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, and EXO’s SeHun. Readers voted for Girls’ Generation’s YoonA in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week. YoonA is famous as a member of the legendary K-Pop girl group Girls’ Generation. She is also well-known for her presence as an actress on screen. First, YoonA is the brand ambassador for many brands. She is the face of not only fashion brands but also companies and organizations all over Korea. Take a look at some photos she has taken as the brand ambassador for Miu Miu with W Magazine. She also has the softest features and a bright aura that makes her look like an angel. Her visuals hold an air of sophistication and subtle power. Can you spot YoonA in these photos for Y Magazine? It might be difficult considering her flower-like beauty.
If you knew nothing about K-Pop or Girls’ Generation, YoonA 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.
