The Kpopalypse 2025 Objectification Survey results part 1 of 4 – best FEMALE BOOBS and MALE TORSO/ABS in k-pop

1 day ago 12

It’s that time of the year again – time to objectify your favourite idols in the Kpopalypse Objectification Survey results! Let’s take a look at the winners for 2025 in the all-important category of upper-body objectification!

Every year I write some thing here about why I do these objectification surveys for the knuckleheads who don’t get it (or just copy-paste the same shit from last year and hope nobody notices), but honestly a list like this doesn’t require justification. In today’s k-pop landscape where k-pop fans are as conservative and brainwashed as any fundamentalist religious cult member, and conversely all the “adult” k-pop content is AI-generated slop, ugly deepfakes or terrible Photoshops, there’s a desperate need for a middle-ground of sanity where the effort that k-pop’s men and women put into their appearances is appreciated. The entire industry runs on objectification, and if you’re following k-pop in any manner at all then you’re part of it, so why not embrace it? Let’s be honest, those of you who like these posts skip this introduction bit because you don’t need a stupid copy-pasted preamble, and the people who hate these posts don’t read it either because they mostly can’t read and that’s why they don’t understand this entire site to begin with and get so mad about everything. I could write anything I want here and nobody would even see it. Lately I’ve been adding some trans porn into my fap rotation just to mix up my playlist a little.

As per previous years, voters were asked to choose up to three nominees in each category, best first, and points were allocated as per the following system:

Your first choice was weighted 100% higher than your second choice
Your second choice was weighted 66% higher than your third choice
If you doubled or tripled on choices, only the first choice was counted

Scores were then tallied to give the final results across all categories.

The four results posts are as follows:

Part 1: FEMALE BOOBS and MALE ABS/TORSO – this post!

Part 2: FEMALE and MALE ASSES – coming soon!

Part 3: FEMALE and MALE LEGS – coming soon!

Part 4: OVERALL MOST ATTRACTIVE FEMALES and MALES – coming soon!

Remember folks – that if you object to any of the choices here for any reason, you only have yourselves to blame as these were 100% your votes, not mine. Kpopalypse does not even cast a vote – these are NOT my picks but YOURS, and this isn’t like a rigged Korean TV show where the “judges” get a say and can overturn fan opinion. If you want to see a certain result, then it’s your responsibility to spread the surveys to the people who are going to vote for your faves!

On the other hand, if you object to this entire post in general, greetings to you, I hope you’re enjoying being a secret fan of this site. You tried to resist clicking on this but you were weak and just couldn’t stop yourself, could you? That’s okay, I understand. Don’t worry, I don’t have advertising like every other k-pop site ever, I will use your clicks responsibly.

BEST FEMALE BOOBS

#1 – KWON EUNBI

1324 points

(2024 position – #1)

Last year’s race for the top spot in k-pop boobs was close – this year it wasn’t. Kwon Eunbi doubled down on her reputation as “Queen of Waterbomb” with some killer performances, and it made all the difference to this year’s placings, leaving the competition in the dust and securing her another win. Congratulations, Eunbi!

#2 – KARINA – AESPA

608 points

(2024 position – #2)

Karina maintained her second place with some ‘dirty work‘ this year, although not that dirty really because what could be cleaner than being squirted with a bunch of hoses?

#3 – JIHYO – TWICE

515 points

(2024 position – #4)

Twice’s Jihyo gained a spot in 2025, with Kpopalypse readers showing their love for veteran performers once again. This is Jihyo’s ninth year in picture status and her tenth year in the survey results!

#4 – ZZONE/JEEWON – EX CIGNATURE

305 points

(2024 position – #3)

Jeewon’s departure from her old group Cignature, her absence from Waterbomb, plus her somewhat confusing name change might have all been responsible for the sharp decline in her votes for 2025. Nevertheless Jeewon’s performance in the voting in a bad year is still enough to get her to fourth place!

#5 – SWAN – PURPLE KISS

218 points

(2024 position – #10)

Her label might be completely wasting her and her groupmates’ talents as they prepare to predictably wind Purple Kiss up later this year, but Kpopalypse readers didn’t forget about Swan herself, moving her up several placings!

#6 – YEL – H1-KEY

201 points

(2024 position – #6)

Yel maintains her position from last year, and increases her points score by a single digit, making her 0.5% more popular with Kpopalypse readers now than she was 12 months ago!

#7 – CHOWON – LIGHTSUM

195 points

(2024 position – #16)

It’s Chowon’s first time ever in the top ten of the Kpopalypse Objectification Survey! She moved past many old favourites and even her own groupmate Nayoung who this year didn’t even get enough votes to chart! What made the switch happen I’m not sure, but 2025 is Chowon’s year!

#8 – GISELLE – AESPA

152 points

(2024 position – did not chart)

This year’s first brand new entrant isn’t a brand new performer – Giselle has been around in aespa for a while now but has only just started getting really noticed in the boobs category of the polls. I guess it was all that ‘dirty work’.

