Korean version of People magazine selected The Most Beautiful Koreans earlier this month. Artist Eric Mun and Jeon Ji-hyun came top on the list.
The selection was made by group of expertise that rate the celebrities according to their body figure, face, eyes, fashion sense and attitude. Popularity is not a rating factor, but beautiful people are normally popular.
On top of the male list is actor/singer Eric Mun from veteran boyband Shinhwa.
2nd is rising actor Gang Dong-won, who is probably most famous for movie “Duelist.”
3rd is Kwon Sang-woo, one of Korea’s most popular actor.
Top of the female list is “My Sassy Girl” and “Windstruck” actress Jeon Ji-hyun.
2nd in the women list is Asia popular actress Choi Ji-woo, who starred in “Winter Sonata” and “Stairway To Heaven.”
3rd is another famous actress Song Hye-kyo, whose popular dramas include “Autumn In My Heart” and “My Girl and I.”

jeon is not kool i yhink she’s a whore for taking all these slutting picture on a site site.
October 29th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
It’s good that song hye-kyo is included in the list. I really think that she’s a wonderful and beautiful person in and out. Kudos to those who voted for her
I hope that jung ji-hoon and won bin are also included in the list.
October 29th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
I need a few minutes to figure out who is Jung Ji-hoon lol… so it’s Rain real name.
November 8th, 2006 at 3:59 pm
i think WON BIN should be first follow by LEE DONG WOOK and KWON SANG WOO
November 8th, 2006 at 11:10 pm
jac.. the other guys you mentioned are pretty cool too. Guess that the judges have different taste, just like everyone having different opinions.
November 9th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
i think aj’s comment should be delected.
November 9th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
i mean ‘deleted’.
November 10th, 2006 at 12:41 am
omg.. where the hell is won bin? why isnt he in this list? haha
November 10th, 2006 at 3:26 pm
song hye kyo and choi ji woo are my choices too. for the males it’s won bin ,rain and kwon sang woo.they ‘re really beautiful people inside and out.
November 10th, 2006 at 11:06 pm
blah.. I don’t normally delete comments unless they are using very rude words. For some people Jun Ji-hyun does seem a bit slutty; for people that like her, we call Ji-hyun sexy instead :)
There are obviously many handsome guys and pretty girls in Korea, too bad they can only choose a few for this list.
November 12th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
kim hee sun is also very beautiful
November 19th, 2006 at 4:15 am
As much as i like Jun Ji-Hyun, I’d still say Song Hye Kyo is physically more beautiful than her. I guess it’s just because JJH has a more flattering, tall body, while SHK has a short, stubby figure (which I love, by the way…) And it also says attitude, fashion sense, etc, so maybe SHK is a major biatch in real life, but I don’t care.
November 20th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
despite the fact the SHK hasnt been into so many exposures nowadays, she still managed to be on the third spot…she’s really incredible and i hope what i’ve heard is true..that SHK is very beautiful inside (of course, she is!!) and out…
November 23rd, 2006 at 6:01 am
what is this i hear about Jeon being a slut on a website w. pics?
what is this incident?
i never heard of it.
some one please inform me.
November 23rd, 2006 at 10:12 am
iwant… it’s not a specific incident. Jeon Ji-hyun is indeed famous for some of her sexy photos and commercial videos… people that don’t like it might find it over seductive, and slutty perhaps.
November 25th, 2006 at 2:52 pm
Wow…
Choi Ji Woo is second! How amazing! I love her in all her dramas. She’s such an amazing actress. She should get first instead. SHK, is also indeed beautiful as well. They both are an amazing actress who deserves both the titles for beautiful people!
I love the choices!!!!
December 17th, 2006 at 5:49 pm
It’s because AJ loves the penor. True story.
December 18th, 2006 at 9:51 am
Hurray! I LUV Eric and i’m glad he’s #1^_^.
December 25th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
It is rather difficult to chose who is first or second, for my opinion most of
the Korean filmstars are good looking.
Eric Mun is one of my fans too, he is also popular, and those chosen for the
beautiful people, they do have good looks & etc. besides being amazing
actors and actresses. I am happy for them, and really hope that in the near
future, these beautiful filmstars will give us more good movies and dramas.
Do not let us down O.k. ?

Nicely said Doris… merry Xmas and happy new year.

