Several K-pop idols have taken the bold step of going shirtless in their music videos, leaving a lasting impression on the audiences. While some may see these shirtless moments as a form of fan service or a marketing tool to boost visibility, for others, it’s a poignant act of defying the industry's restrictive standards and embracing a more liberated, authentic self. 

BIGBANG’s main vocalist Taeyang and renowned soloist Rain have both earned a reputation for being ‘allergic to shirts,’ thanks to their frequent shirtless appearances in their music videos and live performances. Their boldness in shedding their shirts has become a signature part of their image. Taeyang’s music video for his iconic solo hit “Eyes, Nose, Lips” is a prime example, where he appears shirtless throughout the entire video, his toned physique complementing the song’s deeply emotional, vulnerable narrative. Similarly, Rain’s “Love Song” sees the singer performing with infectious energy, dancing shirtless in the MV.
