one can beat SONG HYE KYO c'mon:)wake up hehe
Good to see they have good enough taste to have not generic young idols over classy really beautiful older stars like Kim Hee Ae, Kim Hee Sun, Lee Young Ae, Ha Ji Won, Choi Ji Woo.
Its only missing imo gorgeous actress, queen of dimples like Shin Min Ah, Oh Yeon Seo, Han Groo.
I guess the poll result was due to her recent drama fame. But beauty wise, Kim Tae Hee's teeth is obviously fake, it's too big for her mouth. Well, if that's the standard of S.Korea, the home of surgically enhanced stars, what can we do!
Song Hye Kyo is the best and for my opinion 2 of the the first top 5 should not be there.
Which two ? I have hard time comparing the baby face cute looks of Han Ga In to the stunning women like Kim Tae Hee, Lee Young Ae, Jeon Ji Hyun, Song Hye Kyo.
I would replace her in the top 5 with Kim Hee Ae or Ha ji Won.
Han Ga in is the one..
We all have different taste and depends where we live we have certain beauty standards.For me as I said Song Hyo Kyo should be on the first place. She reminds me the classic beauties of HWood in the 50s. Kim Tae Hee is very cute but between beautiful and adorable it s a big difference.Lee young Ae is an attractive woman but not beautiful ( IMo).To make it clear .I am talking about face characteristics and not for her acting talent.Then the list should be a different list.
Imo, SHK and KTH have the classic look among the list, with or without make up..SHK is more on elegant looks, and KTH is adorable. even i love KTH more, but i found it difficult to choose who are prettier.
there are few time in drama/variety show that i watched when they have choices that are difficult to decide upon, they will say "its like to choose between SHK and KTH who are prettier"..
and to add, because i found SHK too pretty, i cant picture if shes playing a character for eg rom-com. i prefer her mostly on heavy role, and melodrama type is the best for her. she is, in my humble opinion is prettier when shes crying or doesnt have much dialogue. :)
for KTH, shes type to do kind of cute and adorable character. shes shine when she make a cute face, and have more dialogue.
but both are still prettiest to me, i dont want to choose.
SHK was really cute in Full House. She's pretty versatile as an actress.
Michaelcorleone,
i know she is versatile. but i just prefer her to do heavy roles. she was averagely cute in Full House.
It's too bad Jang Nara isn't on this list. I find her absolutely stunning and definitely on par with Han Gain and Kim Heesun. The girl seems to radiate sweetness.
Jang Nara shud be crowned as Queen of Baby Face. hehe
Queen of Baby Face Korea only I'm afraid...the Taiwanese stars are the ones filled with baby faced beauty.
Ariel Lin, Rainie Yang, Ivy Chen and heck even Gui Gui looks mighty young for their age.
JNR is not there perhaps because Korea finds her as forever the cute girl who sang 'Sweet Dreams' than pretty.
. Moon Chae Won should be higher ,and psh should be lower ,or not even on the list at all,not saying she's ugly but she's not a wowing beauty, shin min ah should be there ,gong hyo jin aswell ,
Is this list based on popularity?
Oh yeon so ,song hye kyo,
well...too bad u're not in korea to decide that. beauty is subjective..so not everyone can have the same opinions as u. that is why they create a poll to vote..so,more votes..there u r. i really dont get why people always want to insert their ideas into someone else mind. in conclusion,the vote is fair.
yeah, I would say the list is definitely based on popularity. There are far more beautiful women out there than some of the ones on this list.
Better make your own ranking according to your taste and put your bias in no.1. Haha
you can make your own list... this list was voted and Shinhye is there for reasons
Gong Hyo Jin isn't considered a beauty in Korea, most people like her because she is "charming" and good at acting, and has great fashion sense, but I never heard them calling her godness or beauty. They say her charms is looking average/normal.
yes, Jang Nara is definitely missing.
Suzy's a cute girl but compared to most of the other ladies on this list, she's a little....lacking. Or maybe it's just the constantly open mouth that gives the impression of gormlessness.
Tbh, Shin Min Ah is missing too. So i was a bit meh on the list. I mean it's freaking SMA. T.T
In Korean taste, KTH will always be no 1. At least international fans are not blind because there are far more beautiful girls with beautiful body than Kim Ta Hae. Even in my country fruit seller beauty is far for more beautiful than her.
so how about you? are u prettier than that fruit seller? lol
I vote for Lee Young Ae.
for me all of them are a beauty, even i loved KTH the most. but i love all of them. if only i can as pretty as they are when i'm older.....
wud be happy to see on the next year's list, Kim So Eun will be joining them. :)
