Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So we had to take into account many factors. Appearance alone will not get you ranked at the top. These actresses need to have charm, style, and sex appeal. Below is our list of the top Korean actresses working in film today. Most have not been able to branch out into Hollywood but with the global audience now getting into Korean films due to the success of Parasite, the fan base for these beautiful Korean actresses will only continue to grow. Some might be wondering why Song Hye Kyo is not on the list. She would be, however she has not done a film in a while. We will try to keep this list up to date with Korean actresses that are somewhat active.
