The 10 Sexiest Women in K-Pop According to West Coast Sound

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

The women of K-pop are a formidable force: the biggest selling acts in the genre, after all, are female, and they appeal to guys and girls alike. From bubbly girls, to sex pots, to empowered ladies and divas, it's truly a mixed bag of incredibly sexy women. Here are our favorites.


10. BoA
BoA is the undeniable Queen of K-pop. Now 26, she became a major sensation as a teenager, when her image resembled that of Britney Spears. Now, with over 10 million records sold, she's captivated audiences not only in Korea, but also in Japan, where she continues to be one of the biggest idols. Her U.S. efforts include the English hit "Eat You Up," as well as a lead role in the upcoming 2013 film Make Your Move 3D.


9. Yoobin (Wonder Girls)
If you've ever heard any K-pop, you've seen the Wonder Girls' "Nobody" video. This girl group is one of the biggest selling and most exposed K-pop acts around the world, and it's bolstered by prolific rapper Yoobin. She's the resident "down ass girl" whose husky voice, reminiscent of a young Queen Latifah, keeps the group from falling into the saccharine deep end.


8. Hyuna
If K-pop has a bad girl, it's this tatted up hellcat who loves to twerk it. Hyuna was a brief member of the Wonder Girls and later signed onto 4Minute, the Pussycat Dolls of K-pop. It was fate: this group was a perfect match for Hyuna's nasty gal sex appeal. Though her solo work tends to feature her bubbly Marilyn Monroe coos, she steals the show as a rapper. Her 2010 music video for "Change" was deemed too sexy and was initially slapped with a 19+ age rating.

7. Amber Liu (f(x))
South Korea is one of the most conservative East Asian nations, but it's starting to come around. Perhaps that's why it's currently obsessed with gender bending -- and girls dressing like boys. Liu, an Angelino native of Taiwanese descent, is a true tomboy, and everyone's crushing on her. Her early inspiration? Mike Shinoda, of Linkin Park. Liu cooly defies standards of K-pop because she refuses to be anything but herself. She's the girl everyone wants to impress and be friends with, even Anna Kendrick.


6. Gain (Brown Eyed Girls)
If anyone's gunning for Kylie Minogue status, it's Gain, the gamine leader of Brown Eyed Girls. She tests the boundaries of modesty in K-Pop with her lusty expressions and kinky dance moves, and recently appeared in Psy's "Gentlemen" video as a vixen who whips him into submission with hilariously raunchy antics. Gain is genuinely at ease with her body and sexuality, and she doesn't blush at the idea of owning it. Hot.

5. Girls Generation
Girls Generation is a fantasy come true for many, including Bill Murray, and their record sales prove it. If there were ever an official act that represented K-pop worldwide, it's this 9-member group of leggy girls. From Tiffany's infamous "eye smile" to Taeyeon's surprisingly powerful voice, Girls Generation is a full-service pop outfit that delivers everything from naval costumes to infectious, brain-boring pop anthems like "Gee."


4. CL (2NE1)
Though sometimes cheesy, CL loves to boast she's the "baddest female." With a ballistic rap style and unbridled swagger, many are inclined to agree. She's also the muse of fashion designer Jeremy Scott. Early in her group's career, a lot of media ragged on her appearance, which many considered unattractive. CL once revealed that her record company wanted her to undergo plastic surgery, but she refused. We love a confident girl who owns it. Haters, take note, that's truly sexy.


3. Park Gyuri (Kara)
When an entire country considers you an ethereal goddess, you probably wouldn't consider a drag role to be your next career move, but Park Gyuri has proven to be not only a hot girl, but also a convincing boy as well. Park is member of Kara, a tart girl groupwith a kitty schtick. This "it girl" has captivated her home country with her acting skills and recently made her musical debut in 200 Pounds Beauty, which is based on the titular South Korean film.

2. 2NE1
K-pop delivers an assembly line of impossibly "perfect" girls, and there's seriously something wrong with that. Since their debut in 2009, 2NE1 has changed the industry with their empowering and fearless messages. They are immensely popular around the world, especially among girls and gay people, and have a discography of bombastic tunes. The girls of 2NE1 are pretty, but that's not the point: each member shines with distinct talents, and together, they're an amazing spectacle. Stick together, girls!

