A heated new debate has started among K-netizens, this time regarding K-pop's 5th generation female idols.
Netizens are currently discussing which female idols should be considered the 'top visuals' of K-pop's 5th generation, and comparing the most popular picks to some well-known 4th generation visuals. Many netizens are agreeing that when it comes to 4th gen, idols like IVE's Yujin and Wonyoung, aespa's Karina and Winter, and LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon and Kazuha are all considered to be some of the top visuals of their generation.
But among all 5th gen girl groups, which idols stand out as the most attractive? The 5th generation of K-pop is widely considered to have started at the beginning of 2023, and has brought forth many popular new groups like BABYMONSTER, ILLIT, and KiiiKiii.
The following idols are being debated as the top visuals of 5th gen: IZNA's Bang Jeemin, Hearts2Hearts' Ian, ILLIT's Minju, and MEOVV's Ella.
IZNA's Jeemin:
Hearts2Hearts' Ian:
ILLIT's Minju:
MEOVV's Ella:
While some netizens agree with these picks, others argue that different idols should be considered the most outstanding visuals of current K-pop.
"I think MEOVV's Anna and H2H's Ian could possibly be considered top visuals, but honestly, the 4th gen has a lot of amazing visuals. There's really no one in any generation who can top Chaewon, Ningning, and NMIXX's Jiwoo"
"If someone wants to claim the title of '5th gen's best visual,' they need to at least be prettier than 4th gen's visuals"
"MEOVV's Anna is really beautiful..."
"I don't think 5th gen has any outstanding visuals"
"I don't know about Minju being the best visual from ILLIT... to me, Moka is prettier"
"No, Wonhee should really be considered the best visual in ILLIT at least. It's not that Minju isn't pretty though"
"Honestly, MEOVV seems to have multiple best visuals, all different from each other"
"I'm just not sure if Ian and Minju should be in this lineup"
"Looking at ILLIT, it seems like Moka fits the group's concept best and should be considered the official visual of the group. But people only talk about Minju and Wonhee. Moka should be talked about more"
"I hear a lot of people say IZNA's Jeong Saebi is the best visual of this generation"
"I think among the 5th generation girl groups, no one is famous enough yet, and they all still need to build up more experience. It's too early to decide who's the best visual yet"
"Ian is definitely the top visual of this generation, just because of how beautiful her side profile is alone"
"Youngseo is also really pretty"
"Beauty is a matter of taste, so there has to be more to it than just being beautiful. Star quality, trendiness, popularity, etc"
"KiiiKiii's Leesol needs to be added to the list of top visuals"
"But looking at the visuals of previous generations, someone can't just be pretty, they also have to be well-known and successful. 5th gen is still all rookies, and it seems too early to decide this yet"
Who do you think are the best visuals of 5th gen so far?