dong won is not cute at all.
January 12th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
I actually think that dong-won is pretty cool in the duelist, but then… it’s odd that people like won-bin or lee jon-ki is not high up on the list.
January 13th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
omg!!! eric mun is soo hot..i dont think Gang Dong-won desert to be on the top 3 list…And for the girl i dont think song hye kyo should be on the list too.. it should of have been kim tae hee…
January 23rd, 2007 at 4:02 pm
OMG!!! ERIC MUN?… yuck.. as in yuck!
Here in our country he looks like a construction worker! Sorry just being honest..
About the gaLs, i agree to those three pretty faces! BUT… Jeon Ji hyun doesnt deserve to be on TOP 1.. So simple face.. yah she has an edge only on height, and hair…but beautiful face??? oh well i dont think so!!!…
By the way.. Kwon Sang Woo is really handsome.. but instead of Eric Mun it should be ” WON BIN” or Jang Dong Gun!!! Do they have eyes??? lol! (-: and instead of Jeon Ji Hyun
it should be Choi Ji Woo, Song Hye Kyo and “KimTae Hee… (in guys) Kim Sang Woo, Jang Dong Gun and Kim Sang Woo……..
P.S.
Jeon Ji Hyun is tall, sexy, and hot…but the term “BEUTIFUL” is different.
(Maybe they based that on their career status)
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Well according to the article… they based on body figure, face, eyes, fashion sense and attitude; but nothing career or popularity related.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholders… different people will have different perceptions. If we change all the judges and make another chart I bet there could be a different top 3.
March 5th, 2007 at 9:57 am
I agree 4 eric on d top, but of course there r so many beautiful korean actor. But still eric hv many specialty. Go eric..
March 5th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
wow!!!!
it’s so well fitted for eric to be on the top…/he is such a charismatic and talented actor…hey a gr8 rapper as well…by the way to the asian lady who wrot de above comment go and get glasses
March 15th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
eric moon is a perfect guy…i really admire him so much…and also lee wan…hope,both of them can be my bf…hehehehe
March 19th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
i think u shld take a look at other guys before you call eric mun “yuck”. he has one of th emost perfect features n to say tt e judges picked their choices based on his carrer is just giving yrself away tt u dun even understand simple english as u could not understand w earlier paragragh written sayin tt they were picked based on body figure, face, eyes, fashion sense and attitude; but nothing career or popularity related. thus i just want to say that feel ashamed for u. and to say he looks like a construction worker is like an insult to his fans. by sayin tt n sayin sorry afterwards is like slapping someone n saying sorry so i advise you to mind your language in the future
March 19th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
hi eric mun,

I’m crazy to you..i like your song..and your sty..

March 20th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
hi song hye kyo i love u very much
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:11 am
Congratulations to both of them! they deserve it. I just wish their inner self is as beautiful as their physical appearance.
hehe, I like Mun’s funny role in Super Rookie!
March 23rd, 2007 at 10:57 am
omaigod eric on top…i luv him veri much n he deserved it
March 25th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Bae Yong Joon is very handsome, but do not have any dramas or movies lately, so he was forgotten. Kwon Sang Woo, Bae Yong Joon & Lee Dong Wook are the best looking for me. Choi Ji Woo & Lee Dae Hae are my choices for the most beautiful. They are both tall, slim, pretty & talented. Song Hye Kyo is pretty, too, but not very tall according to the profile I read on her.
March 25th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
P.S. To be a candidate in a beauty contest, the contestant should be at least 5′8 and above. Song Hye Kyo is only 5′3″.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
nordelm… you are probably right on Bae Yon-joon, he might be a bit ‘forgotten’ these days.
Btw, it’s not actually a beauty contest… Song Hye-kyo is just as qualified as everyone else.
March 28th, 2007 at 11:20 am
Height is very much part of beauty which is the topic of this site (most beautiful koreans).
March 28th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
It’s not just about height, it’s the proportion of the body that matters.
March 29th, 2007 at 12:52 am
Whatever you say. It’s your site.
May 8th, 2007 at 7:35 am
i love eric mun and he is so hot in the movie firebird and sad at banjun dramas cuz he always die
May 27th, 2007 at 2:50 pm

June 4th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Hi?
Eric Mun ich mag dich so sehr. Du bist cool. Sogar sehr sehr…….
Bei nahe kann ich es nicht,.Darum schicke ich dir 1000 Kusse from my heart.

Und Song Hye Kyo ist sehr hubsch. Ich finde sie muss die Erste sein.
Also,viel Erfolg!
June 4th, 2007 at 7:04 pm

Ich wurde sehr freuen, wenn ich dich irgendwann mal sehe.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:01 am
Eric deserves on the top. His personalities make him special. The more I see his shows or hear his songs the more I addicted to him. Love Eric……..^_^
June 18th, 2007 at 4:27 am
song hye gyo and kwong sang woo should be on top. that’s how filipinos look at the situation. to these two beautiful people, we wished you were the winners, you’re more deserving.
June 23rd, 2007 at 7:12 am

song hye kyo should be on top of the list he he Full house rules…..I also believe that on the male list lee dong wook should be number one !!!! why is he not on the lists he’s the best looking korean male
January 21st, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Though I love Shinhwa so much…….I think the most handsome is Jun Jin hehehe….I love Eric specially in super Rookie and Que sera sera he is a good actor………but Jun jin is more handsome in my opinion……
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
just accept what have been decided… we’re not the judges so let’s respect their decision. each one of us have his or her own choices… if who we like is not in the list it doesn’t mean that they’re not beautiful or handsome or sexy for that matter. as the saying goes, “YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYBODY”. and i agree with you yummy…BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. and just make a friendly and happy remarks guys… maybe what you post hurt other people’s feelings. if this happens to you… i’m pretty sure you’ll be hurt too. PEACE GUYS!!!
January 30th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
eric is the first, i absolutely agree.. he is young, full of energy, has brilliant eyes, his body language is perfect and most of all he has heartrob sex appeal. On top of that, his masculine voice when rapping is adorable…
Great ! eric you deserve to be the most beautiful korean.keep up your good work.