1. Lee Hyori
Armed with a cheeky personality, as well as a bodacious voice and body, Lee is the original hottie of K-pop, to which she brings a bawdy All-American flavor. After a stint as a popular TV show host, Lee returned to K-pop and reminded everyone that she's rightfully the "elder sister" whom wide-eyed pop stars bow down to. In an industry where being hot is largely defined by looking girly and acting coquette, Lee doesn't defy her age -- 34 -- but rather embraces it. She's indelibly womanly -- and fierce

pretty standard list, not really any surprises. though the inclusion of whole groups is laughable. the mention of snsd's genie deserves a thumbs up because those uniforms were unf

lol amber. i love you, boo, but lbr. HRH victoria song belongs there.

and wow; rude at this list for thinking that ga-in is BEG's leader. I love her and I am not denying her hotness, but let's get our facts straight with that.

BoA should be a lot higher imo and I'm iffy about 2ne1 being on /that/ high. CL's spot is good though.

[moonfox35.livejournal.com]

Yessssssss at Ga-In.

I'm totally biased but someone from nine muses should be here.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

IA, I nominate Hyuna or Sera but I wonder if they're still too nugu to make a list like this

[gypsy-sonata.livejournal.com]

i agree with some of the people on the list except for their rankings. Hyori's the only they got right.

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Now I like cl (she's been looking real good to me), but why cl got a separate rank from the group?

My other issue is they could've atleast used a better pic of cl like from gq korea with the stop sign.

Eta
Since when was 4minute the Korean PCD? The only group I remember being referred to as such was during After School's debut. Also, Ga-in should be higher up. I love 2ne1 girls, but she should be 2nd.

I can't believe I forgot about Sistar. They could've taken a spot and removed either cl or 2ne1 as a group from one of the spots.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Hyori UNF!

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Hyuna's entire paragraph makes me want to throw up, but her placement is fine.

[boncoup.livejournal.com]

What, you don't think she's a nasty, twerking hellcat?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I am surprised at some of the list...YES for Amber being on it...

Gain deserves her place but she is NOT the leader of BEG dear..*tsk tsk*

Referencing the media treatment of CL and her refusal to get plastic surgery...I guess SOME research was done which I was doubting based on the Gain as leader reference

Hyori is always going to top these lists LOL

I am surprised by the inclusion of GROUPS in the form of SNSD and 2NE1...like an entire group LOL

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

whoa wasn't expecting to see amber on this kind of list but i totally agree

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Never even expected to see Amber on this list O___O

But this list is valid as long as Goddess Hyori is in the top spot because she is fierce, flawless and fabulous! XD

[markama.livejournal.com]

100% agree ;)

GLARING omission IMO -

[iyarheaa.livejournal.com]

nugu???

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Yes to Amber, but BoA needs to be higher. This list is also missing SISTAR.

Gain is the leader of BEG? 4minute are the Pussycat Dolls?

[omgcats.livejournal.com]

I love that CL and 2NE1 are on here separately.

[annhh.livejournal.com]

not in any dimension, but this list is cray anyway

[chanqsun.livejournal.com]

love hyori but why da fuck is BoA last....?
my baby BoA should be way higher than CL tbqh... :/

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I'd have loved to see Ivy, Nine Muses, Sistar (anyone but Dasom really) and even Ladies Code.

How could I forget about Rania?! Diiiiiii •____•

[almightykuzon.livejournal.com]

Fuck yeahhh, Ga-in and BoA and Hyori. :3

[uledy.livejournal.com]

Yessss at Amber being on the list. She's pretty much the only kpop lady I'd actually hit. She's so sexy ;~~~; I'm not into femmes and that seems to be all there is in kpop -__- thank god for Amber.

[contralilium.livejournal.com]

You know, I'd agree with most of the list, I think some of the rankings are off, but yeah most of sexiest ladies are already here.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

Amber is sexy as fuck idk

[milkshake.livejournal.com]

This list makes me angry from a feminist point of view...
You can't put a whole group in one spot, they're individual beings. I understand putting 2 girls in the same place, as a tie. But this is not what's happening here. After all, by having both 2NE1 and CL on the list it puts CL on the list twice. How can that be?
*sigh*

[i-jennerayy.livejournal.com]

CL and 2NE1...redundant

also is there no better way to phrase the point that was trying to be made by "among-girls-and-gay-people"

[klauses.livejournal.com]

amber makes me wetter than seaworld

[daftpunkremix.livejournal.com]

"Since their debut in 2009, 2NE1 has changed the industry with their empowering and fearless messages."

which are still written and scripted by men so ??? idgi this writer talks about who's sexy but then goes on to berate the k-pop industry for churning out beautiful ladies? am i the only person confused

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

where is secret, sistar, and after school?

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Jung Ah DEFINITELY deserves to be here, and likely Nana as well
