It’s time for the third part of the Kpopalypse Objectification Survey results! Let’s take a look at k-pop’s best legs for 2026!

Is it true that k-pop fans really enjoy treating their favourite idols like objects? Of course they do! Just remember fans, that your bias is not an object – they are a person… with great legs! Let’s take a look at the best k-pop legs for this year!

As per last year, 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 – click HERE for the results!

Part 2: FEMALE and MALE ASSES – click HERE for the results!

Part 3: FEMALE and MALE LEGS – this post!

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

Remember folks – that if you object to any of the choices here, 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!

BEST FEMALE LEGS

#1 – KARINA –AESPA

279 points

(2025 position – #5)

Karina knocked it out of the park in 2026, smashing through all contenders in the legs category to secure a #1 victory! Congratulations, Karina!

#2 – TZUYU – TWICE

255 points

(2025 position – #1)

Although enduring Thigh-wanese leg favourite Tzuyu lost the top spot this year, she still held a commanding lead over all other entrants!

#3 – KAZUHA – LE SSERAFIM

175 points

(2025 position – #3)

Le Sserafim’s Kazuha hits the third place for the third year running in the legs category. Clearly someone who never skips leg day, Kpopalypse surveydoers again recognised her incredible flexibility.

#4 – WONYOUNG – IVE

135 points

(2025 position – #2)

One of k-pop’s most instantly recognisable visual performers, IVE’s Wonyoung remained popular in the legs category despite dropping a couple places due to hot competition.

#5 – YUJIN – IVE

125 points

(2025 position – #4)

IVE’s Yujin followed closely behind her groupmate, helping keep her group relevant in the legs category this year.

#6 – YOOHYEON – DREAMCATCHER/UAU

118 points

(2025 position – #6)

Yoohyeon holds onto her placing from last year, despite a fairly unspectacular year for her exposure-wise. Mind you, given the fortunes of her groups she’s probably used to that.

#7 – EUNHA – VIVIZ

109 points

(2025 position – #9)

Eunha’s agency turmoil didn’t translate into a backslide in the polls, as she increased a couple of places this year.

#8 – NAYEON – TWICE

105 points

(2025 position – #11)

Twice was a mixed bag this year with some girls moving up and others losing places, but Nayeon had no issues gaining places this year. I guess Josh isn’t in jail yet and still has Internet access.

#9 – LISA – BLACKPINK

99 points

(2025 position – #29)

Apparently Lisa’s legs are now a meme in China, with people photoshopping them onto the torsos of various other celebrities and popular culture figures. Whether the meme power of Chinese caonimas was what was responsible for her rapid ascent into the top ten this year I don’t know, but she’s definitely arrived in the objectification survey’s area.

#10 – JIHYO – TWICE

98 points

(2025 position – #15)

While Jihyo doesn’t rank #1 in upper-body objectification anymore, she’s been consistently climbing on average over other categories, and has become one of the survey’s most consistent performers!

#11 – HWASA – MAMAMOO

85 points

(2025 position – #8)

Once #1, Hwasa is still around in the legs category and the impact of her legs in the world of the k-pops probably won’t be forgotten anytime soon!

#12 – GAWON – MEOVV

75 points

(2025 position – did not chart)

The objectification survey tends to favour veteran performers, and it’s very rare that someone relatively new charts well enough to enter picture status. The exception in the female legs category this year is Meovv’s Gawon, who rocketed into the charts for the first time!

#13 – MOMO – TWICE

74 points

(2025 position – #10)

Momo hangs onto picture status this year and rounds out our female entrants!

BEST MALE LEGS

#1 – WONHO

245 points

(2025 position – #1)

Wonho’s thick quads come through again, in one of the least surprising results of the polls so far. Congratulations Wonho on yet another win!

#2 – JYP

129 points

(2025 position – #5)

It’s easy to see how JYP catapulted his way into second place this year – he’s one of the only men giving decent leg fanservice! Waterbomb gave JYP ample opportunity to show off his toned physique this year – praise the lord!

#3 – SHINDONG – SUPER JUNIOR

123 points

(2025 position – #2)

The ‘Dong drops a place this year, probably thanks to a general lack of activity. Better start working out, mister! Can you not see the competition?

#4 – SOOBIN – TXT

116 points

(2025 position – #14)

Drawing attention for length rather than muscle definition, Soobin had a growth spurt in the polls, ascending to picture status past many old favourites!

#5 – KAI – EXO

109 points

(2024 position – #4)

The male equivalent of Twice’s Momo in terms of polling performance, you can usually rely on EXO’s Kai to be in the Kpopalypse objectification survey results somewhere.

#6 – MINHO – SHINEE

108 points

(2025 position – #6)

Minho maintains his place from last year, still riding on his renewed Waterbomb-related popularity!

#7 – LEE KNOW – STRAY KIDS

100 points

(2025 position – #9)

One of the least fanservicey male idols in k-pop, Lee Know has to be dragged kicking and screaming to so much as expose a bare ankle. (A sneaky caonima had to go all the way to Bubble to extract the above photo.) Somehow Lee Know managed to get into picture status anyway but he’d better start lifting his game.

#8 – TAEMIN – SHINEE

98 points

(2025 position – #8)

As you can see, Taemin is so fanservice-shy that even when he’s wearing a skirt he still won’t show his legs half the time. You voted for him anyway so here he is, perhaps we need to send him some encouragement.

#9 – BANG CHAN – STRAY KIDS

95 points

(2025 position – #23)

Bang Chan is back in the polls this year, and I don’t know why but I’m going to take a wild guess that his decision to wear shorts in public occasionally may have something to do with it. Good work, Bang Chan!

#10 – MINGI – ATEEZ

80 points

(2025 position – #11)

ATEEZ’ Mingi hits picture status in the legs category for the second year running. Who knows how high this man can go?

#11 – JUNGKOOK – BTS

78 points

(2025 position – #20)

When searching every single other person in this post, I either found shots of their full body with legs exposed, or their full body with legs covered up, and sometimes (very rarely) a lower shot only. With Jungkook, almost all I found were disembodied crops of just his bare legs only and nothing else, it took considerable time to find a photo of the full man! Does this mean BTS ARMY are more objectification-friendly than other fandoms? Who knows, but votes for Jungkook definitely went up this year!

#12 – RUI – XLOV

73 points

(2025 position – did not chart)

If Kai is the male Momo, XLOV’s Rui is the male Kazuha – someone with flexibility that makes you do a double-take and say to yourself “what the fuck did I just see”. Or maybe not the male Kazuha because XLOV’s concept is “genderless” or whatever (Rui collected votes in both the male and female categories) so I guess if there’s a “prefer not to disclose” section, Rui is #1 there. Either way, the skills are undeniable!

#13 – SHOWNU – MONSTA X

68 points

(2025 position – #35)

Shownu finishes off our results in this “leg” of the survey!
