Girls’ Generation’s Jessica and TVXQ’s Yunho have been chosen for the Barbie & Ken Award at the ‘2012 Barbie the Dream Closet’ event.

‘Barbie the Dream Closet’ held its first event on the 18th of October. The campaign is run by Mattel, which have opened shows in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Asia as well. The campaign has been in Korea since 2010, and puts forward Barbie as something “more than a doll” that give dreams to children and acting as a style icon and culture muse to women.

The event awards a pair of celebrities with a “Barbie & Ken Award” where a female and male celebrity are selected, and a Barbie and Ken doll is created to specifically match their outfit on that day. In 2010, Hwang Jung Eum and Kim Bum were chosen for the award, and in 2011, UEE and Song Joong Ki were named Barbie and Ken.

This year, Girls’ Generation‘s Jessica and TVXQ‘s Yunho were given the honor, receiving the dolls that looked just like them.
