Taeyeon, Jessica, and Yoona Rank in ‘Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces 2012’

Taeyeon, Jessica, and Yoona are ranked in “The 23rd Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces – 2012″. Every year, TC Candler carefully selects the most beautiful faces from a worldwide selection of stars. Rather than choosing the most famous and the most attractive women based solely on outer appearances, TC Candler’s list looks beyond aesthetics, combining facial features that display grace, class, elegance, poise, joy, promise, and hope into their selection.

“The Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces″ encompasses women from different cultures and backgrounds, and, in this year’s ranking, 25 different countries are represented. This is a well-known and popular annual list that has received over 30 million unique visits from around the world. Last year, Jessica made her first appearance in the selection, ranking 45th overall. This year, Jessica rose in the rankings, jumping to fifth place. Taeyeon and Yoona also make their first appearances on the list, ranking 42nd and 50th, respectively.

Jessica, Tiffany, and Yuri Hear Their Fortunes on SBS’s ‘Midnight TV Entertainment’

On December 26th, Girls’ Generation made a special appearance on SBS’s “Midnight TV Entertainment”, a show hosted by Sooyoung and YB’s Yoon Dohyun. In their short but very funny segment, the members of Girls’ Generation were told their fortunes by Sooyoung, who revealed what Jessica, Tiffany, and Yuri could expect next year.

Sooyoung began by asking which of the members were born in the year of the Snake, which fell on 1989, and said, “The fortune for the snake zodiac in 2013 is in my hand.” Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, and Yuri, all born in 1989, raised their hands.

Sooyoung then revealed Tiffany’s fortune, saying that Tiffany would be offered a representative position in business. However, she continued, “Rather than starting something new, it would be better to wait it out a little longer.”

Jessica was told, “You will have luck in dating. Your partner could be overseas.” Sooyoung also added, “Is it by any chance, Daniel Henney?” Jessica quickly responded, “Yes~.”

Finally, Sooyoung revealed to Yuri, “You will have good energy, and energy for a drama is especially great. There is a high possibility of you playing the main role.”

Girls' Generation's Comeback Raises SM Entertainment Stock Value By $93 Million USD

Even before officially making their return, Girls’ Generation is already having a huge impact. News of their upcoming comeback has helped raise the stock value of SM Entertainment by 100 billion KRW (approximately $93 million USD).

SM Entertainment had suffered a recent fall of 4.19% percent in their shares as of December 20th. However, on December 21st, Girls’ Generation’s “Dancing Queen” was released. They also announced their return to television and music programs in January, making this their first album in a year, since ‘The Boys‘.

Within two days of the announcement of their comeback, SM Entertainment’s shares shot up immediately and SM Entertainment’s market capitalization was increased by 100 billion KRW. This rise has brought SM Entertainment back as a competitor with major entertainment companies with a lot of trade volume such as YG Entertainment, as well as Loen Entertainment.

A stock market expert stated, “SM Entertainment is different because Girls’ Generation is one of their major acts and holds so much power with the ability to change their stock price.“
