While literally all K-Pop stars are stunning because visual is always the must-have box
to be checked when debuting, there are still some outstanding beauties that are recognized
to set the bar for the whole K-Pop industry.
It’s also because such visuals are rare, netizens are often hungry for moments these
idols stand next to each other to see whose beauty deserved the hype and whose visual
is overrated by the public.
1.
Sullyoon vs. Wonyoung
So, netizens have recently been crazy over the moment Wonyoung and Sullyoon stood next
to each other at Music Bank.
While the debut of NMIXX was said to be a “disaster,” Sullyoon has still been on
the hot topic for days because of the top-notch visual.
In fact, her face was said to be the female version of Cha Eun Woo, or in other words,
a female face genius, for looking flawlessly stunning with the incredibly small face and
especially the deer eyes that are as big and sparkling as crystal.
Basically her face was so surrealistically gorgeous that some immediately admitted it
had been ages since they truly got starstrucked just by looking at a K-Pop idol.
Also for such reasons, many netizens said that they were drawn more to the visual of
Sullyoon when she stood next to Wonyoung though before that, Wonyoung’s reputation had been
all over the Internet as a new IT girl of K-Pop.
Even when IVE debuted, the magnets for attention was also the visual of Wonyoung since her
visual was said to be super expensive with the fair complexion, shimmering eyes and extremely
small face.
However, according to some, that still couldn't beat Sullyoon because Sullyoon’s beauty
is just overwhelming and no one could ever overtake her appearance-wise.
The visual battle between Sullyoon and Wonyoung was so heated that both trended on multiple
forums and despite the same content, all posts still attracted over 3,000 views each.
Besides the opinions that Sullyoon's visual is more impressive, many people believe that
Wonyoung is still extremely beautiful and it's unfair to compare her with Sullyoon in
this context because Sullyoon was wearing heavy make-up at the time for performing,
while Wonyoung only wore light makeup to do the MC.
2.
Seolhyun vs. Karina
Most recently, SM Entertainment collaborated with JYP Entertainment and FNC to project
about the future of the industry as well as turn Songdo into a K-Pop hotspot through the
IFEZA - K-POP Future Entertainment City, and the event immediately garnered attention of
the public.
However, the funniest thing was that, the hot topic of that day wasn’t at all about
those macro, futuristic advancements but rather about everyone getting the chance to see Seolhyun’s
iconic visual and the surreal CGI beauty of Karina in one frame.
The moment got so much attention that it went out of mere discussion on K-Pop forums and
became the headlines of many outlets.
Despite the low quality of the picture, the visuals of both girls were still stunningly
gorgeous.
Especially for Seolhyun, many said that they were taken aback by her seemingly ageless
beauty because although there was a huge biological and career gap between her and Karina, Seolhyun
still looked as if she was also a gen4 idol.
In fact, some said that they were drawn more to the visual of Seolhyun because her facial
features were softer, sweeter, more harmonious and more “South Korean standard” compared
to Karina.
Yes, I know that sounds kinda counterintuitive because Karina has been showered with compliments
for her CGI beauty since aespa’s debut but if you’ve watched my video about the most
controversials visuals of K-Pop, you will see the reasons why this point of view was
actually quite popular in the K-community.
However, there were also opposing opinions saying that it wasn’t 100% true to say Karina’s
visual was overshadowed by Seolhyun’s because Karina’s beauty fell on the sharp and alluring
end of the spectrum, which was basically a completely different style of beauty compared
to the soft prettiness of Seolhyun.
Not only that, as Karina’s complexion was also fairer than Seolhyun’s, putting them
on the scale made even less sense because basically you could never compare two completely
different types of beauty.
3.
YoonA vs. Karina & Yuna
At the 2021 organization of the MBC Gayo Daejejeon 2021 on December 31, netizens were once again
left in awe about the moment Karina standing next to YoonA because they finally got to
see two iconic visuals of SM Entertainment in one frame.
