BLACKPINK’s Jennie to MAMAMOOS’s Hwasa: Female K-Pop idols who set their own beauty standards

While pale porcelain skin is usually the standard in K-pop, TWICE’s Jihyo proves that tanned skin is every bit as gorgeous! She shines onstage with her healthy glow, and she looks absolutely stunning in every single performance.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is breaking the V-line face beauty standard with her round face, chubby cheeks, and short chin, making her look much younger than her biological age. Jennie can be fierce in her music videos but can also be equally adorable with her dumpling cheeks.

The maknae of (G)I-DLE Shuhua is a natural beauty. She’s been known to talk about her dislike of things like makeup and fake nails, and prior to the group’s comeback with “Nxde,” she even refused to dye her hair!

Perhaps the female idol best known for breaking industry standards in the best way possible, Hwasa of MAMAMOO shows that a curvy figure is as glamorous as can be and always commands the stage like a goddess.

The main dancer of Red Velvet, Seulgi is well-known for her stunning, unique features. While double eyelids are usually considered ideal in K-pop, Seulgi’s monolids are just as gorgeous!

ITZY’s Yeji is breaking the ludicrous beauty standard of double eyelids with her sharp monolids and slanted eye tails. Her cat eyes give her a mysterious yet profound vibe.

While slim, V-shaped faces are generally preferred in K-pop, there are several idols who prove that round faces are just as beautiful. IVE’s Rei is the perfect example of this!

Kim Do-Yeon is a member of a South Korean girl group WJMK, short for Wuju Meki, and has starred in many Korean Television shows. Do-Yeon is beating the beauty standard of a high-standard nose bridge with her wide nose bridge and seductive aura.
