Rosé of Blackpink has been named the most beautiful woman of 2025.
According to the annual “The 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025” list released by TC Candler, Rosé secured the No. 1 position. The ranking was officially announced on December 29 through TC Candler’s YouTube channel.
The list is compiled each year based on global fan votes and public recommendations. It highlights female celebrities from around the world. In 2025, K-pop stars occupied a large portion of the rankings.
Rosé topped the list, becoming the highest-ranked female celebrity worldwide. Following her, Pharita of BabyMonster placed third, while Karina of aespa ranked eighth. Jisoo of BLACKPINK, Nancy, TWICE’s Tzuyu, Jeon Somi, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and more secured spots on the list.
Former After School member and actress Nana ranked eighteenth; she previously topped the list in both 2014 and 2015.
In total, Korean female celebrities accounted for around 28 names on the list, making up nearly one-fourth of the entire ranking.
In addition, many male K-pop idols dominated the TC Candler’s list of The Most Handsome Faces of 2025.
V of BTS ranked seventh, becoming the highest-ranking Korean male celebrity this year. Ni-Ki of ENHYPEN followed closely at tenth.
Jungkook of BTS placed fourteenth, while Hyunjin of Stray Kids ranked eighteenth. Cha Eun-woo of ASTRO placed thirty-third, and Shotaro of RIIZE ranked thirty-fifth.
While global fans celebrated the strong K-pop presence, some Korean netizens questioned the ranking system. Critics pointed out that global fan voting may play a larger role than traditional beauty standards.
Information from TC Candler’s Patreon page showed that fan-voted rankings closely matched the final results.