About YoonA, apparently everyone knows that she is not only the visual of SNSD but actually
also a person introducing the “visual” position into a K-Pop group.
Because her beauty was so refreshing and “South Korean standard,” YoonA is often chosen
to stand at the center of the group and create a thing called “flower garden effect,”
which basically refers to how she makes the rest of the group look even more stunning
when standing in the middle.
However, even when her visual is recognized to set the bar for many other K-Pop idols,
some believed it’s still hard to deny that the facts that YoonA had as been in the bloody
competitive for about 15 years and was born 10 years before Karina still made her visual
somewhat less youthful than Karina.
That’s why according to some, Karina’s visual had won over YoonA’s this round because
firstly, she had the refreshing and youthful vibe of a genZ idol and secondly, she had
just debuted for around one year, people weren’t completely familiar to her so they found it
more interesting to look at the way Karina flaunted her beauty.
Not only that, since aespa is now the leading act of SM Entertainment, it was also normal
for Karina to have the best treatment to look flawless from all angles.
However, there are also some who believe that it was kinda halting to compare the visuals
of YoonA and Karina like that because each had a completely different visual style.
According to netizens, their beauty came from two universes and while Karina seemed like
stepping straight out of computer game graphics, YoonA appeared to be a princess from a romance
fantasy novel.
Others also said it seemed like their beauty represented two art styles and as you can
tell, art has never been ugly as each had their own beauty.
Then on the same night, netizens also got crazy over another explosive visual moment
as besides Karina, Yuna also got to be in the same frame with her senior YoonA.
Not only that, the fact that both opted for a flattering pink dress, had the same name
pronunciations and are also the visuals representing two acts of two big companies in two different
generations also excited people because such rare and fun coincidences had never happened
in K-Pop before.
However, when it came to whose visual was more stunning, people immediately showed split
opinions with some saying that they preferred the visual of Im YoonA more as despite the
thirteen-year age gap, she still looked as young as Shin Yuna.
Some pointed out that this might be because Shin Yuna’s visual was so mature but according
to others, it also seemed like Im YoonA was a real vampire of K-Pop because she looked
barely different from her past self.
Not only that, the light make-up and natural wavy hair were also said to well compliment
the soft and mild visual of Im YoonA, proving why she deserved to be the idol setting the
bar for many junior idols of the following generations.
Meanwhile, there were also some opinions saying that Shin Yuna had actually outshone Im YoonA
in this moment because compared to her senior whose visual was too soft, Yuna’s facial
features were extremely sharp and defined.
Plus, considering how Shin Yuna was only 19 years old at the time and hadn’t flaunted
much of such stunning visuals, some said they found her beauty more intriguing and worth
the admiration than her senior.

Cha Eun Woo vs. Jaehyun
As we’ve talked about the female face genius version of Cha Eun Woo, let’s talk about
Eun Woo himself for now because back in 2020, he and Jaehyun also made headlines for being
in one frame and people just couldn’t get enough of the two’s visuals.
Another interesting coincidence was that, similar to how Wonyoung and Sullyoon were
both born in 2004, Eun Woo and Jaehyun were also born in the same year, 1997, making them
one of the most famous visual duo in the 19-liners.
This scene quickly became a hot topic on many platforms but very different from the previous
cases, opinions were almost identical this time with everyone thinking both boys looked
equally handsome.
Their visuals strongly emitted the prince-charming vibe that people couldn't choose one and ended
up admitting their beauty complimented each other to create a next-level-visual combination.
This encounter also brought up the interesting fact that Eun Woo and Jaehyun were also close
friends in real life but as some pointed out, because Jaehyun had long been famous as an
icy-cold handsome boy and Eun Woo in contrast had been famous for the Valentine prince charming
look, they found the smiley face of Eun Woo makes people feel comfortable because it gives
off a very positive and warm energy.
Still, since both Eun Woo and Jaehyun’s visuals were impeccable and represent two
different styles of aesthetic, it’s impossible to tell who looked better in this encounter.
So, which visual do you prefer more in each encounter?
