Top 10 Most Handsome Male Korean Idols

Who springs to mind when you think of heartthrob K-pop idols? Is it a member of a powerhouse group like BTS or EXO? A charismatic soloist? Or maybe someone from a group that helped pave the way, like Super Junior or SS501?

K-pop is full of stunningly handsome stars, each with their own unique appeal. Their visuals blow us away in music videos, on stage, and in magazine photoshoots. But the question remains: who's the most captivating of them all?

Think of those idols whose looks make you swoon, the ones who leave a lasting impression with their style and charisma.

The Top Ten

Yesung (Super Junior)

Kim Jong-hoon, better known by his stage name Yesung, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Super Junior and its subgroups Super Junior-K.R.Y., Super Junior-H, and S.M. The Ballad. Yesung has also released solo albums and performed in musicals and television... read more

He has it all - an interesting persona. He's very caring, has a beautiful voice, he's humorous and mischievous, and has a very versatile look - he can be both handsome and pretty, and also cute and sexy. Great charisma on stage, goofy and friendly off stage, very down to earth.

He's always been my favorite in Super Junior, which is my favorite band in the whole world! He might be really handsome and cute, but he has a really adorable personality that makes you love him more and more. Just like I do!

Yesung is... perfect. Well, maybe not perfect, because that's impossible, but God! He's awesome. I'm speechless every time I have to give a description of him.
He's talented, sympathetic, cute, charismatic, and please! We're not even talking about how handsome he is. I met him a few days ago... Wow! That's all I can say.
He looks like a pretty porcelain doll, and his skin is enviable. The words cute and handsome are impossible to use to describe him.
Kim Hyun-joong (SS501)

Kim Hyun-Joong (Korean: 김현중, Hanja: 金賢重, born June 6, 1986) is a South Korean entertainer, actor, singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is the leader and main rapper of the boy band SS501.
He has also played roles in the Korean dramas Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss, which gained him international... read more

This is Kim Hyun Joong, the 4D leader who always thinks of his fans. He has not just a handsome face and a beautiful smile. His big heart, caring for everyone around him, is what makes him the most beautiful of all.
Kim Hyun Joong, SS501 leader, is always playful, yet he is dedicated, hardworking - somewhat of a workaholic. He will only give the best to his fans.
If there's a meter of 100% for me to grade how amazing this man is, he would get 200% from me. But hey, I am biased.

Kim Hyun Joong has a soft personality that is always displayed whether he is with his fans, band members, or within the community. One can feel his sincere concerns for others and his appreciation for the many contributions his supporters give to him. KHJ has a smooth, velvet voice that distinguishes him from other singers.
When you follow KHJ's career path, you will find what a dedicated individual he is. His passion for perfection drives him to deliver the best performances that only KHJ can do. This will leave you crying with joy after watching him perform, because you can't help but appreciate the art of perfection in his delivery.
Jaejoong (TVXQ)

Kim Jae-joong (Hangul: 김재중. Born January 26, 1986), known mononymously as Jaejoong, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, actor, and director. He debuted in 2003 as the lead vocalist of the boy band TVXQ and later co-founded the group JYJ. In 2024, he formed the duo JX and became Chief Strategy Officer... read more

Jaejoong is a man who is not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. While he is known for his looks, he is also a very talented young man, excelling in acting, singing, and composing, among other things. He possesses a voice that is versatile and soothing.
On the outside, one can see that his looks are quite refined. Because he is a bit androgynous, he can pull off a variety of different looks and styles. What makes him so appealing to many is that behind his looks is a humble, clumsy, sweet, and hardworking young man who simply wants to be and do the best he can as a singer, entertainer, and musician.
As a fan since 2006, I can honestly say he is still one of the most beautiful people I have seen to this day. He always remains true to himself and loves all his fans equally.
Donghae (Super Junior)

Lee Dong-hae, known professionally as Donghae, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, composer, and actor. He became a trainee at SM Entertainment after winning a prize at SM's Youth Best Contest in 2001. After four years of training, Donghae debuted as a member of the boy group Super Junior in November... read more

