Kpop Idols That Don't Look Korean

the list was made ONLY for kpop idols that are korean, because if not they would look foreign because they are foreign, ok please enjoy or don't if you don't want to,and you can always add people to this list as long as they are kpop idols and korean.
The Top Ten
1 Jaejoong - JYJ Kim Jae-joong, also known as Jaejoong is a Korean singer, actor, songwriter, actor, designer and director.

Jaejoong doesn't look Korean. Ok... Let me rephrase it, kim jaejoong doesn't look human at all. I mean which human being have eyes that are both cute and sexy?! His complexion is just so white and smooth, his smirk is charismatic but sometimes goofy, and his actions are super random, weird but cute. He looks like a vampire, no joke. I won't be surprise if he is Haha. I mean, look at his features and stupidly tall height? Totally not Korean at all!

He has a mixed blood look! A look like he was born in a royal family, he definitely a prince charming!

As someone had said above he doesn't look human. He is an angel, god or something!

Jaejoong should stand on first place

2 Ken - VIXX

I'm glad Ken's on here. When I first saw him I literally looked up whether he was half Korean or something of the sort (maybe mixed with Thai or European). If I'm honest I actually can't put my finger on why he looks different but being a part of kpop has lowered my borders between races. While my mind will lock on any Asian I see, If they don't have the stereotypical Asian eyes I don't know why they look so different... But I don't think Ken has a typical Asian face structure and the light hair doesn't help.

Look at his nose and facial features. plus he can't even speak Korean properly (I watched him on VIXX variety and he makes a lot of language mistake)

I think he looks western because he has a giant nose (compared to Korean or other east Asian country people).

He looks like my Dutch ex-boyfriend, but another hair colour ( that's why I can't look at him )

3 Sooyoung - SNSD Choi Soo-young (born February 10, 1990), better known by the mononym Sooyoung, is a South Korean singer and actress. She was a part of the short-lived Korean-Japanese singing duo, Route θ, during 2002 in Japan. After returning to South Korea in 2004, Sooyoung eventually became a member of girl group ...read more.

Yeah. I agree with this. I'm really wondering sometimes if shes a half foreign. She has this pretty twinkling eyes that might not be common on some Korean. Love her so much anyway.

Her eyes are much wider than other members actually. Very pretty eyes. Love it.

She looks japanese and european

So exotic and gorgeous

4 Heechul - Super Junior

Doesn't he look like Japanese a bit... when he keep silent

He looks like a Japanese because of his hairstyle

He looks like cinderella

5 Nana - After School

It's actually hard to believe that she is Korean when she has blond hair, by the way she is so pretty with it. She is made to be blond.

She looks so westernized when she has blonde hair and then she looks Japanese when she has black hair!

She looks so western! I couldn't believe it when I saw her picture :D

She gives me these supermodel vibes...

6 Hyoyeon - SNSD

Hyoyeon with her blonde hair makes her look exotic gorgeous and foreign

She is the moat beautiful blonde grl I have ever seen, evn with black hair, she looks stunning

She looks like a foreigner

7 Kai - Exo

Kai became cuter because of his flatted nose.

He is so hot with blonde hair

I just love him! Cool guy!

He looks a bit Latino

8 Lee Hyori

During black era she looked really white lol

9 Krystal - f(x)

What do you mean Filipino aren't Asians, they're Asian.

Lol Filipinos ARE Asian

I think so, she's like a Japanese or Filipino

I feel sorry for whoever said that "Filipinos are not Asians." Go back to the 3rd grade and re-educate yourself

10 Gyuri - Kara

She has been mistaken for almost everything but black and Asian (besides Japanese)

Gyuri may pass of as a Nepali

Gyuri look like Turkish

She is so pretty

The Contenders
11 Sangmin - Cross Gene

He doesn't. He's so handsome...

Just look at him

12 Bae Suzy

There are lots of people who think suzy has a western blood. She looks like a mixed European and Asian.

She is the most beautiful multitalent idol-actress I've ever seen..

13 Jihyo - TWICE

When you look at her sometimes, she doesn't really look Korean. Take the OOH-AHH teaser photo for example, she doesn't really look too Korean when you consider about it. Some people asked if she had ancestry of other Asian or European ethnic groups, but JYPE confirmed she was full-out Korean.

