4th generation's 'handsome-pretty' female idols

AKP STAFF

Female K-Pop idols are pretty and male K-Pop idols are handsome. That's typically how these adjectives work, right?

Nah, that's how it used to be back in the day! More and more K-Pop groups are moving toward androgyny, and these days, it's not uncommon to call a female idol "handsome" or a male idol "beautiful".

In truth, the term "handsome-pretty" was popularized during the 3rd generation, when hotties like TWICE's Jungyeon and MAMAMOO's Moon Byul made fans of all genders swoon with their "handsomeness". 

So which 4th generation female K-Pop idols are garnering attention among netizens as the next "handsome-pretty" heartthrobs?

1. ITZY's Ryujin

2. aespa's Winter

3. IVE's Yujin

4. STAYC's Yoon

5. (G)I-DLE's Minnie

Netizens said, 

"They're so handsome!"
"A lot of them have defined brow-lines and high noses."
"There's a handsome and heart-fluttering quality that just can't be described in words."
"In reality, there's not that much of a difference between handsome and pretty. They are just pleasing to the eyes and make you swoon."
"My type of 'handsome-pretty' is Oh My Girl's Jiho. She has a tiger's gaze."
"Ryujin really has that similar handsome vibe that Jungyeon had."
"How can they be so pretty and so handsome simultaneously kekekekekeke."
"They're all my type TT."
"It's hard to put into words but there are just some female idols whom you want to say 'They're handsome' and some male idols whom you want to say, 'They're pretty'."
"Winter has more of a young boy feel compared to these others kekekekeke."
"Ryujin is also so good at pulling off like cool and powerful concepts."
"My princes~"
"For me, it's Yoon's eyebrows and forehead. They're so defined."
  1. Moon Byul
