Meet The 8 Korean Actresses Who Are Also The Newest Fashion Icons Of 2020

Actresses are the ultimate highlight of any cinematic masterpiece. Whether it be a full-length film or a tv series composed of more or less than 16 episodes, each drama has its own dazzling face. Through the years, these actresses have evolved from women we idolize on screen into personalities we actually follow on social media. They have officially took over our hearts and it has come to the point where we seemingly follow every move they make. From the skincare brands they use, designer pieces that they use everyday or on-screen, and to some extent, we even dress the way they do. 

Their influence has truly shaped the generation today. 2020 clearly started with diverse influence fuelled by the same K-craze energy we brought from last year and the years before.