He can be cute one minute and fierce the next. He can be so sexy you cannot resist him. He can be a 5-year-old boy and likes to play pranks on other members.
He's cute without even trying to be so, sometimes unintentionally cute. He's so charming. He has composed many great songs for SJ and for D&E. His sense of music is good, which explains why he's a great composer. He's a great dancer. He has the most adorable smile and laugh in the world. He also has a very nice personality, is well-mannered and polite, and often cannot stand it if members are fighting. He is also one of SJ's crybabies, which adds to his cuteness. When he smiles, you'll find yourself wanting to smile too. Maybe that's why his name means "Sun" (Haenim = sun) because he shines brightly when he smiles. He's very affectionate, according to Eunhyuk, and Eunhyuk is his very best friend, and best friends tend to know who you are better than yourself.
He has beautiful eyes that are very expressive. You can tell how he feels just by looking. He's handsome without even trying to be so, naturally handsome.
T.O.P (BIGBANG)

Choi Seung-hyun, better known by his stage name T.O.P, is a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and actor. He is a member of the boy band Big Bang under YG Entertainment. T.O.P has also appeared in several films and television dramas.

The fact that he doesn't know how beautiful he is, is enough for me to choose him as the most beautiful man in K-pop. He has his own charm, and his eyes are really piercing. Not only because I am a VIP, but because T.O.P. is really beautiful in his own ways. This proves that you don't have to take your clothes off to show how sexy and attractive you can be. Go, T.O.P.!

I prefer T.O.P. being number one. He's just always handsome and attractive in my eyes. We have different tastes, so respect mine.
Here in the Philippines, billions of women are in love with him. We have billions of reasons why we want T.O.P. to be number one. He's handsome, attractive, cute, gwapo, and an endangered species because he's a rare one.
His voice is unique. His smile makes our every tomorrow complete. I don't care if everyone makes bad comments about this one.
Yonghwa (CNBLUE)

Yonghwa is beautiful, no doubt. But the thing is, usually that's all there is for visuals in K-Pop: a pretty face but mediocre talent or even worse. Yonghwa, on the other hand, is one of the most talented people you'll find in the K-Pop scene.
His voice is to die for, his singing is amazing (he's considered one of the best K-Pop singers), he has tremendous stage presence, and he's an actual musician. Guitar is surely his best instrument, and he almost never performs without one. Not only does he actually make music, which is very hard to find in K-Pop, he's considered a songwriting genius by some. His self-composed songs have topped the charts.
If you're looking for personality, he's got that too. He has a sense of humor that will entertain you, but he's also a very kind and understanding person and leader to his band members, for which all the members have expressed gratitude. Yonghwa's hard work and perseverance are endless, which is what has gotten him to where he is now and will hopefully only lead him to greater achievements.
Siwon (Super Junior)

Choi Si-won is a South Korean singer, songwriter, model, and actor. He is a member of the K-pop group Super Junior, which debuted in 2005. In addition to his music career, Choi has acted in several Korean dramas and is known for his philanthropy and diplomatic roles.

This man deserves the number-one spot! I mean, he has the visuals that make every girl look again, not just a second time but a third and so on. He has the attitude that can make every girl's heart flutter and fall. He even caught the attention of Miss Universe!
He is a total package. He has the looks, brains, and attitude. His family background is really good too! He is very talented, and I'm sure you remember his role as Kim Shin Hyuk in the Korean drama She Was Pretty, which caused the spread of second lead syndrome among us. I'm one of them!

He is the most handsome man among K-idols. A true gentleman in all senses. His beautiful and perfect smile makes everything shine and warms people's hearts. He is just perfection.
Honestly, he is the only one who looks better in person than in pictures. I have met him once and I just couldn't stop admiring him. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He is like a real prince. For me, he is definitely number one. I have also met most other K-pop idols, but seriously, Siwon is on top of all of them. There's no doubt about it.
Minho (SHINee)

Minho has literally everything. He has the looks, the height, the talent, and he has abs (heh). His deep voice is so rich and soothing.
His athleticism gives him the perfect V-line. Those huge, round eyes and that disarming smile… Heck, I bet if he wore a trash bag, he'd still look good. That nose is straighter than my index finger.
My conclusion: Choi Minho, you've got me utterly and completely hooked.

Those huge adorable eyes, that unbelievably straight nose, that irresistible smile... the murderous glint he gets in his eyes when playing soccer (with 7-year-olds, mind you). He is stunning.
His passion makes him stand out the most on stage. He's usually very conservative, unlike some other idols (*cough* 2PM Taecyeon *cough*), which makes those rip-off-my-shirt moments even more exhilarating. Choi Minho, hwaiting!
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 the South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its subgroup EXO-M under S.M. Entertainment. After leaving the group in 2014, he pursued a solo career in music and film.

He's the most handsome team leader in EXO. He receives a lot of respect for his seriousness about the group. Anywhere he goes and anything he wears, he appears to be on a runway for how versatile and handsome his look is. He's not Prince Charming handsome, but Kris-handsome, in his own distinct way.

