EXO
EXO is a South Korean-Chinese boy group based in Seoul. Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011, the group debuted in 2012 with twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively. EXO has since become one of the best-selling K-pop groups,... read more
I became a fan of EXO in June 2016, only because of Luhan (long story). Their physical appearances attracted me at first, but when I watched their music videos, that's when I became a fan. They have an unexplainable aura that drew me in.
I love them as 12 members and will support them always. Not everything we see and hear is true. They have pure brotherly connections and will always be a family.
All the members have many qualities that make them amazing as a whole. They give everything their best shot, working hard even when things aren't going well. Singing, rapping, dancing, and personality - it's all there. They're perfect!

Super Junior
Super Junior is a South Korean boy band. Formed in 2005 by producer Lee Soo-man of S.M. Entertainment, the group comprised a total of thirteen members at its peak. Known for their versatility in music and performance, Super Junior gained international popularity with hits like Sorry, Sorry and have remained... read more
Simply the best of the best.
Super Junior epitomizes everything that makes K-pop so addictive. Great singing? Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and Yesung are some of the best vocalists in K-pop. Dancing machines? Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Shindong are the masters. Variety kings? Suju is simply daebak! Visually, Super Junior has eye candy for every person's style.
There's a reason why Super Junior has been going strong since 2005. They are the kings of K-pop!
They are on the top list. You can see from people who are not too familiar with K-pop that they must have heard the name Super Junior. Their songs and dances are easy to remember, especially for people who don't understand K-pop.

SHINee
Shinee is a South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2008. The group currently consists of four members: Onew, Key, Minho, and Taemin. Originally a five-member group, it became a quartet after vocalist Jonghyun passed away in December 2017.
They are better than Super Junior. Super Junior is known primarily in Asia, with most people recognizing them through songs like Sorry Sorry and Mr. Simple. Meanwhile, SHINee has been making waves globally, even in countries like the USA and those in Europe, which were unfamiliar territory for them at first. Girls everywhere go wild at the sight of them. Even children younger than 12 know their music. Big Bang? Who are they? And Super Junior seems like they're apologizing for no reason, shortening our lives.
SHINee, who started as cute teenagers with pure faces, have grown over the years, gaining experience. Now, they're men who have even captivated a male audience. How amazing is that! So please vote for them. I'm sorry for provoking Big Bang and Super Junior fans, but all of this is true.

Big Bang
Big Bang is a South Korean boy band formed by YG Entertainment. The group debuted on August 19, 2006, and originally included five members: G‑Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri. As of 2025, the active lineup includes G‑Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung. T.O.P departed the group in May 2023, and... read more
The "hot and sexy" appeal doesn't come from a group of boys who rely on plastic surgery, lip sync, and dancing when the primary role of a singer should be to sing. Ultimately, the hottest group to win my heart is Big Bang, not because of their looks, but because of their talent and stage presence.
They came out with their own concept, which is so fresh, human, and real. Some K-pop artists seem fake and unnatural, but Big Bang consistently creates their own unique concepts. I respect their maturity, especially for avoiding clichés. Love you, Big Bang. I am your believer.

SS501
They have been on hiatus for a while, but nobody can compare with Kim Hyun Joong's charm, Young Saeng's cuteness, and Jung Min's sexiness. Hyung Jun and Kyu Jong are super adorable and hot in their own way.
Listen to Love Ya, Love Like This, Green Peas, Until Forever, Crazy for U, or any of their songs. I hope they band together again soon. Fighting! No offense to the other groups - they are all awesome - but I LOVE SS501.
They are charming. Kim Hyun Joong is Prince Charming, Young Saeng is cute, Jung Min is sexy, and Kyu Jong and Hyung Jun are funny and adorable. Besides that, they sing amazingly, and all members are hot.
-
B.A.P
B.A.P has always surprised and amazed me with their comebacks. I am never disappointed! They always strive to make the best music, especially their leader, Yongguk. Their songs have unique blends of genres. B.A.P, your work will never go unnoticed! We love you! Fighting!
B.A.P is a very hardworking group. They love each other and have big hearts. They deserve all the cheers and attention. It's sad that they are often compared to other groups. I know they work hard for their current position, unlike others who are overrated due to their company name. B.A.P, Jjang!

