The world has a new visual queen, but not everyone's bowing down. On December 29, TC Candler released its annual 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025 list, and BLACKPINK’s Rosé seized the No.1 spot. While her global fandom is in a frenzy of celebration, a wave of skepticism from Korean netizens has sparked a heated debate online.
Rosé Topped TC Candler 2025 Rankings Amid Global Praise
Rosé's ascent to the top isn't just a win for her; it's a testament to her massive international influence. Fans across the globe flooded social media, praising her signature elegance and unique aura. However, the announcement hasn't been met with universal acclaim. In South Korea, the ranking quickly became a flashpoint on online communities, with many questioning the list's credibility and whether it favors popularity over traditional visual standards.
The Rosé TC Candler Controversy: Why the Divided Opinions?
Critics in Korea have pointed out that the ranking doesn't always align with local beauty ideals. Some comments on Instagram and community boards argued that while Rosé is undeniably talented and fit, other stars like her bandmate Jisoo might better represent the "classic" Korean visual. Others took a harsher tone, suggesting that popularity and global reach weigh too heavily in TC Candler's secret selection formula.