You will totally fall for him if you've ever seen him playing basketball. On stage, he's a cool rapper and mature leader. But in reality, he's actually very silly.

He is one of the few Korean idols that I immediately thought, "WHAT IS THIS?" He has this boyish-arrogant-manly-cute-handsome face. Celebrities in China say he looks much better in person. I can't even imagine...
Even though people say he seemed to be arrogant or fake when he was with EXO, people who followed EXO with an open heart can tell he has a nice heart. The EXO members respected and loved him.
Kyuhyun (Super Junior)

Cho Kyu-hyun (born February 3, 1988) is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the boy band Super Junior and its sub-groups Super Junior-M and Super Junior-K.R.Y. He was also a member of the ballad group S.M. The Ballad.... read more

He's my bias no matter what. He's my number one.
Kyuhyun may be the youngest in SJ, but I can say that he's already achieved a lot and that he has a lot of charm and many qualities anyone can admire. He's such a sweety. Whenever I see him, I always feel okay. He's just one of a kind.

Ok, here is the thing. In my eyes, this guy is so handsome and perfect, just like an angel with his voice and all.
But then you watch him in action and it's just not that. Still, he's the most handsome guy I've seen in my life.

He looks like a baby. He's so cute. He's sexy when he's dancing, and his voice is so lovely. I love his stare, his smile, and his awkwardness.

The Newcomers

?
J-Hope (BTS)

He is the most handsome Korean idol! He should be in the top 10!
He is the best rapper, dancer, singer, and sunshine of the BTS group! I really like his smile. Fighting!

He doesn't get enough credit. He is funny, smart, and super talented. I could watch him dance all day.

I love the joy that radiates from him. Just seeing him smile makes my heart feel warm.
?
RM (BTS)

My "Dimple King"! He is truly underappreciated as a performer. His smile and style are things the world can learn from.

I love his rapping, and I love how he manages to break things. I also adore his dimples when he smiles.

I don't know why people hate him, but he is the best. I, Kajol, love him. Love from me and my family!

The Contenders

Luhan (EXO)

Lu Han is a Chinese singer and actor. He was known as Luhan during his time as a member of the South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO and its sub-group EXO-M, before leaving the group in October 2014. After departing EXO, he launched a successful solo career in China.

To be honest, Luhan is my favorite member besides Baekhyun. It's a shame Luhan left because he was amazing. He is extremely talented and has a beautiful face.
He is also very hardworking.

I'm amazed that Luhan is all the way down here. For goodness' sake, he's 23 but he's got the face of a youthful angel! He's even one of the most popular EXO members.

Luhan is the prettiest boy I've ever seen. I think his beauty rivals Yoona's! He's talented and pretty.
What more could you ask for?
Jungkook (BTS)

Jeon Jungkook was born on September 1, 1997, in Busan, South Korea. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, composer, and producer, and is best known as the youngest member of BTS, a global K-pop sensation.
Jungkook's favorite number is 1, and his favorite colors include red, black, and white. He... read more

Kookie Dongsaeng, Noona to the rescue here. You shouldn't be at the 142nd position when talking about beauty.
This boy is beautiful. He is actually delicate, but he has to be strong because he is the main vocalist, sub-rapper, and lead dancer, so he works really hard and always takes the lead to practice. He also looks extremely handsome on stage. So, beauty inside out.

God broke the mold with this young man. His talents alone would have been sufficient, but when you add in his humble and caring attitude, it makes one wish the whole world were copies of Jungkook!
Park Jung-min (SS501)

Park Jung-min is a South Korean singer, entertainer, and actor. He is best known as a member of the K-pop boy band SS501, which debuted in 2005. In addition to group activities, he has released solo music, appeared in musical theater, and participated in various television and film projects.

The nickname he gave himself doesn't justify his looks. Very, very sexy charisma indeed, and with the talent and personality to match. Glad Mr. Park Gorgeous/Park Atmosphere/Park Charisma made it to the top 15.

He is very handsome, and I love him. His dancing is very wonderful, and it makes my heart beat. He is also very friendly. He's just wonderful and good-looking!

Never a dull moment with Minnie. He brings joy to the group SS501. Great, beautiful, amazing voice. Fabulous, lovely person, beautiful inside and out.
Jonghyun (SHINee)

Kim Jong-hyun (April 8, 1990 - December 18, 2017), known mononymously as Jonghyun, was a South Korean singer-songwriter, record producer, radio host, and author. He was the lead vocalist of the boy band Shinee and also participated in SM Entertainment's project group S.M. The Ballad.... read more

He's really talented and adorable. He's a really good singer, and he's very considerate towards others.
I really think that he should be in the most talented and most wanted men to be friends with or to date. So, guys, please vote for him.