2PM
2PM is a South Korean idol boy group formed by JYP Entertainment. They debuted in 2008 and gained popularity for their energetic choreography and catchy songs, including hits like Again & Again and Heartbeat. As of 2025, the group remains active and is recognized as one of the key acts in the second... read more
They will forever be my favorite group. I wish they were more appreciated for how hard they work and how talented they are. Each member has so much potential, with their own charm and color. They're super funny and can always make me laugh, being one of the best groups in variety. They're also all good-looking and have great bodies, and those are just bonuses.
Honestly, they are great idols who are underrated. Fighting 2PM!
They are my favorite K-pop group and probably the sexiest. I wish they had more popularity. They deserve it so much. Each member is unique and has so much to offer. Their friendship is genuine, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I love 2PM. They hold a special place in my heart.

BTS
BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. The group includes leader RM and members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. They have gained international fame for their music, performances, and social impact.
They are the coolest group ever! I also like other groups, but when I first saw BTS, I felt an attachment and fell hard for them. My friends say I'm obsessed, even though I don't talk about them as much as they talk about One Direction or 5 Seconds of Summer. However, I am a true die-hard fan, and I basically know everything about them!
It was really hard to choose my bias, and it took a long time, but I only like him about 2% more than the rest. Everyone is so charming and beautiful! They each have unique personalities, and all of them are strong. I love their bond the most. It feels like they've known each other forever. Their songs draw from real-life experiences and are incredibly meaningful. You can't help but fall for them!
I hope they never change. After I Need U, their popularity grew significantly. Before, no one really knew them, but now everyone does, which is great! I hope they continue their profession, stay together forever, and become even more famous so I can brag about them more. Haters will hate, but I hope it never discourages them because if they look back, we ARMYs are always rooting for them and cheering them on!

TVXQ
TVXQ, also known as Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK), is a South Korean pop duo that originally debuted as a five-member group in 2003. They played a major role in the rise of the Korean Wave and became extremely popular in both domestic and international markets. After three members left in 2010, TVXQ continued... read more
Their group was the hottest! They were in the Guinness World Records for being the group with the most images. That proves they are really hot because fans continuously took many photos of them as proof of their extreme attractiveness.
In fact, they are all tall, masculine, and handsome. They are also the K-pop boy group where every member is hot and good-looking, not like other bands where only the visual is considered handsome. TVXQ/DBSK is different because all the members were hot!
Yep. Guinness. True love.
TVXQ are the kings of K-pop. Some might even call them gods of K-pop. They definitely paved the way for B2ST, SHINee, 2PM, EXO, and SuJu. Big Bang completely respects them (Seungri is a Junsu fanboy).
TVXQ have been through it all. They deserve to be on top of this list because they are the best.
-
Infinite
All of the members have so many different charms. Sunggyu is very charismatic. Dongwoo is always happy and bright. Woohyun has great vocals and possesses cute aegyo. Sungyeol is funny and looks like a little kid (choding). Hoya is a complete dance machine and has some of the best moves in the group. L/Myungsoo is cute, charismatic, cool, and handsome, and he has great acting skills. Finally, Sungjong is very cute and pretty, and he does great girl-group dances.
All of the members have excellent teamwork, allowing them to perform the best synchronized dances.
When you hear the word Infinite in the K-pop world, they are one of the best synchronized dancers out there. They have unique dance steps, just like the scorpion dance.
They are like a family. You will completely fall in love with this group if you watch their variety shows.

Tomorrow X Together
They're all visuals! For me, Huening Kai is the cutest guy I've ever seen. Then, we have the other four members who are both hot and cute!

B2ST
Almost every song in male K-Pop groups has words that are repeated frequently, often in English. As a modern, not-so-girly girl, it's annoying when a song lacks meaning. B2ST, for me, relies on the passion and meaning of their songs to captivate listeners. They are unique because they don't just rely on catchy words and synchronized dances.
B2ST is one of the idol groups that works the hardest. When they started, all the members had prior experience in the industry, so critics in Korea called them a recycle group. They wanted to be the best and worked as hard as possible. They love their fans for supporting them from the beginning, never leaving them, and believing in them to be the best.
There is only one way to describe Beast: Beast is the B2ST.

