  • Are we bestowing the title "it girl" to just anyone now? It feels like simply being Japanese was the only requirement here. They even chose someone who is easily the least popular member of her own group.

    I think OP meant from the perspective if you could choose from ONLY idols of Japanese origin, which would be the most popular and beloved (it girl) of each generation.

  • I am going to base mine off the popularity among the Japanese public's rankings via things like Ranker and the most searched idols.


    • 1st Gen: Shoo from S.E.S (the only Japanese female K-Pop idol of gen 1)
    • 2nd Generation: Lee Ahyumi from Sugar (She would go on to have a very successful solo career in Japan as both a singer and actress, after leaving SM Entertainment in 2006).
    • 3rd gen: Sana, she is currently number one amongst all Japanese K-Pop idols regardless of generation according to the Japanese rankings. Momo and Mina follow her in the ranking immediately after her in 2 and 3 respectively.
    • 4th gen: Sakura is currently #4 in rankings of most beloved Japanese K-Pop idols of all time, Giselle just barely made the top 10 of the list. Kazuha is the next highest 4th gen Japanese K-Pop idol after her in the listing. Then it's Rei from IVE. Followed by Tsuki from Billlie.
    • 5th gen: ASA is currently #8 on the list of Japanese K-Pop idols who are most beloved. Moka is all the way down at #13 in the listing. Please do not shoot the messenger Ill-It fans.

    Sugar is considered first generation.
