As idols gain more popularity, you tend to see their faces on more billboards and in more magazines.

Most of the time, our favorite idols get pictorials featured in magazines, but more of them are being chosen to be on the cover. These are just a few of the magazine covers from 2012 that feature an idol. But they are some of the best.

Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga In was featured on the September issue of Woman Chosun magazine. I though this cover was one of the best because it shows of her glamorous and sexy side in a fairly subtle way. The issue also featured a pictorial of Ga In that showed off her amazing figure. If you haven’t seen it already, you can find the pictorial here and a BTS video here.

2PM’s Taecyeon was lucky enough to get three covers for Men’s Health March issue. And we all know why… those muscles. Isn’t that enough of a reason for his cover to be on the list? I would have added the rest of 2PM and 2AM that covered Men’s Health, but then you would never see the rest of the list.

After School’s Uee covered one of the July issues of Ceci magazine and she looks amazing. This cover is one of the best because she perfectly embodied that Summer vibe with her bright, floral dress and natural makeup.

Kara’s Goo Hara was lucky enough to be the first idol featured on the cover of ELLE Girl magazine. Her agency, DSP Media, announced the news in September and revealed that she would also have a pictorial in the issue. In the pictorial she is showing off a cute, lively look in preppy clothes, which are the trend of this fall. She’s also showing off her nice body, achieving a distinctive, stylish look.

Dazed & Confused Korea released to covers for their March issue and Se7en was on one of them. This cover is one of the best because he perfectly portrays the overall theme of the magazine - tough, yet seductive - and shows a different side of himself. This issue, like most, included a pictorial that featured the artist.

It was recently announced that 2NE1 will be gracing the back cover of Fault Magazine’s 12th issue featuring a reversible cover. A preview of their cover was released early and the girls are continuing their outrageously amazing style. This October issue was released on the 15th and also features the girls in a 12 page pictorial.

What other magazine covers should be on the list? And, who do you think deserves to be on the cover of a magazine?
