-Idols-

1. (G)I-DLE Soyeon:

[Shared 'Still Life' on her IG] "🍒" (

11. AB6IX (WANNA ONE f.m.)Daehwi:

[Q.Who do you look up to?] "G-Dragon, Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar." (

27. BLADY (former member) Tina:

31. BLOCK B U-Kwon:

36. BTS Jimin:
"Taeyang sunbaenim is like an idol to me. It wouldn't be exaggeration to say that I came running with the goal of working on music with him someday. I felt and learned a lot while watching sunbaenim's activities since I was young. So when sunbaenim first suggested that we work on a song together, it felt like a lie. I took this opportunity to work with him and realized that he was a better and better person than I thought. I was touched by the delicacy of taking care of each one throughout the process. 'I want to become a singer who sings well and performs well.' That's what I thought again." (
