Each year since 1990, The Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces, created by TC Candler, has been published, striving to present an inclusive list that features celebrities from over 50 countries.

Following the 20 years of hype the 100 Most Beautiful Faces list had created, TC Candler made 100 Most Handsome Faces list in 2013. Both lists have featured numerous K-Pop idols for the past decade as the Hallyu wave has spread worldwide.
