So we all know the recent history of kpop it-girls: Lee Hyori > Yoona/Suzy > Seolhyun > Hani > Hyeri > Hwasa/Jennie
Now there's a new generation of idols who might have a chance to be the next it-girl. I chose the following candidates based on 4 combined categories, 1) stan attractor ability 2) looks 3) how quickly Koreans take interest in them 4) "magnetic" qualities.
Jihan (Weeekly) - she has a bubbly/outgoing personality. i hear she's good at varieties but I never saw her in anything else besides the Weeekly MVs
Miyeon - singer, actress, model, amateur rapper, part-time virtual foxgirl heroine, MC, radio host and all-round 'angelic' person that many people easily like. She is kind of shy, but despite not being as energetic as her co-worker Yuqi, she gets gigs quite easily.
Winter (Aespa) - I chose her over Karina because she seems to have a 'friendlier' public disposition, and in some ways a certain Taeyeonic quality, that can gain a lot of stans depending on how she manages her image to potential fans.
Ryujin (ITZY) - the public has liked her since Mix Nine 4 years ago and they continue to be impressed by her stage presence and confidence. she could be like a mix of Hwasa and Hyuna. she has a strong personality, but isn't off-putting.
Yuna (ITZY) - like Ryujin, she has a strong aura, but her specialty seems to be modeling. even though she's the youngest member in her group she has leadership qualities and go-getter attitude to become more liked by others. she really seems to enjoy the limelight so one of her goals could be to become "the next Suzy".
Yoon (STAYC) - she has talent, luxurious standard visual and a good vibe personality. koreans and westerners take notice of her very quickly due to her looks and aura. we've seen the least from her compared to the other candidates but already there's a lot of potential for her to get bigger.
Wongyoung - she's already decently popular with the korean public. they like her 'baby face' visuals combined with her tall height. although she's not in any group any more, she probably the most anticipated former IZONE member next to Sakura. she could somehow manage to climb up the fame ladder if she follows a similar path to former SNSD Yoona.
Arin (OMG) - she's kind of a wildcard, because her group debut in the 3rd gen but she slowly started getting more popular. it's been about 6 years since her debut. she got a music show MC gig and if there's any potential acting roles she may be able to get popular the same way Suzy did with a "nation's little sister" vibe.
Yena - another wildcard. she isn't that popular overseas but she has a natural knack to entertain and is also outgoing. in a way she's a bit like Hyeri. if she knows how to jump into the right opportunities she might get more popular over time.
