Second, on the list is IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung. The most recent to debut on this list, the IVE member, has inherited the torch of the leading lady of her generation.

1. TAEYEON (GIRLS’ GENERATION)

And coming in first, proving her longevity in an industry that creates stars as fast as they dim their novas, is second-generation stalwart Taeyeon of Girls’ Generation. Just months after releasing her absolute classic album INVU, the singer is enjoying her latest reign as K-Pop’s queen. From hosting Mnet‘s Queendom 2 to her weekly appearance on tvN‘s Amazing Saturday, the usually reserved self-proclaimed hermit, has been gracing K-Pop fans more often, and we are all the better for it.
