10 Handsome K-Pop Stars We've Got Our Eyes On
They sing, dance, and perform so well, all while looking like the eye-candy that they are. What's not to love?
I have a confession: Once upon a time, I didn't really understand the appeal of K-pop, especially male idols in particular. They seemed too pretty for my taste, too fashionable, too 'perfect'. Fast forward to 2020, thanks to the resurgence of the Hallyu wave, I find myself fan-girling over BTS and EXO's Chanyeol. The platinum, pink, blue hair, the otherworldly contact lens hues, the dewy skin and eyeshadow—I get it now. And boy am I obsessed!
K-Pop male idol groups in particular, are changing the way we all see masculinity. There isn't just one cookie cutter mold for these superstars to fit into, and the world is sitting up and taking notice. Lip gloss? Sure! Multiple earrings? Why not? Perfect glass skin? Yes please! These K-Pop idols are redefining what it means to look like a handsome man these days, complete with their undeniable talent in singing, dancing, and performing. They truly are the complete package!
Ahead, we round up 10 handsome K-Pop idols we've got our eyes on at the moment, each uniquely good looking, all equally eye candy. You're welcome!
Handsome K-Pop Idols
Handsome K-Pop Idols
Jin (BTS)
Jin, the eldest among the 7 BTS members, is also fondly known as 'Mr. Worldwide Handsome', a nickname given by the fans. We have to agree with this cute label, as Jin is able to look undeniably handsome in whatever hairstyle or hair color he sports. He also does vocals for the group, and acts as the older brother among the boys.

Jung Kook (BTS)
Jeon Jung Kook, or JK, is not called the 'Golden Maknae' of BTS for nothing. The youngest among the 7, Jung Kook constantly proves that he isn't just an amazing singer, dancer, and overall performer; he keeps getting better, and looking better with age. And just like other idols, he loves experimenting with hairstyles and colors, but we've got to say we love the '90s-inspired black 'do he's been sporting lately.

V (BTS)
V, or Kim Taehyung, is one of BTS' lead vocalists and dancers. The anime-looking idol often gets called looking 'unreal'—for his picture-perfect chiseled face and sharp features, complemented perfectly by the playful hair colors and contact lenses he rocks regularly.

Chanyeol (EXO)
Chanyeol, or Park Chan-yeol of EXO and EXO-SC, is a singer, rapper, songwriter, producer, actor, and model. The multi-hyphenate continues to make waves in the scene by constantly reinventing himself, and by looking the charming chameleon that he is. His most recent platinum locks are a sight to behold!

You've probably seen Cha Eun-woo in the k-drama 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty' among others. This insanely handsome face is also a member of the boy group Astro, a 6-piece band with a relatively huge fanbase. Eun-woo has also been chosen as the face of a Pure Vitamin C Skincare ad, with his flawless skin giving us enough reason to believe!
