It seems the public tends to like celebrities who have two different sides to them. For example, there's the 'bagel-girl' and 'bagel-man' ideal, with the cute face yet sexy body. And now attractive and good looking celebrities with a surprisingly 'bingu' side to them are growing in popularity too!

The Korean slang 'bingu' refers to someone who is goofy, silly and derpy. But to clarify, it seems like people are interested in celebrities who don't seem like they would be 'bingu', who are attractive and cool on stage, but actually have a goofy personality.

The male idol most known as a 'bingu' would be Big Bang's T.O.P. His nickname is 'bingu-T.O.P' after all, and he has been 'bingu' even before the 'bingu' personality got this popular.

That's because T.O.P has a manly, ridiculously good looking face but is known to do funny, goofy dances on his own, even when no one asks him to. The latest appearance of his 'bingu' side on variety would be on Big Bang's appearance on 'Happy Together'.

There's also a new 'bingu' in town, and it's 2PM's Taecyeon! The tall, muscular idol was previously known as the most known beast-dol, but he is now more known as 'Ok-bingu' because of how he acts in the top cable program 'Three Meals A Day'.

There's also actor popular flower-boy actor Kim Soo Hyun, who has been taking on a 'bingu' character in the popular drama 'Producer'. It's a complete change from his chic character in 'You Who Came From the Stars', where he received a ton of love. It seemed like taking on this role would be a risk in his image, but he has been continuing to receive more love from the public than ever before!

A producer from a broadcast station said, "The trend right now is that viewers want to see natural and intimate sides of celebrities. With the 'bingu' character, the public feels like they are closer with the stars. There's an attractive charm in seeing celebrities who have been mysterious and closed to the public show their surprising sides."

The producer added, "When females see a good looking guy with a blind spot, they seem to want to take care of the guy. The 'bingu' character seems to stimulate the motherly affection in female fans."