I just feel he put so much of himself into everything he did. I don't understand how people didn't hear and see the signs that this beautiful soul was crying for help.
Love him, dear sweet Jonghyun, gone way too soon.

He's a good Korean idol singer, a good dancer, lyricist, promotional model, and radio host.
SHINee is the best Korean band EVER in history.
V (BTS)

His ethereal beauty is no joke. I am sure that God wasn't playing while creating this handsome man. Just look at him. That breathtaking visual will definitely make anyone fall in love with him. In my opinion, he is more than handsome. He's cute, sexy, manly, adorable, and freakishly handsome all at the same time.

He is surely handsome and should be on top. He has the magic sent by the angels and will never give up on anything. Give him love and stop hating because of his appearance. Love his talents and personality. He's like an angel from heaven. Don't play it funny, because it's beautiful.
Lee Min-ho

Lee Min-ho is a South Korean actor and singer. He first gained widespread fame in South Korea and throughout Asia with his role as Gu Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers in 2009. This performance earned him the Best New Actor award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards and propelled him into international stardom... read more

Why in the world is Lee Min-ho here!?
He should be in first place, or I wouldn't mind second or third. But this is unbelievable! This is outrageous!
People, look at him. Four of his dramas are like the best in the whole of Korea: Personal Taste, Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs, and City Hunter. Forget that. Look at his figure! He is so hot and cool, and his smile makes me happy. I think I am going to explode.

Wait. What? Lee Min-ho is a tremendously talented actor. He stars in many of Korea's most popular dramas. His talent in acting, his handsome figure, and his charisma are what brought him to stardom. I think Lee Min-ho should be number one, in the top three at least. But I think this list consists of more band members for some reason.
Myungsoo (Infinite)

One of the things that is so unique about Myungsoo is his prominent facial features. He is known to have a really sharp nose and a perfect side profile. His features are lovely to look at. His skin is really milky, and his eyes are one of his most attractive features. His eyes vary from looking beautiful and soft to having intense cold stares. His lips were voted as the number 1 most kissable lips in Korea. He is also known for his wonderful, prominent jawline.
He is talented in Infinite, with his soft, unique, cartoon-like voice. He is talented in playing both acoustic and electric guitar and is also known for his sharp dance moves.

Kim Myungsoo is perfect, from his amazing facial features to his unique personality. His eyes are what make him different from others. They change from looking cold, deep, and mysterious to being affectionate and loving.
The thing that always hooks me is the way he changes from being the quiet, emotionless L to being the dorky and charming Myungsoo that we love. Like his other members, he has lots of talents too. They range from singing and acting to playing the guitar and dancing.
Besides his beautiful facial features, the one thing that really stands out is his laugh. He has different varieties of laughs, like his eye-smile laugh or his seal-clapping laugh. There's no doubt in my mind that this adorable idiot is my bias.
Jonghyun (CNBLUE)

Jong Hyun is such a beautiful man. He is also talented. For me, he is one of the most handsome men in Korea because of his milky skin, his lovely eyes, warm voice, and charisma whenever he plays his electric guitar.
He deserves to be on the top 10 list here.

Jong-hyun totally deserves a spot here. I used to think Yonghwa was the most handsome K-pop idol. But I've never been able to say that Yonghwa is more handsome than Jong-hyun. Jong-hyun has a really clean kind of handsome. He looks like he's a prince who walked out of an anime.
G-Dragon (BIGBANG)

G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong (권지용), born August 18, 1988) is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer. He is a member of the K-pop boy group BIGBANG.
G-Dragon initially debuted as a child hip-hop artist in 2001 participating in the album 2001 Daehanminguk Hip Hop Flex. He was... read more

Maybe he doesn't have the perfect body, or he's not the most attractive guy you would see. No, I'm going to be honest. The first time I saw him, I was like, "What's wrong with this guy?" Yeah, yeah, I wasn't thinking clearly.
But, damn! Now I'm in love with him. His talent and passion on stage are speechless. He's so talented! God! I haven't seen an idol like him. He's unique! He's amazing! I admire him. That's all I can say.

