Son Ye Jin Wins Smart's Most Radiant Special Award for Metro Most Beautiful Korean Actresses

There’s no question to how much we adore the elegance and natural glow of one of our favorite K-drama stars Son Ye-jin. From the moment that Se-ri of Crash Landing On You took our hearts by storm, we followed all her secrets to staying youthful and fashionable even at the age of 38! And as the Korean superstar continues to amaze her fans with all her notable television roles, multiple acting awards, and upcoming Hollywood debut, Metro.Style acknowledges the star's impeccable beauty by granting her a special award—Most Radiant, brought to you by Smart, in Metro’s Most Beautiful Korean Actresses poll.

The campaign was launched last August 26, and fans were asked to nominate the Korean actresses they find to be deserving to be called “most beautiful.” The nomination period began on August 28 and lasted until September 9, followed by the announcement of the Top 10 nominees on September 11. The nominees are Kim Ji-won (Fight for My Way and Arthdal Chronicles), Lee Ji-eun or IU (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Hotel del Luna), Kim Hyun-joo (What’s With This Family and I Have a Lover), Park Min-young (Healer and What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim), Song Ji-hyo (Princess Hours and Emergency Couple), Song Hye-kyo (Full House and Descendants of the Sun), Ku Hye-sun (Boys Over Flowers and Angel Eyes), Kim Go-eun (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God and The King: Eternal Monarch), Seo Ye-ji (Lawless Lawyer and It’s Okay to Not be Okay), and of course, Son Ye-jin (Something in the Rain and Crash Landing on You).

The next phase of the campaign invited fans to vote for the Top 10 nominees from September 11 to September 29 via an online poll system. After more than two weeks of voting, SEO YE-JI emerges as the winner with 43.44% of the total number of votes, which is equivalent to 1,249,630 votes. Closely following her was SON YE-JIN with 36.52% or 1,050,440 votes.

The top three winners enter the circle of three—with Seo Ye-ji, Son Ye-jin, and Kim Go-Eun hailed as Metro muses. Metro.Style likewise announced five other special awards, including this special award—Most Radiant.
