The 100’s Top 10 most handsome Kpop male idols of 2021: Cha Eunwoo and BTS’s V compete for No. 1, 2 boy group members are surprisingly absent
The 100 has announced the Top 10 most handsome Kpop male idols in 2021. How are K-netizens’ thoughts on this ranking?
The absence of BTS’s Jin and NCT’s Jaehyun from the final Top 10 surprises many Korean netizens. Do you find this ranking convincing?
Although the visual ranking of TC Candler often stumbles into controversy, it always draws attention from netizens. However, while TC Candler includes celebrities from all different countries, The 100 only ranks Kpop idols.
Recently, The 100’s TOP 10 most handsome male Kpop idols has become a trending topic on Korean online communities. This list is completely decided by the organizers, and fans could only nominate the faces they want to see in the ranking.
10th place. Jake (ENHYPEN)
9th. Juyeon (The Boyz)
8th place. Taeyong (NCT)
7th place. Hyunjin (Stray Kids)
6th place. Asahi (TREASURE)
5th place. Jungkook (BTS)
4th place. Mingyu (SEVENTEEN)
3rd place. Haruto (TREASURE)
2nd place. V (BTS)
1st place. Cha Eunwoo (ASTRO)
Compared to TC Candler’s ranking, the one released by ‘The 100’ is less controversial. Many Korean netizens agree with Cha Eunwoo getting 1st place and that his flawless visuals suit the taste of both Korean and foreign fans. BTS’s V is also believed to deserve 2nd place as well.
However, many Knetizens were surprised that Haruto and Asahi (TREASURE), as well as Jake (ENHYPEN) ranked so high. These two groups are explained to be probably more prominent internationally than domestically, and so their visuals have also caught the eye of The 100. In addition, some Knetizens were annoyed of Hyunjin (Stray Kids) being in the list as his image has been negatively affected by his private life scandals.
Lastly, the list of The 100 only reflects the subjective perspective of the administrators, so there are some controversies over some ‘absent’ names. As for Knetizens, they were extremely surprised when the TOP 10 didn’t include Jin (BTS) and Jaehyun (NCT), two idols famous for their good looks. It is known that both of these names are still in the TOP 100, but Jaehyun ranked 27th and Jin ranked 29th.
Some comments of Knet:
– I approve Juyeon, Cha Eunwoo and Mingyu.
– As expected, it’s Cha Eunwoo, everyone in the world has the same visual taste.
– Why isn’t Jin of BTS included?
– Even foreigners recognize Cha Eunwoo’s beauty.
– Eunwoo, Mingyu, Jungkook, V are my picks.
– I agree with all, except the one who is a school bully.
– I didn’t expect much because The Boyz is not frequently mentioned when it comes to visuals, but the fact that Juyeon made it into the Top 10 is cool.
– Hyunjin shouldn’t be on the list, there’s at least one more handsome member in Stray Kids.
– Jungkook and V are always present in the visual lists.
– Jin and Jaehyun are not in the Top 10?
– Wow, Haruto’s rank is so high! Congratulations TREASURE.
– I’m surprised there’s no NCT’s Jaehyun and BTS’s Jin.
– I don’t know about ENHYPEN and Treasure, but they seem very popular overseas.
– But it’s true that in the past on Korean online communities, there have been many posts asking about Asahi (TREASURE) and Jake (ENHYPEN) because they are handsome. As expected, no matter where you are, your eyes are the same ㅋㅋㅋ