He is so talented and smart. A true musician. At such a young age, he has had to deal with a lot of pressure, and he has done a fantastic job. I hope his future is filled with much happiness and that he continues to entertain us however he chooses. Yes, he is also very easy on the eyes, but there is much more to him than that.
Vernon (Seventeen)

Vernon is handsome. I can't find the words to describe him. I can't believe that he is half Korean.
I can't find it in his facial features.

Vernon is the definition of pure perfection and beauty, especially with his long brown-blond wavy hair.
Ahh!
Suga (BTS)

Min Yoon-gi, better known by his stage names Suga and Agust D, is a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is a member of the globally popular boy band BTS. As a solo artist, he has released mixtapes and albums that showcase a more introspective and raw side of his musical style.

Some people say Suga isn't attractive. I beg to differ. He is hot. Watch him rapping and tell me he isn't hot.
He is also adorable. Lil' Meow Meow and his gummy smile. He is just attractive.

Suga is a talented young man. His love for his "brothers" in BTS shows without his speaking. Sometimes, the less said means more love.
Never change, Suga!

BTS Suga, oh my God, what do I have to say? That little meow meow just kills ARMY. He should be ranked first as the cutest guy in the world.
Leeteuk (Super Junior)

Park Jeong-su, better known by his stage name Leeteuk, is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actor.
He is the leader of the boy band Super Junior, which debuted in 2005 and became one of the most successful K-pop groups. Leeteuk has also hosted a variety of television programs and is known for... read more

Leeteuk is the best leader ever. He's a great "hyung" and a great idol. He deserves to be at the top because he works hard, is kind, friendly, and warm-hearted.
He loves his fans more than other leaders do. He is strong and does his best. His voice is very kind and gentle.
These are just some of his qualities. The most important thing is that Leeteuk is beautiful. His look is always fresh and stylish, and he is always as good as ELF's wish. His smile is so warm and shiny. We love Leeteuk for what he is.

Leeteuk is the best leader in all K-pop generations. He is like a mirror to others and inspires us every day (and his hoobaes) with his warm heart and leadership. He has so many qualities that I can't describe all of them.
He is more than beautiful, sexy, handsome, or gentle. He is special. He works very hard in any job, whether as an MC, DJ, or even just a guest.
He always tries his best. He has the voice of angels every time he sings solo or with SJ members. His smile with a dimple and his laugh are so unique that I can recognize them with my eyes closed. He is stylish, sexy, manly, and the only person I want to be in the future. I am proud to say he is my inspiration in life.
Heechul (Super Junior)

Kim Hee-chul, better known by the mononym Heechul, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, presenter, and actor. He is a member of the boy group Super Junior under SM Entertainment. Heechul has also appeared in various television shows and dramas.

I don't know what's happening here, but didn't he win the title of the most beautiful Korean idol in 2015? Heechul-oppa possesses a charming smile, nice complexion, mesmerizing eyes, and a gorgeous hairstyle.
Whatever he wears, he looks handsome. He has cute dimples, a childish character, and a playful soul. If you didn't know, he was voted as the most popular star that everyone in the industry wants to be acquainted with. So, why he isn't at the top of the list is beyond my understanding.

A man who is more beautiful than women and so masculine at the same time. The real magic is that he doesn't age. Even time loves him so much.
He is pretty and charming simultaneously.
Kim Bum (F4)

He is really cute and handsome. In Boys Over Flowers, I personally felt that he was the best-looking in F4, and even he and Kim So-eun were a better couple than the main couple, according to me. His face is cute and handsome at the same time. And he is an awesome actor!

Most handsome Korean actor ever! He's such a cutie pie. He's my teddy bear. Love him so much. And he's got this beautiful, deep yet subtle voice, which complements his looks. Truly such an angel from heaven.
Saranghae oppa. Fighting!

There is a reason he was chosen as an F4 member: he has an astonishing and warm beauty. He resembles a child.
Jang Keun-suk

Jang Keun-suk is a South Korean actor and singer. He is best known for starring in television dramas such as Beethoven Virus, You're Beautiful, Mary Stayed Out All Night, Love Rain, Pretty Man, and Jackpot.

Full of charisma. A great actor. I was really amazed by his incredible skills in acting. Sukkie is a very jolly person and very true to himself. I love his fashion style that really fits him. I love his different hairstyles, and when he makes faces like pouting (in He's Beautiful), it's really cute.

He is a multi-talented actor. He can sing very well. I simply love his voice. His performance is great, especially in He's Beautiful.
He is definitely my number one.

My true love. He was the one who lured me into this world. A brilliant actor. The best in his generation.
An exceptional singer and performer. Love him.
