[Misc] Girl Group Visual Power Rankings V: Fall 2020

Two years after the previous installment, Visual Power Rankings have been revived. Not only that but they will help set the new precedent for future ranking posts. They will all be structured in line with the Bias and Group Power Rankings. As in, there won't be a representative from every group - because it's too much work and I'm far too lazy for that shit nowadays. Which means these lists are more like a current top 10 (without any honorable mentions) than anything else but I'm keeping it under the Power Ranking series regardless. There may be an installment where I simply rank the visual threats overall (not limiting myself to those classified as the group visual) but this will not be that instance. You know the drill. Visual rankings are gonna be more subjective than ever, but these are for fun anyway.
#10. Yuna / #9. Solar / #8. Tzuyu / #7. Junghwa / #6. Sowon
A newcomer starts us off as Itzy's Yuna makes her debut. I'll admit she didn't really grow on me until "Wannabe" but yeah, definitely deserves a place here. After Yuna we have a couple of stalwarts in Tzuyu and Solar. Both have been extremely powerful for their respective groups and will continue to be so. Twice have plenty of lethal weapons so I give Tzuyu more credit since she faces stiffer competition. I wasn't sure if Junghwa was eligible for this edition since EXID have all but dropped off the map in terms of mainstream attention, though ultimately her looks cannot be denied. At the same time if they don't become active domestically there's little reason to keep her around. Sowon barely edges Junghwa out because she might be the most consistent visual on the entire list. I cannot remember any time she got butchered by stylists. That combined with her height are convincing arguments to put her above the current crowd.

#5. Yoona / #4. Jisoo / #3. Irene / #2. Doyeon / #1. Hyejeong
Yoona has been a top visual threat for a long time, so her legacy points place her above GFriend's finest...for now. In the same boat as EXID, Girls' Generation have been extremely quiet on the music front so any position will be held tentatively. Jisoo vs. Irene was the most difficult decision in this Visual Power Ranking. Both have similar strengths (stunning eyes) and weaknesses (short height). Ultimately, Irene's been doing it for a little while longer so longevity wins out in the end. Weki Meki might be underrated but Doyeon has no right to be. She's absolutely gorgeous, and a rare case of a girl group idol having versatility on the cute, pretty, and sexy aspects. Plus she's one of the tallest girls in the industry (even taller than Sowon I think). We aren't keeping track from the omega deluxe installment of Visual Power Rankings, but Hyejeong maintains her position as the #1 threat in the game. At least...for the time being until AOA is officially axed. But yeah she really is one of the most attractive human beings I've ever laid eyes on. Even on her worst days, she's been the best.
