Satomi Ishihara included in group of eight Japanese idols, actors, and entertainers chosen as among the most attractive in the world.
This week, the selections for the TC Candler 100 Most Beautiful and 100 Most Handsome Faces were revealed. The annual list counts down the organization’s picks for the most attractive faces from the worldwide entertainment and modeling industries.
Filipino-American actress Liza Soberano and Korean pop star Kim Tae-hyung (also known by his stage name, V) were chosen as the top picks, but four Japanese women and four Japanese men also made the lists.
Sana Minatozaki, member of idol group Twice, captured the 21st spot on the Most Beautiful Faces list, the highest ranking for any Japanese national this year.
▼ Coincidentally, Minatozaki turned 21 on December 29, just a few days after being chosen as having the 21st most beautiful face in the world.

Fans of former AKB48 idol Nana Owada, idol-turned-actress Kanna Hashimoto, and actress/model Mirei Kiritani, all of whom were early nominees for the Most Beautiful Faces list, are no doubt sad to see them left out of the final top 100, but can look forward to them possibly getting full recognition next year.