Teen Top
Teen Top is a South Korean boy band formed by TOP Media in 2010. They debuted on July 9 with the single Come into the World. Originally a six-member group, Teen Top now consists of four active members: Chunji, Niel, Ricky, and Changjo.... read more
They have the best songs! Their voices are fantastic, and their songs are catchy and sometimes full of emotion. This is the first group whose songs with music videos I enjoy entirely. Not to mention, they're all good-looking.
Teen Top, I love you! They deserve to be in first place, so please vote! Niel has sexy lips and is a great singer. Changjo has a beautiful and cute smile that brightens my day. He is muscular, has incredible dancing skills, and is nice and quiet. L. Joe and Cap are awesome at rapping. Ricky is so cute.
-
NU'EST
NU'EST is a South Korean boy group formed by Pledis Entertainment consisting of JR, Aron, Baekho, Ren, and Minhyun. The group debuted in 2012 with the single Face. NU'EST officially disbanded in March 2022 after ten years together.
NU'EST are the best. They have a different style, and their music is so good, with each song having a special meaning. Love you, REN. NU'EST FIGHTING!

Block B
Freaking B-Bomb gets my heart going whenever I see his face. That boy needs to drink some water to cool down all that hotness. And Zico, damn. He's so hot when he's rapping. P.O. too.
Kyung looks like a white boy in Jackpot, and I'm not even complaining. Jaehyo is gorgeous, and he knows it. U-Kwon is like a sultry cat. And Taeil. My goodness, Taeil is so cute with his big old glasses. They're all just precious.
Block B needs to be higher on this list because they have one of the best, if not the best, rappers in the K-pop world. They are also very hardworking, with three extremely talented rappers, two amazing singers, and two very good dancers. Instead of focusing on looks, Block B highlights the actual sound of the song over members' attractiveness.
There wasn't much plastic surgery in Block B, which shows that they are comfortable with their appearance - a good thing.

U-Kiss
I started to love K-pop only because of U-Kiss. I love this group. The angelic voice of Kevin, the rocking rap of Eli and Dongho, the uplifting vocals of Soohyun and Hoon, the talented rapper AJ, and the dance machine Kiseop all make my heart blush with joy. I really want to see them as the "Number 1 Group."
I wish them the best of luck with all my heart. Saranghaeyo U-Kiss. Fighting, and love you, Kevin.
From,
Kiss me Moon
They are seriously underrated! They deserve way more credit for being an amazing group. Definitely one of my top 10s.
-
MBLAQ
MBLAQ is definitely one of the best-looking groups. Seriously, compare them to the others. They are very attractive, though not necessarily as popular. They are down-to-earth and act like themselves on many variety shows. Their music is great and is accompanied by amazing dancing.
There is something about them that differs from the other boy bands. If you have never seen them, Smoky Girl is their new single. Watch that video.
For me, MBLAQ is the best! They have a strong yet funny leader, a humorous and silly maknae, a visual with honey abs, another visual who's extremely cute, and an angelic-voiced main vocal. I'll love MBLAQ until the end of time!
-
FTISLAND
Choi Jong Hun alone is enough to draw you into the band's dramatic and feel-good music (yes, they play instruments). Lee Hongki's powerful voice makes the band great, and he is eye candy. The others are also good-looking, making this group the hottest among their contemporaries.
Hongki's voice should be enough to get fans (sorry, he's obviously my bias), but all five members being good-looking in different ways helps too.
They really look hot while performing. Choi Jonghoon has the best body among them, very toned. And Choi Minhwan is the cutest. But all of them are really eye candy. A flower boy band.
-
VIXX
They're all super funny and natural and have amazing personalities.
They're all super handsome and have great personalities.
Why are these guys not higher up? They're all gorgeous. Has no one seen Ken or N?
-
CNBLUE
All members of this group are handsome. They must be the handsomest group in K-pop, with all of them tall and very good-looking. Who can compete with them, for real?
CNBLUE members are all handsome. They look very cute in every song.
Jonghyun is very cute. I really love him.
-
B1A4
B1A4 is the best K-pop boy band I have ever seen! They might not be as famous as EXO, SHINee, or Super Junior because they are from a small company that only has one group, which is B1A4. However, they are still well-known in the K-pop world.
I used to like SHINee because I thought that since they were famous, I should like them. But I was wrong (I'm not saying that they are not good, just that... well, their songs are nice). When I listened to B1A4's OK, I felt so happy and good all of a sudden.
Jinyoung, the leader, looks so handsome, and his voice is very unique.
CNU may look quiet, but he is actually very friendly and kind.
Sandeul - I really like his laugh-out-loud style. It just makes me feel happy, and he has a very beautiful voice. His high notes are very strong.
Baro also looks so cute, and his rapping skills are so good.
Gongchan, the maknae, is cute but mature. I really like the way he smiles - so cute!

