Seol In-ah, 26

From the recently-concluded drama 'Business Proposal', we fell in love with the second female lead Seol In-ah, who played the love interest of cutie Kim Min-kyu. This pretty face has been around for a while, starring in dramas 'Strong Girl Bong-soon' and 'Mr. Queen'. We're inspired by the blunt bob she sported in Business Proposal, we're ready to make the chop too!

Kim Ji-yeon (Bona), 26

The beautiful actress slash singer Bona stars in the nostalgic drama 'Twenty-Five Twenty-One', as an Olympic fencing athlete. She's a member of the Korean-Chinese girl group WJSN, and has lent her face to cosmetics brands like Paul & Joe, and Versace. We love seeing her transform from being a colorful K-pop idol to a girl next door in dramas!

Bang Eun-jung, 29

Often playing bad girl roles in dramas, the stunning Bang Eun-jung proves that hers is a unique face that deserves more attention. We particularly loved her blunt bangs and red hair in 'My Roommate is a Gumiho', which totally made a statement for us!

Kim Ah-young (Yura), 29

This Korean actress is best known by her stage name Yura, and being a part of the girl group Girl's Day, the 29-year-old beauty divides her time between the stage and the small screen. She recently starred in 'Forecasting Love and Weather'. Hers is a face that can easily transform into high fashion looks, with the help of creative makeup!

Kim Min-ha, 26

She may not be as experienced as the others in this list, but Kim Min-ha stars in the show 'Pachinko', where she acts alongside K-drama heavyweights like Lee Min-ho and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung. The 26-year-old has an innocent face, which naturally has freckles and is the perfect muse for makeup editorials.