14 Sorn - CLC
15 Vernon - Seventeen

Maybe it's kind of a cheat since he's half white, but no one can ever tell just how Korean he is at first-- he's often mistakenly called "the American." Culturally, though, he's super Korean.

There is no such thing as having half of a nationality in your genetics...I wish people would get that through their heads for once.

Vernon IS half American and half Korean! (-: He was born in New York but moved to Korea when he was a kid

Well, he is half American so it makes sense.

16 Rap Monster - BTS

Namjoon looks perfectly fine in my opinion he isn't ugly he's handsome and does look a tad mixed with African American.

He looks like he's part Black to be honest

Though he doesn't have a good looking face, but he got an IQ brain.

17 Oh Ha-young - A Pink

She really looks foreign. She is really mistaken for being Arab or something, but actually she has a filipino blood. Her grandmother is half filipina, so she's probably has 1/8 of filipino blood. But she's definitely Korean.

I think her grandma is a filipina...

Oh hayoung I'm proud of you because you are 1/8 filipino

You guys are all wrong her gramma is not filipina and there is thousand of people who just look alike mixed race even 100% korean with no surgeon

18 Dong Woon - Beast

I honestly don't understand how he isn't on top of the list because the first time I laid my eyes on him, I definitely thought he was a foreigner or perhaps a mixed race individual. His facial features are incomparable to the average Korean which renders him to be the cynosure of his group (as I assume) and even though I've searched around everywhere and all I kept discovering is the fact that he is absolutely Korean, I'm still a bit ambivalent because his appearance is exotic and there undoubtedly has to be even just a tinge of European or American blood within him.

19 S. Coups

The features plastered on his countenance are very unique and he really stands out compared to the others.

He's handsome, looks like mixed with Italian. Very unique with big eyes and long eye lashes.

I always thought s.coups is mixed with turkish or something like that

I think its his lips and eyes and just face in general

20 Gummy

Same. I was just searching up "is gummy mixed" and I came here. she looks like she is mixed with white or Mediterranean or even Thailand. she is so pretty and different looking even though she did go under surgery.

I don't know what it is. Gummy just doesn't look full Korean to me. To me she looks Korean-American and I'm not entirely sure why.

I think gummy look like Turkish woman and her voice so different

I also thought gummy is mix, rather than full korean

21 Chanwoo - IKON

Looks fairly Korean but at certain angles he looks like a little Indian boy, especially with his tanned skin and big round eyes.

Yes. I definitely agree that he looks like an Indian.

I also though he was B.I's Indian Friend when I first saw him in a gif.

Yeah he does look indian

22 L - Infinite

He looks to perfect just like taehyung and jaejoong and taeyong and exo Kai those guys look to perfect to be real and extremely handsome plus L so cute with his dope ass smile just makes you want to smile and his facial features are too perfect and his skin looks so smooth he looks a mix of arab or Japanese and he looks a bit Latino 😊 Stilll he's handsome!

L doesn't look very Korean with his eyes. He looks part something else.

I think he kinda look alike with Joseph Gordon-Levitt

23 Kris - EXO Wu Kris Yifan, professionally known as Kris Wu or Kris, is a Chinese actor, singer, and model. He is a former member of South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its subgroup EXO-M under S.M. Entertainment.

I honestly don't know how to describe Kris' look... I mean, I always thought he was distinctly Asian but now reading this, why DOES he look Asian? I feel like it might be his eyes but they're not that small and a lot of Asians still look Asian even with large eyes. But his facial features aren't really Asian either...

Of course he don't look korean because he is not

He got Chinese and Canada blood. exo said he is the most handsome of exo

Kris is very handsome. He is Chinese-canadian

24 Kim Taehyung - V

Taetae looks awesome but his complexion is not as pale as typical Korean and it's not even a problem. He got the most perfect facial features and he looks like an anime character or like a vampire.

25 Lee Jong-hyun - CNBLUE

Ever since he was born, his parent told him that he looked like a Russian baby. and when he 11 years old, his friend told him that he probably mixed. and he run to his father, but his father told him that he is 100% Korean. no wonder, he has paler skin that other Korean man, long eye-lashes, brown eyes and dimples. he looks like Canadian-Japanesse man. I love his talent and his "Burning" stare.

Haha I'm agree with this.. Russian? Canadian? Probably doesn't look like any Korean people! Your skin is too white and your face make me thinks twice.. are you Asian?
