It’s the final part of the 2025 Kpopalypse Objectification Survey results! Who are the most attractive k-pop idols for 2025, according to Kpopalypse readers? Let’s take a look!
The last part of the Kpopalypse 2025 Objectification Survey is essentially the “face” category, where we take a look at the most attractive men and women in k-pop according to Kpopalypse readers! This section of the results is therefore completely politically correct and not objectifying or sexualising anybody whatsoever, because we all know that saying a boob is pretty is a very sexual statement, but saying a face is pretty is not sexual at all! Many Kpopalypse readers enjoyed being TC Candler for a day, let’s take a look at how they voted!
As per last year, voters were asked to choose up to three nominees in each category, best first, and points were allocated as per the following system:
- Your first choice was weighted 100% higher than your second choice
- Your second choice was weighted 66% higher than your third choice
- If you doubled or tripled on choices, only the first choice was counted
Scores were then tallied to give the final results across all categories.
The four results posts are as follows:
Part 1: FEMALE BOOBS and MALE ABS/TORSO – click HERE for the results!
Part 2: FEMALE and MALE ASSES – click HERE for the results!
Part 3: FEMALE and MALE LEGS – click HERE for the results!
Part 4: OVERALL MOST ATTRACTIVE FEMALES and MALES – this post!
Remember folks – that if you object to any of the choices here, you only have yourselves to blame as these were 100% your votes, not mine. Kpopalypse does not even cast a vote – this isn’t like a rigged Korean TV show where the “judges” get a say and can overturn fan opinion. If you want to see a certain result, then it’s your responsibility to spread the surveys to the people who are going to vote for your faves!
MOST ATTRACTIVE WOMEN IN K-POP
#1 – KARINA – AESPA
391 points
(2024 position – #1)
Karina didn’t have any issues keeping the competition at bay this year, easily picking up her fourth consecutive win!
#2 – WONYOUNG – IVE
179 points
(2024 position – #4)
Karina had better watch out in the coming years, because IVE’s Wonyoung is gaining fast, shooting up into second place this year! Does she have what it takes to be a future number one? Time will tell!
#3 – WINTER – AESPA
167 points
(2024 position – #20)
The last twelve months have been good to aespa, and they’ve definitely helped Kpopalypse readers notice Winter, who shot up hugely in the rankings to land at third place!
#4 – JIHYO – TWICE
151 points
(2024 position – #9)
Jihyo proves that she’s still got what it takes to be a major contender in k-pop attractiveness, beating out all other Twice members to score fourth most attactive female in k-pop!
#5 – DANIELLE – NEWJEANS/NJZ
146 points
(2024 position – #41)
With “NewJeans/NJZ/whatever they’re calling themselves by the time you read this” stuck in legal limbo, Kpopalypse readers appear to be missing Danielle. The first of her group to ascend to picture status in the most attractive polls, here’s hoping that her and her groupmates get to return to the stage.
#6 – EUNHA – VIVIZ
127 points
(2024 position – #2)
Eunha took a tumble in the polls this year due to lots of heat from the competition, and something something I forgot what I was going to write here. Nobody’s reading this anyway, are they, let’s be real.
#7 – SANA – TWICE
122 points
(2024 position – #7)
Lots of movement all around in this category, but Twice’s Sana managed to maintain her place this year. Hey for those of you who keep voting for Twice members in the polls with their full names i.e “Minatozaki Sana”, that’s totally unnecessary, I know who Sana is, save your fingers that extra typing, you’ll thank yourself when you’re older and you develop arthritis 3 seconds later in life.
#8 – ROSE – BLACKPINK
111 points
(2024 position – did not chart)
It’s definitely the year of Australians in the most attractive charts, with Danielle and now Rose shooting up out of fucking nowhere, straight into the top ten! Rose’s huge success worldwide no doubt contributed her to getting so popular in these polls that she was actually able to help push plenty of big names including her own groupmates out of picture status!
#9 – TZUYU – TWICE
101 points
(2024 position – #10)
In the female attractiveness polls there were many shock results, with several heavy-hitters not making picture status for the first time. However Twice members were remarkably consistent and Tzuyu is no exception, hitting the top ten once again!
