Are boy groups getting less handsome?

not really

there were a lot of unattractive male idols in the past as well

that said, the handsome ones imo were much more attractive in the past

mostly cause i prefer less of a soft uwu childish aesthetic

Quote from Zoenoe

Is it just me?

yup

Yeah it's just you

Maybe they are just too young for now. Idols from past generations weren't that handsome when they were just teenagers in rookie years either, imo.

i think they're not bad though

Quote from Zoenoe

Probably

enhypen prettiest boy group out there tho

Subjectivity is the key word here

TXT can't relate.

Compare V when he debuted and him now. he was a child. I can't talk about visuals when idols are children.

Anyway, i definitely don't agree because i find all idols handsome.

I feel like ggs debut already polished and looking good but for boys it takes a while to grow into their features and develop their visuals

It's same with their voices

It's cause they're all so young!!!

Exactly. They will grow up and their facial features will eventually develop better and mature. It's just unfair to compare them with already grown adults.

i blame hybe

there are visuals in 4th gen, juyeon is one of the prettiest men to ever enter the kpop industry for instance. the same can be said for Lucas from nct ( despite the current circumstances).

idk? does it really matter? But I miss the more masculine image/visual of 2nd gen bgs

like 2pm, Infinite, BAP, BigBang etc

I think when you were young, your choices and exposure of male visuals are limited hence why you think 2nd or 3rd gen BGs are more handsome compared to 4th gen (your pool of choices are much larger now).

This is my diagnosis. That will be 50 akorns because you’re new.

txt singlehandedly proving you wrong

Maybe you’re just getting older. I’m very rarely into rookie bg visuals nowdays because almost all of them are too young for me.

Overall, 4th gen have more visual idols than in the past. Enhypen is all visuals imo. In the past, u have visual lines that are incredibly good-looking but now it seems like a requirements and looks are more catering to global standards too.

SM 2nd gen idols were serious eye candies.

4th gen has Asahi though

Seeing a group of pretty women is more common that seeing a group of good looking men. Like u can go outside and will see plenty pretty girls while men look like...yep

Its the same logic here even with stylist and a whole team to fix u up

tbh i agree with this when it comes to TOP visuals, 2nd and 3rd gen TOP male idol visuals are more impressive than the top 4th gen visuals so far imo.

I don’t know but enhypen are serving look and I’m not even stanning them literally beautiful men

Na, there are a lot of pretty dudes

Example:

The males in first gen were hot and cute as hell while looking way more natural though lol Maybe they’re running out of attractive people 🤷‍♀️

Same. I think it's because as a mostly straight woman attraction doesn't play a part in gg visuals for me. I can look at a female idol who's still a teenager and go "wow! she's one of the prettiest people I've ever seen." but for male idols, where attraction plays a part, I'll very rarely care unless they're adults. They'd have to have a very unique or striking face for me to consider a younger male idol a top visual.

2nd gen had many not-good-looking idols tho, much more than now

But I agree the official visuals and visual lines from 2nd/3rd gen are superior

There's no L Myungsoo, Cha Eunwoo, Nichkhun (at his peak), Minho or visual lines like the ones from got7, exo, nct, vixx... Most of recent bgs lack that it visual

Quote from tetetete

maybe because when they debut, they are too young to get ps ?

Idols back then debuted very young too. Taemin, Teen Top members, Ukiss Dongho, nuest, Jungkook, Yugyeom and Bambam, etc

Aren't both their groups considered 3rd gen though?

the boyz and wayv?? no !

I wonder if Kpop labels are finally putting talent over looks. And this applies to GGs as well. I've noticed that no one talks about the visuals of any of the groups that debuted from 2019 onwards, and the ones that do get talked about arent in the same class as Sana, Tzuyu, Mina, Jisoo, Jennie, Irene, Miyeon, Heejin, Wonyoung, Minju, Sakura, Hyewon, Eunbi, Arin, etc. The only exceptions seem to be the some of the girls from Aespa and Yuna from Itzy.

oh duh I was thinking nct for lucas, the boyz debuted in 2017 and I'm pretty sure 4th gen starts in 2018 no?

I think thats only for ggs, for boygroups talent has gone down (except my faves)

Not when TXT, Enhypen, and The Boyz exist. They have some of the best visuals right now

u can check the consensus on this on the thread below

Thread

Sooo are TBZ (The Boyz) a 3rd gen or 4th gen group???

I was in the middle of making a 4th gen thread involving a member of TBZ, when I suddenly stopped to ask myself if they were widely enough considered to even be 4th gen? I know this is probably going to be somewhat debatable but anywayzzzz, what do you consider them? I've seen some people say that TBZ and pretty much any group after them is considered 4th gen, but I've also seen people put TBZ and other groups who debuted around the same time as 3rd gen.

TLDR: I'm confused what category they…
