These '00-liner' stars have not only dominated the music charts but have also established themselves as the ultimate visual icons of the industry.

Leading the pack is Karina of aespa, widely regarded as one of the top visual leaders of K-pop's fourth generation.

Another standout dragon-born icon is Nancy of MOMOLAND. Celebrated for her stunning dual heritage, Nancy’s classic, fairy-tale features have captivated global audiences for years.
