5 Male Kpop Looks Worth The Recognition

I take a lot of inspiration from male k-pop groups and idols.
Here are 5 underrated looks from them that were too beautiful to miss.



1. Lee Felix, Elle's "Song Association" Video Series



This was straight disrespectful (so attractive). In the video he had a chill vibe and was content with not being the loud one of his group Stray Kids. He knew he was cool just vibing and sitting there being himself. The red hair and brow dew gave an extra touch to his relaxed demeanor. He also has a habit of raising his eyebrow every time he tries to make a point saying something and it's just something else. He looked like a whole prince in this video and the string choker and baggy long sleeve didn't help me cope with how good he looked.





2. Hongjoong (Be Original Studio Choom Youtube Video)


ATEEZ released their song and music video for "Wonderland" back in October 2019 and it was the first time I saw how attractive Hongjoong was. I didn't think he was extremely attractive before, but I realized that that was because the stylists never revealed his forehead. He always had either a mullet or bangs since the group debuted in October of 2018. His eyebrow look during this comeback also intrigued me. The stylists cut the end of his left brow into a cross shape and put a gem in the middle of the slits which I thought was so unique. I'm not a fan of rat tails, but it didn't matter. The way his silver-frosted hair was slicked-back was such a bonus.




3. Taehyung, BTS's "ON" Music Videos


When BTS came out with "ON" I knew it was over for me. This was the era where Taehyung became by bias wrecker if not my bias. In the official music video for "ON" he starred alongside a female child actor who played as his sister. In the few seconds of their interaction he studied her carefully before taking off her blindfold and it was calming and interesting to watch. In the choreography video for "ON" he wore a chain around his neck with black lettering across his cheek. I don't know, maybe it was the hair that did it for me (it was). The way his long black hair fell over his eyes and flopped anytime he moved was so powerful and added to his already mysterious vibe. The blue contacts were also a bonus.





4. Wonwoo, Seventeen's "FEAR" Music Video


I discovered this video and song back in December 2019 after seeing it in my Youtube recommendations and I was not disappointed. My bias in SEVENTEEN is Vernon and I didn't know how much this music video was going to borderline change that. I was immediately drawn in when this golden-skinned man greeted me with closed eyes like he was in some peaceful slumber. The dew on his skin, his lashes, the way his nose and cheeks were highlighted, the dark eyeshadow that complimented his eye lid shape...I can't. The gold energy emitting off of him was unreal. This whole music video was honestly so beautiful and is in my opinion the most aesthetically pleasing Kpop music video of all time.




5. Yuta, NCT 127's "Kick It" Music Video


Lastly, I settled on Yuta from NCT 127. There's a small part in the "Kick It" Music Video where he has a hat on and sits by the side of a car. It reminds me a lot of when older group member Taeyong also wore a head scarf and sat next to a car in the "Simon Says" Music Video. What stuck out to me was the way Yuta's dewy skin was highlighted and the soft contrast between him and the car. I love how natural he looked as well.
