The Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2014 has been released. This year's list includes virtual unknowns to megastars, and represents almost 30 different countries!

The criteria for the list is different from most beauty polls and lists. According to the Independent Critics official description, "Unlike many other annual publications, The Independent Critics List is not a popularity contest. It is not about the sexiest or the most famous. Rather, it aims to be a very international list and one that is inclusive of many cultures, lifestyles, professions and degrees of fame. The Independent Critics List intends to inform public opinion rather than reflect it. This list searches far and wide, listening to the millions of suggestions submitted every year, and tries to put together a list representative of the modern ideal of beauty."

So, did your favorites make the list? At the #93 spot was You Who Came From The Stars actor Kim Soo Hyun. At #84 was SHINee's vocalist Kim Jonghyun, making his debut on the list for the very first time. At #78 was soloist Rain, who dropped down from his #46 spot last year. At #61 was Big Bang's Taeyang, who also dropped from his #33 spot last year. EXO's Baekyhun was at #38, Super Junior's Lee Donghae took #34, and Big Bang's T.O.P debuted at #18. There were two K-pop stars in the top ten, with 2PM's Taecyeon taking #10 and Choi Siwon jumping five spots from his previous position and landing at #2.
