Irene moved 107 places in the last seven days. Irene climbed from rank 121 to rank 14 in the 100 Most Beautiful Faces in K-pop 2026 poll. This is the single largest movement across all open races this week. The surge puts Irene among the top contenders in the vote and marks a significant shift in the Beautiful Faces ranking.
The Beautiful Faces poll shows sustained activity among climbers beyond Irene. Four other candidates posted strong gains. Daniela moved from rank 96 to rank 37, up 59 places. Beomgyu moved from rank 96 to rank 39, up 57 places. Sakura moved from rank 96 to rank 57, up 39 places. Manon moved from rank 63 to rank 27, up 36 places. These broad movements show voters actively reshaping the rankings across multiple candidates in the poll.
The 100 Most Attractive Asian Celebs 2026 poll saw its own significant climber. San rose from rank 75 to rank 33, up 42 places. This movement parallels the momentum visible in the Beautiful Faces poll and suggests sustained voter engagement across multiple K-pop beauty races. San's rise brings another strong competitor into the top tier of the Asian Celebs ranking.
The Beautiful Faces poll recorded notable declines alongside the climbs. Chaeyoung fell from rank 63 to rank 101, down 38 places. This is the largest single drop this week. Jeonghan, Joshua, Mingyu and Vernon each dropped from rank 41 to rank 57, a decline of 16 places each. These four Seventeen members faced similar voting shifts. The group dropped together, suggesting voters moved away from that section of the ranking.
The Asian Celebs poll also saw a notable faller. Sunghoon dropped from rank 54 to rank 78, down 24 places. This decline shows movement beyond the Beautiful Faces poll alone.
This week's rank movements reveal active and dynamic voting across K-pop's major beauty races. Irene's extraordinary 107-place climb leads all movers, but sustained climbs from Daniela, Beomgyu, Sakura, Manon and San show the momentum extends across multiple candidates. Meanwhile fallers including Chaeyoung and the four Seventeen members show voting patterns continue to shift rapidly. Both climbers and fallers suggest voters are reshaping the races as balloting continues.
