Idols who doesn't fit the "Korean Beauty Standard" but made it to stardom

Quote from uknowwhat

ITZY

How does Yuna not fit the Korean beauty standard? She's literally considered the visual standard for the Fourth Generation.

Hwasa

Jessi

BigBang?

how does Wendy not fit the beauty standard?

unless you're using beauty standard to mean one specific look, which it never actually is, she's actually pretty well accepted among knetz for her appearance though?

beauty standards follow a general trend but they're never set in stone

Hwasa

Soyeon

Lol what? Wendy? Rv are literally praised for their visuals everywhere.

Answering your question, Mamamoo definitely. They were bashed for their visuals left and right.

Itzy?? Isn't Yuna called 4th gen visual queen in Korea?

Yuna is literally praised for being that visual even when itzy were rookie yeji and Lia were highly praised.

Just because Lisa is Thai doesn’t mean she is breaking any Korean standard she is gorgeous.

You have been a kpop stan for 2 days or what????

Like everyone will mention hwasa and mamamoo

And itzy really? Itzy has one of the best visuals among ggs. Yuna is always praised for her visuals. She is considered to be one of the top visuals of 4th gen. Yeji and ryujin visuals are also loved. Lia too.

Jihyo. It took a long time for her beauty to be recognized.

Dawn

Gdragon

Mino

B.I

2ne1 too

Literally the majority of Korean celebrities?

Yoona, IU, Suzy don’t fit the visual standard either

Quote from SooYoung

but to be honest which among the idol you mention are really popular individually among the GP in korea ?

Lisa ? her solo proved that her popularity came from international fans and not korean

RM & Jhope ? the youngest line members are much bigger than him in korea, and from what i remember their mixtape did well internationnally but didn't do a lot of buzz in korea

Haechan ? love nct but they don't have any solo recognition beside Jaehyun

Itzy ? all the members beside chaeryeong fit the standards of beauty that korean have

Mamamoo ? same only Hwasa doesn't fit them so to include the whole group is weird

Daesung ? but daesung isn't even popular in korea

Wendy ? her solo didn't do very well in the chart in comparison of for example Joy who's know for fitting the beauty standard and had a successfull debut

that's a little weird that you're saying that even if these idols didn't fit the korean standard of beauty they made it to stardom

considering that all the people you mention are people who aren't really succeeding individually in korea and where their success come from their groups

or are only successfull thanks to the international support, which is a bit contradictory considering that the korean standard of beauty only have an impact on korean success because Ifans aren't really influence by this beauty standard
