The Visual Kings of HYBE: Tracing the Reign of K-Pop's Most Handsome Idols
Within the fiercely competitive global landscape of K-pop, the conversation surrounding "visuals" is a constant buzz, driven by enthusiastic fan communities and global media polls. HYBE Corporation, the entertainment powerhouse behind global sensations like BTS and SEVENTEEN, is home to a roster of male idols consistently recognized for their striking good looks. At the forefront of this visual discussion, members of BTS frequently claim the top spots in international rankings, though talents from other HYBE groups are rapidly rising as the next generation of visual icon.
Beauty may be subjective, but fan consensus often points to two members of the global superstar group BTS: V (Kim Taehyung) and Jimin (Park Jimin).
V has repeatedly been crowned the "Most Handsome Man in the World" in various international polls by publications such as the British magazine Nubia Magazine and Indian media outlets. Praised for his unique charm, deep gaze, and versatility, V's visuals have consistently topped fan votes for multiple consecutive weeks on platforms like Kboard. Not to be outdone, his bandmate Jimin has also established a dominant presence.
Jimin was voted the "Most Handsome Face of K-POP in 2025" for the second consecutive year in a poll, with V and Jungkook following closely in second and third place. Known for his ethereal look and captivating stage presence, Jimin's consistent high rankings solidify his status as a fan favorite. Adding to the BTS visual line is Jin (Kim Seokjin), known affectionately by fans as "Worldwide Handsome."
Rising Visuals Across HYBE Labels While BTS members often dominate the headlines, HYBE's other talented groups feature individuals who are quickly becoming recognized as the faces of the new generation of K-pop visuals.
SEVENTEEN: Members Jun and Mingyu are frequently cited in discussions about top visuals. Mingyu, with his modelesque proportions, is often mentioned in fan discussions as one of the most handsome idols in the industry.
ENHYPEN: Known for their diverse charms, members like Sunghoon and Ni-ki have made significant impressions. Sunghoon's elegant, "ice skater" appearance often earns him praise, and he has appeared in the top rankings of K-pop visual lists.
TXT (Tomorrow X Together): Representing the next generation, Soobin and Beomgyu are noted for their striking, youthful visuals. Beomgyu in particular ranked highly in a 2025 fan vote, showcasing the rising influence of the fourth and fifth generation idols within the HYBE roster.
The Subjectivity of Stardom These rankings, often driven by massive fan engagement and votes, highlight the strong connection between artists and their global fandoms. While beauty is ultimately in the eye of the beholder, the consistent high placements of these HYBE artists demonstrate their immense popularity and universal appeal.
As new groups debut and fan votes continue to pour in, the competition for the unofficial title of "most handsome" remains dynamic, but for now, the visual crown rests firmly within the HYBE family.
