American multinational Johnson & Johnson has picked girl group AOA’s member, Kim Seol-hyun as the face for their contact lens line, “Acuvue Define.”

This is the first time the member of a girl group has been chosen to represent this line as all the past representatives have been top actresses.

A spokesperson for the brand said, “We have chosen Seol-hyun to model for the brand since she wears our lens frequently. Her natural beauty, with well-defined eyes, fit with the brand’s ideals.”

Corporate demand for Kim is expected to continue in 2016, according to commercial forecasts. Her commercial appearances so far include modeling for noteworthy brands across industries such as fashion, food and beverage, cosmetics and e-commerce.

She also recently received the “Model of the Year Award,” at the 2015 TVCF Awards held on Jan.15.
