A poll organized by a Czech Republic doll designer team has chosen BTS's Jin as having the world's “best-sculpted face.”
“CzDollic” selected Jin and nine others from among 18,000 male faces from 58 countries.
More than 1.5 million people then voted for the final 10, which the design group had chosen. Voting took place from Dec. 15 to Jan. 15 this year.
The team's Czech site said Jin, whose real name is Kim Seok-jin, received more than 1 million votes. It said the star's face rendered on a three-dimensional graphic showed “oval features balanced symmetrically that can be filmed from any angle and his mouth beautifully curved.”

The group revealed a specially designed winning trophy for Jin ― a crystal cube gleaming in a blue aura with his three-dimensional face, right-half actual and left-half graphic-designed, engraved inside.
The seven-member K-pop boy band member from Big Hit Entertainment was followed in the poll by Indian TV actor Ravi Bhatia and American model Sean O'Pry.
Jin's near-perfect visage was a figure of interest in February 2018 when a foreign plastic surgeon analyzed his face. He said after studying 269 Asian male faces that Jin's frontal face matched the “golden ratio of 1:1.618” ― 1 being the cross-distance between ears and the other between chin and hairline.
