Having a face that fits the “golden ratio” is the dream of many idols. However, one size cannot cater to all, and some Kpop visual goddesses look better the way they already are.
Winter (aespa)
SM Entertainment is often considered a “flower garden” for always recruiting the most stunning trainees. As a result, every SM group has an iconic visual, and aespa Winter is among them. The 4th gen idol is often compared to her senior, SNSD Taeyeon, and often receives praise for her harmonious facial features.