JYJ
Bravest group of idols who fight like heroes. True artists that show that true talent is NEVER enslaved.

BtoB
BtoB, short for Born to Beat, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2012 by Cube Entertainment. The group originally included Seo Eun-kwang, Lee Min-hyuk, Lee Chang-sub, Im Hyun-sik, Peniel, and Jung Il-hoon. As of 2025, the group continues to perform and produce music independently after leaving Cube... read more
Everyone is so talented that they can all sing and rap perfectly. They sound the best together. FYI: I have an obsession with 7-member K-pop groups. BTOB is my second favorite, though. Infinite is my first, but they're equally my bias.
BTOB is so talented, and they're all very good-looking! Their live performances are heartfelt, and you can tell they put a lot of passion into what they do. They love what they do! BTOB Fighting!

Boyfriend
Boyfriend are so cute and have catchy songs! Love you, Youngmin!

GOT7
Got7 is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of seven members: JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom. They debuted in 2014 with the EP Got It? and have released multiple albums and toured internationally.
Best group ever! They are so full of charisma and talent, with great voices, songs, and personalities. I love their leader and the different nationalities within the group. They are close friends and clearly love what they do. They are hardworking with great choreography. Leader JB is the best, and no one can beat Jackson's charisma. Go, GOT7!
They are good-looking, smart, respectful, hot and cute at the same time, manly, cool, sporty, bright, and overall an amazing group that everyone should love and support more.
-
Seventeen
Seventeen, stylized as SEVENTEEN or SVT, is a South Korean boy band formed by Pledis Entertainment in 2015. The group consists of thirteen members. They are divided into three specialized sub-units known as the Hip-Hop Unit, Vocal Unit, and Performance Unit.
Say the name SEVENTEEN! They are very talented and handsome boys. At their young age, they can write, choreograph, and produce their own songs! All of them are so cute and handsome. Go SVT!
13 boys, 3 sub-units, 1 team = no life for me! Yay!
Seventeen needs to be higher on this list. It is literally known in the Carat fandom to have more than one bias and to literally struggle to be "loyal". Every single member in Seventeen is so attractive and talented. They all work so hard. There are many groups in the K-pop scene, and a lot of them don't choreograph their own dances or write their own songs, but Seventeen does both. They have even filmed some of their own music videos. Check out "Snapshoot", completely filmed, directed, produced, edited, styled, like everything by Mingyu. It's amazing.
Woozi and several more of the members contribute to every single song on all their albums, mini albums, and EPs. All of them. Even if you don't stan Seventeen, you know "Don't Wanna Cry" and "Clap" and "BoomBoom" and "Home Run". Even their own raps.
THEY ARE SO RESPECTFUL TOO. Like Wonwoo, one of the members in the hip-hop unit, literally checks with female staff to make sure his raps or lyrics aren't offensive in any way.
ALSO, have you seen any of their dances? They ALL are so cool and captivating to watch. They make those dances themselves. Like, Hoshi is one of the main choreographers for so many of their dances and other members contribute too, like Minghao (The8). They make their dances, and they teach each other, and they practice so much. You can just tell. THEY are so in sync. Seventeen has been known for their synchronization. Even when they mess up and even when they're doing regular things.
They are so popular and they are popular all over the world. That isn't talked about enough. They are known in many places but don't get as much attention because there are bigger groups than them, like BTS. Seventeen is a group YOU WILL NEVER REGRET stanning. In fact, it is one of my biggest regrets that I got into Seventeen as late as I did. I mean yes, better late than never, but I'm so like mad about it. They are such an amazing group and they always make me smile, and they have a pretty unproblematic... read more