#10 – YUJIN – IVE
99 points
(2024 position – #14)
Just missing out on picture status last year, IVE’s Yujin found her way into the top ten for the first time!
#11 – KWON EUNBI
98 points
(2024 position – #21)
Eunbi’s popularity has been exploding lately, I’m not sure why or how this has happened, but she seems to be making the most of it and has entered picture status in the most attractive women category as a result!
#12 – CHAEWON – LE SSERAFIM
97 points
(2024 position – #8)
Chaewon is sliding down the polls a bit but she’s still in it for now, and ahead of her Le Sserafin groupmates too.
#13 – NINGNING – AESPA
95 points
(2024 position – #19)
Ningning is our last female entrant for 2025, and it’s her first time in picture status, so make her feel welcome! We’ll return to the female polls again in 2026!

*
MOST ATTRACTIVE MEN IN K-POP
#1 – WONHO
166 points
(2024 position – #2)
Now that his military service is over, Wonho has been able to perform his duties for k-pop fans once again, and they’ve rewarded him be giving him back the top spot! This means that Wonho clean-sweeps all male categories of the Kpopalypse Objectification Survey for 2025 – congratualtions Wonho!
#2 – MINGYU – SEVENTEEN
143 points
(2024 position – #1)
Mingyu did the unprecedented and actually beat Wonho in 2024, and while he wasn’t able to repeat that performance this year, he still managed a close second place, so anything could happen in the future!
#3 – SHINDONG – SUPER JUNIOR
126 points
(2024 position – #3)
Should Shindong buy a Cybertruck? He could take lovestruck Kpopalypse readers for a romantic cruise around Seoul while they celebrate his third place with him… that is, if Telsa ever decides to make the hulking great impractical thing compliant with any other country’s road regulations. Just as well this isn’t a survey about the most attractive cars, hey Elon.
#4 – SEONGHWA – ATEEZ
124 points
(2024 position – did not chart)
Sure, the first few entrants are fairly predictable this year, but there were a lot of movements further down the polls in this category. ATEEZ had a good year in 2025 and Seonghwa shoots up to fourth place out of literally nowhere!
#5 – KAI – EXO
114 points
(2024 position – #5)
Kai is a reliable performer in these surveys, and he hangs onto his fifth place from the previous year. He could probably also tell Shindong a thing or two about which cars to buy.
#6 – SAN – ATEEZ
112 points
(2024 position – #9)
ATEEZ were no joke in the Kpopalypse Objectification Survey results this year, and San moves up into sixth place, hot on the heels of his groupmate!
#7 – MINHO – SHINEE
106 points
(2024 position – #7)
Kpopalypse surveydoers certainly felt secure about Minho, and were diligent enough about voting to secure him his spot on the polls from the previous year!
#8 – FELIX – STRAY KIDS
99 points
(2024 position – #10)
Representing for all the long-haired male Australians out there (which I was back in my twink days), Felix from Stray Kids gains a couple places this year. We must be getting trendier in the k-pop space! It feels good to be represented.
#9 – EUNWOO – ASTRO
98 points
(2024 position – did not chart)
I’m not sure where Eunwoo went last year, because he completely dipped out of the polls in 2024, but this year he’s made it back and into the top ten!
#10 – SOOBIN – TXT
94 points
(2024 position – #18)
TXT have been getting more active and popular lately, and Soobin probably as a result did well this year, ascending into picture status for the first time!
#11 – HUENING KAI – TXT
88 points
(2024 position – #25)
Huening Kai is an emerging performer in more than one category this year, and he’s moved past many old favourites to grab picture status!
#12 – MINGI – ATEEZ
85 points
(2024 position – did not chart)
With an incredible three performers in picture status this year, ATEEZ are really dominating the male attractiveness survey results this time around. This time it’s Mingi’s turn to move up!
#13 – TEN – NCT
84 points
(2024 position – #4)
It was a very poor year for NCT in 2025, as I predicted Taeil was absent but what I didn’t predict was almost every other member of NCT also taking a tumble in the attractiveness section of the survey. Ten did well to hang onto picture status in the face of his group’s decline in voting popularity!
