K-pop has witnessed numerous scandals that have shaken the media, stripping away the rosy image that fans often associate with the industry. However, there are still idols who restore hope to their fans. After many years in the industry, reaching the pinnacle of their careers, and having both wealth and fame, they have managed to keep their image clean, with no trace of scandal in their personal lives.
Seohyun (SNSD)
Despite starting her artistic career with the group at a young age, Seohyun has maintained an impeccably clean personal life, saying no to scandals even after 17 years in the industry. Seohyun is one of Dispatch’s most challenging targets, as after months of trailing her, they could only capture images of the Girls’ Generation maknae reading books and drinking coffee. Since her debut, Seohyun has never been involved in any controversies surrounding her personal life or her artistic activities.
Jinyoung (B1A4)
The former leader of B1A4, Jinyoung, has had a long career, yet his personal life remains remarkably clean and somewhat private. His presence on social media is rather low-key, with few images and information available. Jinyoung has never been involved in any dating scandals or controversies regarding his attitude during his artistic career. On the contrary, Jinyoung is praised by his group members and senior actors who have worked with him on various projects, both for his character and his acting skills. Directors often use Jinyoung as a reference image for the characters he portrays.
Taeyang (BIGBANG)
Taeyang, often referred to as the “precious gem” of BIGBANG, is celebrated for his intense love of music, clean personal life, and “fairytale” romance with his wife, Min Hyo-rin. Throughout his 18 years in the entertainment industry, Taeyang has remained devoted to one person—actress Min Hyo-rin. The couple’s relationship culminated in a beautiful wedding before he enlisted for mandatory military service. During his time in the military, Taeyang was praised for fulfilling his duties exceptionally well, without receiving any special treatment.
Hayoung (Apink)
Another maknae from a girl group, Hayoung of Apink, has been active for a long time, but both she and the group have consistently maintained a scandal-free life. Notably, Hayoung has even advised her older members to “avoid public relationships.” She is often regarded as the member who most strictly manages her personal relationships within the group.
