This series will explore some of the idols who have so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols. EXO’s Kai opened the series for us, followed by SF9’s Yoo TaeYang, CIX’s Bae JinYoung, ASTRO’s Cha EunWoo, Weki Meki’s Kim DoYeon, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, BTS’s V, NCT’s JaeHyun, MONSTA X’s HyungWon, EXO’s SeHun, Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, Red Velvet’s Joy, and SunMi. Readers voted for HyunA in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week. HyunA is one of the most iconic female K-Pop idols and solo artists in the Korean music industry. Every K-Pop fan has at least heard one of her iconic songs. She is known for her free-spiritedness and her musicality and her eye for aesthetics. In fact, she has been featured in our “Girl Crush” series before. Read the full article on why HyunA should be one of your K-Pop girl crushes here. Firstly, HyunA has a stunning face with doe eyes and full lips. She is so pretty that even her passport photo seems like an editorial picture. She can pull off any fashion look, which was proven in her recent photoshoot with Harper’s BAZAAR for the luxury brand LOEWE. HyunA has an artistic knack for posing and will highlight the product she is modeling even if it means contorting into unexpected poses. Not to mention that she is not afraid of bold styling choices, statement makeup and hair looks. She has a quirky sense of style that would be any stylist’s dream to work with. If you knew nothing about K-Pop, HyunA would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree? Are there any idols that you would like to see in this series? If so, leave a comment down below and we will cover them later in the series. Important notice: the vote only decides who will be covered in the next article. Everyone in the poll will be covered in the series eventually. Suggestions will also be gradually added each week. SF9’s ZuHo will be added to the poll in the next round of voting. Two members from the same group cannot be in the vote at the same time.
