This list is all about the idols and solo artists who bring that soft, charming, lovable energy on top of the talent. Maybe your pick has adorable visuals. Maybe they have a sweet personality. Maybe they can destroy a stage one minute and look like a human plushie the next. K-pop fans know the range.

So, who do you think deserves the top spot? Vote for the K-pop artist you find the cutest and see how your favorite stacks up against the rest of the fandom.

The Top Ten

Kyuhyun (Super Junior)

Although he is an evil maknae, he looks so cute and sometimes completely innocent. He likes bullying his hyungs, but it's the reason why he's very attractive besides his great singing skills.
Love you, Kyuhyun.

Kyu is ADORABLE but HOT at the same time! I just love his pretty face, and no matter what haircut he has, he always rocks it.

Kyuhyun is the most adorable and the cutest maknae I know. His singing skills are great. He likes bullying his hyungs, but he's still a kind man.
I love you, Kyuhyun. Saranghae.
Kang Ji-young (KARA)

Do you even have to ask? When people still hadn't recognized her, I had already fallen hard for her cuteness. People began to realize it when she adopted the sexy concept in STEP, but I think I like her best in her cutesy manner.

I want to vote for Kang Jiyoung. She joined KARA at the age of 15. Even though she had problems with school and her schedule, she always did her best for KARA and gave Kamilias a big smile even when she was tired.
I am proud of Kang Jiyoung.

JiYoung is the cutest girl idol! I like her very much!
She always makes cute faces and acts coquettish! Support her and love her! Fighting, JiYoung! Fighting, KARA!

IU may not be exactly the prettiest, but one cannot deny she looks very sweet, youthful, and cute. I would say that she deserves #1 in the cute category.

IU doesn't need to act cute because she is naturally cute. No wonder she has many fans. The Nation's Little Sister label isn't for nothing.

IU is just naturally adorable. She doesn't have to fake or force cuteness out. She just is. That's why everyone loves her.

Taemin (SHINee)

He really looks amazing and he's handsome! I totally like him very much! He makes me smile when I see him, and he is so attractive!

He is very adorable! His maknae-self is very cute. His looks may seem feminine, but he is very adorable, cute, sweet, and attractive!

Just Taemin's looks do it. He is adorable, he is young, and he knows how to use it. He is a great dancer on top of his cute looks. It can't get better than that.

SUNNY is adorable. Too adorable. Especially when she's making fun of her fellow members or goofing around with them. Her personality and her facial expressions can "awe" anyone who's watching. Her lips are made for pouting and making cute facial expressions.
Ever heard of "Aegyo Queen"? Yup, that's her. In K-pop, I favor only two ladies when it comes to being adorably cute: Sunny of SNSD and SanDara of 2NE1. So, the answer is Sunny.

How can you not agree? Lee Sunkyu is the most adorable idol member! She's cute, hilarious, and can always make me laugh and smile.
Most of the time she's so happy and hilarious. I have a lot of respect for her. Her facial expressions are perfect. Look at her. She's adorable!
Kim Kibum (SHINee)

Hottest guy in the world. Known for the super hotness of the gods. He's the most loving and talented guy in the world that has ever been known. He's so hot that he's perfect to be on the front cover of a male model magazine for the number one hottest guy that has ever lived. Almighty Key rules.

Let's put him at the top to make him number 1. This way, Key will be number one. Come on, fans.

Yoseob (BEAST)

No matter how old he is or what he is doing, he looks adorable. When he's looking sexy, he's still cute. When he looks tired, he still looks cute. When he is the genius of variety shows, he's still cute. When he gets carried away laughing, he's still cute. When he unleashes his powerful singing voice, he still looks cute. When he showcases his many talents, other than his beautiful vocals, he's still adorable. It's impossible not to love Yoseob and the adorably cute things he does.

I think Yoseob's cuteness is a good opportunity for him.
He is nice to his members and also his fans. He does not show his cuteness, but he's cute. He looks like he has a baby face. He loves his singing and dancing. I think he is very pleasant while singing. He is the best idol for me.

Heo Young Saeng oppa is the cutest in his group SS501. That's why Triple S calls him Prince. He has a beautiful voice and looks like a girl whenever he wears girl clothes. He is actually a cute dancer too.
He's cute all the time, whatever he does! Love you, oppa! SS501 Forever as one! Fighting!
