How much do you value looks in kpop?

hard to put a number on it but i aint gonna stan any uggos

I value charisma over looks. There are many pretty idols with zero stage presence. Not interested in them. I prefer an idol who can catch my attention even if they're 60% on kbs.

Necessary condition, but not sufficient.

Beauty/Looks alone won't cut it.

5%

Depends on what you mean, visuals over all is a big part of kpop, but that includes nice looking MVs and not only how good the artists themself look, even if they are an important par the overall visuals. But they music is always the most important and visuals are always nr 2.

Not high

I mean I stan PLAVE and I have no clue how the fk they look like irl

I value looks 100%.

Now you don't know if I'm messing with you or not.

Couldn't care less. I'm not lying myself. My faves have been called visual holes anyway, if o cared about looks I'd move on to someone else. I don't listen to my faves for their looks but for their music.

I'm primarily just listening to the music. There are some groups that I listen to regularly, where I'm only vaguely aware of how they look. Of course if I'm watching an MV or performance or whatnot, I'd much prefer to look at people who are good looking of course. That being said, at a baseline, I'd consider essentially every idol good looking. Sure some might be more attractive than others, but as it is, I've never been the kind of person who is particularly positively (or negatively, for that matter) blown away by someone's looks on a profound level.

probably 99%

50% maybe???

but visuals are subjective

Would you stan PLAVE if the characters looked like BSH and Shindong?

BSH is an oily mess that the US want to invade don't compare that blob to anything else

i stan some groups/members just for their visuals, simply because i like pretty people. if i were to list examples, i would never stop talking.

there are groups where i do not know a single song from but i still like a/the member's visuals.

i placed my vote as 50% because apart from visuals, the music also needs to be good if they are going to be truly incredible in my eyes.

100%

What it means 60% on kbs?

The groups I stan is 100% based on music and the songs I listen too like why would I listen a song just bc someone is beautiful? If they aren't talented, charming and have a nice song based on my taste than their beauty won't save their music.

Example: I love Cha Eunwoo visual, but I don't listen to Astro bc they aren't my cup of tea, but I like the members, they seem super nice, the same can be said about sf9 where I really like Rowoon to the point of keeping up with his dramas, but I never listened sf9 that much.

While idc about BB visuals that much and I love their songs.

And visuals also won't interfere my joy in watching performances, etc.
