According to Allkpop, V (BTS) topped the "Great idols" ranking conducted by Kpop idol community Choeaedol. This page praises V as a global beauty icon.
"Known for his classic handsome appearance, V is often likened to a flower thanks to his delicate features and gentle, elegant air. Fans praise him for his charming face, beautiful nose and curved eyebrows, all of which create a charming look that is both brilliant and sophisticated," the site commented.
Previously, V had been listed as one of the most handsome men in the world many times. He was honored by TC Candler as "Best face of the Year 2017", topped the list of "100 Most attractive Asian Men" for 3 consecutive years and continuously topped Google Trends' searches for "The Most Handsome Man" over the past decade.
A Brazilian pop culture critic once called V "a symbol of Eastern culture, surpassing the traditional masculine image of the West", and praised his role in expanding global beauty standards.
Famous Korean cosmetic surgeons described V as having a "prince's face that blends masculinity and feminine beauty smoothly".
Earlier this year, international media outlet TechnoSports recently announced the list of "10 most handsome men in the world in 2025", in which Korean singer V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS was honored as the most attractive man.
The report emphasized that V surpassed Hollywood and Bollywood icons such as Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson, Chris Evans and Hrithik Roshan to take the top spot.
There are two reasons why V always has high rankings whether competing with Asian stars or European and American artists, that is because V has a good reputation and a handsome appearance that suits the general public.
Nubia Magazine or Special Awards calculates the results based on readers' votes. That means the more fans an artist has, the higher their chances of winning.
On the other hand, V's presence in high rankings will help the list gain more attention, attracting more discussions from the public.
V has a face with a standard golden ratio. Beauty experts call him "the unrealistic representation of a handsome man", according to Allkpop.
Experts assess V's illusionary lines as harmonious, a combination of Eastern and Western beauty and a non-gender beauty: Corneral bone structure but cheeks are crawling, eyelids are one eye but big round, the two sides of the face are not equal, the head is long like a Western person...
In particular, the male idol has a high nose with a bridge of the nose starting to protrude between the eyebrows. This is a rare nose shape and is difficult to get thanks to cosmetic surgery.
