This was the 22nd annual independent critic list since 1990.  TC Candler is known for listing the names of 100 faces on a global scale as it factors in many cultures, lifestyles, professions, and degrees of fame to compose the list.  TC Candler does its best to recognize the modern ideal of beauty and uses millions of suggestions received each year in order to judge the top 100 faces.  It’s not just about the popularity, but also grace, elegance, class, etc that embodies a beautiful face.

These lists have been viewed by over 25million people and over 20 countries were presented in the 2011 list.  Check out TC Candler’s description of SNSD Jessica, Go Ara, and Song Hye Kyo who came at 45th, 12th, and 5th, respectively.

45. Jessica Jung

She is better known simply by her first name, Jessica. She is Korean-American singer, dancer, actress and model. The new addition to our list is a member of the fantastic South Korean nine-member girl group, Girls’ Generation, where she is one of the main vocalists.

 

12. Go Ara

Here is a lovely South Korean actress and model who deserves a worldwide following. The 21-year old enters the list at #12 and will assuredly be a fixture for a very long time.

 

5. Song Hye Kyo

The South Korean actress and model makes her second appearance, rising 13 spots from last year’s debut. She is already one of the legendary beauties of the world and we think she deserves to be celebrated as such by the entire world. Too often, it seems that Western audiences don’t get to enjoy Asian cinema and celebrity as much as they should. Look for her in the upcoming 2012 film, “The Grandmasters” with Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi.

Song Hye Gyo talks about hitting 30 and her “real” personality on Jung Yup’s radio

On October 26th, actress Song Hye Gyo guested on MBC’s radio program, ‘Jung Yup’s Blue Night’, where she shared her thoughts on the myths surrounding her image.

She tackled the idea of her ‘cute’ image first, saying, “If you get to know me, I don’t have a lot of cuteness and am pretty straightforward. My friends also call me stubborn.”

When asked about how she felt when others chose her as their ideal type, she replied, “I’m just thankful to them. But sometimes, they choose someone else, not too long after revealing that I’m their ideal type. That’s when I truthfully feel like they’ve kind of betrayed me”.

DJ Jung Yup also brought up the sensitive topic of Song Hye Gyo’s age. Chuckling, she responded, “Normally, I don’t really think about my age, but every time I do an interview these days, the reporter reminds me that I’m 30. I think 30 is a really good age for actors. Aging and gaining experience as an actor is good because we’ll be able to express things that much more, and I’m anticipating it to be more fun”.

After hearing the radio broadcast, listeners commented, “It’s been a while, so it was good to hear Song Hye Gyo’s sincere thoughts” and “It was time we learned more about Song Hye Gyo [as a person, not just] the actress.”

Song Hye Gyo appreciates compliments on her maturity

Actress Song Hye Gyo showed a big smile to a compliment she received, “You’ve matured as an actress.” For the first time in four years, she returned from her hiatus as an actress with a new movie, ‘Today‘.

Song Hye Gyo couldn’t hide her happiness when she heard compliments from journalists such as “You’ve really played the character well”. She excitedly expressed, “I feel really appreciative for such compliments, because I really missed them.“

“I had a lot of time for contemplation since I had to act out experiences I have never had. I really wanted to work on this movie and that’s why I chose to do it, however I also had a lot of questions regarding whether or not I could do it well.” Song Hye Gyo expressed that despite her concerns, however, she was able to work more smoothly than she originally thought she could.

She also noted, “I think throughout the process of filming I could understand my character, Da Hye’s perspective.”

“I had to keep myself from losing control. Da Hye’s character really gets into me. There were some scenes where I felt that I could have totally lost control, and I had to stop myself from unconsciously doing so. I think it is because I got into this character really deeply, and that’s the reason for my improved acting.”

Song Hye Gyo plays Da Hye who must deal with life after losing her fiancee.  This role reportedly surpasses her previous level of acting. Deep emotions of confusion, guilt, rage, sadness, and loneliness will be delivered to the audience through Song Hye Gyo’s acting.

The movie will be released on October 27th.

Jo Yoon Hee joins ‘Full House Season 2′ as a femme fatale character

Actress Jo Yoon Hee recently joined Hwang Jung Eum and No Min Woo for the anticipated drama sequel, ‘Full House Season 2‘.

The actress will be playing one of the lead roles as ‘Jin Se Ryeong‘, a femme fatale who transitioned from a singer to an actress. She apparently became a Hollywood actress and got her name known all throughout the world. Departing from Jo Yoon Hee’s usual innocent and angelic image, ‘Full House 2′ will see a sexy and sophisticated character.

Just like in the previous season, there will be a three-way relationship when Jin Se Ryeong flies back to Korea in a jealous rage after hearing about her ex-lover Tae-Ik (No Min Woo)’s engagement.

The original ‘Full House‘ series — which starred Song Hye Kyo and Rain — was a huge hit, not just in Korea, but in Japan, China, Taiwan, and several other nations as well. Due to its past success, there have been many eyes watching for updates on the sequel’s line-up.

‘Full House 2′ will be aiming for an international release, as it’s been confirmed that the drama will air in Japan before Korea on March 2012 through Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS).  This will be a golden opportunity for the actors and actresses starring in the drama to make a global appearance.

Speaking about her new project, Jo Yoon Hee commented, “I really enjoyed watching the original series. Since ‘Full House’ was such a popular drama, I do feel a little pressure, but am excited for it.  I will do my best to carry on the success of the original season.”
