Theqoo Poster’s Suggestions:

1. SM Entertainment

Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon

Girls’ Generation is undoubtedly a legendary group in K-Pop and has created many iconic songs and moments. It’s no surprise that arguably the most popular member, Taeyeon, is suggested as the face of SM Entertainment with her honey-sweet voice and stunning beauty.

NCT

NCT has made quite the splash in the K-Pop community and is probably the most interesting concept of interchanging members in K-Pop history. Perhaps one day they could even break the record for most group members. Regardless, their talent and style make them an amazing candidate.

2. YG Entertainment

BLACKPINK

Although only debuting in 2016, BLACKPINK has quickly become a legendary K-Pop group known around the world. Their gorgeous visuals and immense skill has brought amazing success to YG, so it is only right that they are the face of the company.