#9 – CHAEYEON – TRIPLE S

146 points

(2024 position – #15)

With twenty four members in Triple S, it was just mathematics that one of them would hit picture status in the Objectification Survey results eventually, and Chaeyeon is the first one! Or maybe she isn’t, I mean who can even keep track of them all… this is Chaeyeon, right?

#10 – MOMO – TWICE

141 points

(2024 position – #8)

Momo has been charting in the polls for a long time, and she’s still in the top ten after many years even after most of her groupmates have dropped out. What’s her secret? It must be in that bottle…

#11 – NATTY – KISS OF LIFE

106 points

(2024 position – #5)

Kiss Of Life’s Natty dropped a few places this year, it must be all the Kpopalypse surveydoers upset that she did that appropritastic hip-hop birthday party and insistent on “holding her accountable”… who says this site isn’t socially conscious?

#12 – JEON SOMI

89 points

(2024 position – #14)

After slipping out of the polls last year, Jeon Somi is back, thanks to… well, I’m really not sure. Hey thanks to the person who linked me the Somi video the other day, I appreciate you saving me the trouble of having to search.

#13 – EUNHA – VIVIZ

82 points

(2024 position – #13)

Eunha maintains her placing from last year and rounds out the female boobs portion of the polling for 2024!

Of course Kpopalypse is all about equal opportunity of objectification, and the survey wouldn’t be complete without the all-important male results! Let’s now take a look at the hottest slabs of man-meat for 2025!

BEST MALE ABS/TORSO

#1 – WONHO

439 points

(2024 position – #1)

He’s back! Having returned from military service, there’s no stopping Wonho now. Was there ever any doubt about this year’s #1?

#2 – SHINDONG – SUPER JUNIOR

156 points

(2024 position – #4)

Some people are just so physically gifted that they don’t even need to try. It doesn’t matter that he’s always wearing suits these days, Kpopalypse readers can practically smell those sweet Shindong abs.

#3 – MINHO – SHINEE

143 points

(2024 position – #2)

Minho is still riding high off his recent return to the polls last year, and readers are still appreciating the Minho abs!

#4 – KAI – EXO

138 points

(2024 position – #11)

After a strange dip in popularity last year, Kai returns to the upper placings. He’s someone who has been in picture status every single year since these polls began, I’m pretty sure about that, I’m not checking because it might threaten my increasingly fragile hold on my heterosexuality from making these lists year after year…

#5 – MINHYUK/HUTA – BTOB

137 points

(2024 position – #3)

Minhyuk has been working hard. Look at those chains. I’m sure some of my readers wouldn’t mind a Minhyuk chained up in their house but until then you’ll just have to settle for this list.

#6 – BAEKHO – NU’EST

125 points

(2024 position – #5)

“But in k-pop, aren’t women more objectified than men?” Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, meanwhile Kpopalypse readers who know the truth will just respectfully observe Baekho’s fully naked upper body proudly on display for another year.

#7 – MINGYU – SEVENTEEN

122 points

(2024 position – #6)

There wasn’t too many surprises in the male abs/torso list this year, just a bit of discreet shuffling around… like the shuffling around Mingyu seems to be doing with his underwear here. Don’t feel bad for him, he got paid good money to occupy that fabric.

#8 – SAN – ATEEZ

109 points

(2024 position – #7)

Not he hasn’t gotten himself tattooed up in order to outdo Baekho, this is just body painting. If you’re partway through your art degree and questioning your life choices, don’t give up – who knows where your career could take you.

#9 – BANG CHAN – STRAY KIDS

103 points

(2024 position – #9)

Bang Chan maintains his spot from the previous year, and is it just me or has everyone become a little more fanservice friendly lately? Men who were coyly flashing their abs once every six months are now getting them out on a regular basis. It’s an arms race… and a chest and abs race…

#10 – B.M – KARD

93 points

(2024 position – #10)

BM proved that he’s still relevant to Kpopalypse surveydoers, also maintaining his placing from last year.

#11 – SOOBIN – TXT

85 points

(2024 position – did not chart)

Just when things were looking predictable in the male upper body results, we have a newcomer! TXT’s Soobin was nowhere in the results last year, but this time he rocketed into picture status, outperforming his groupmates who were in the polls last year plus a whole lot of old favourites!

#12 – CHANGBIN – STRAY KIDS

83 points

(2024 position – #14)

Seemingly more notorious for not showing his abs, Stray Kids’ Changbin sneaks into picture status this year just off the back of caonima’s imaginations. He probably would have placed even higher if he wasn’t such a massive troll… or then maybe not, perhaps the anticipation is working. I do like his caonima attitude however!

#13 – SEONGHWA – ATEEZ

79 points

(2024 position – did not chart)

Finishing off the upper body results for 2024 is another newcomer, Seonghwa from ATEEZ, harnessing the power of the shirt-lift to make the polls in 2025!
