These days, K-pop idols are all incredibly beautiful and handsome.

In the past, there were usually one or two members designated as the visual of the group, but now there are many groups where all the members are visuals.

Still, when you ask, "Who do you think is the prettiest these days?" a few names definitely come to mind.

Among female idols, there's IVE's Jang Won-young. Not only is her face stunning, but her overall proportions are really great.

She's tall with long limbs, so she stands out immediately on stage. When she dresses up glamorously, she looks like a Barbie doll, and even in casual wear, she has a unique aura.

She truly represents the ideal style of today's female idols.

Aespa's Karina has a different vibe. From the first time I saw her, I thought, "How can a person's face look like that?" Her features are so distinct.

She has a small face, but her eyes are large and her jawline is sharp, which is why people say she looks like a CGI character.

If Jang Won-young has a princess-like glamour, Karina seems to embody a cooler, more sophisticated beauty.

NMIXX's Seolyoon fits the description of a classic beauty perfectly.

She has big eyes and a well-balanced face, making even adults who aren't interested in idols say, "Wow, she's really pretty."

From NewJeans, Minji and Haerin catch my eye.

Minji has a rare, natural, and classic beauty, while Haerin's cat-like eyes make her memorable after just one glance. Both are beautiful, but in completely different ways.

As for male idols, it's hard to overlook Cha Eun-woo.

Even people who aren't familiar with idols know Cha Eun-woo. His name comes up whenever handsome men are mentioned, making him a standard of beauty.

In the current generation, RIIZE's Won-bin definitely stands out. At first, I thought of the actor Won-bin because of the name, but he doesn't fall short in looks either.

He has strong features and a slightly retro boyish charm. He gives off a vibe reminiscent of the 1990s or early 2000s, yet his style is very modern.

ZEROBASEONE's Seong Han-bin and Kim Ji-woong are also frequently mentioned. Seong Han-bin has a clean and soft handsome style, while Kim Ji-woong has more pronounced and masculine features.

And BTS's V and Jungkook need no introduction.

Even those who aren't K-POP fans recognize their faces, and considering their international fame, they remain at the top tier.

Personally, when I think of female idols, Jang Won-young, Karina, and Seolyoon come to mind first, while for male idols, Cha Eun-woo and Won-bin stand out.

However, it seems that just being pretty isn't enough these days. They also need to have good proportions, a unique vibe, and be memorable at first glance.

Watching these idols sometimes makes me a bit envious. Oh, I'm getting older, but how can these young people be so beautiful and handsome?

Their skin is glowing, and they know how to style themselves beautifully from head to toe; sometimes I wonder if they are even the same species as me.

Of course, I was young and vibrant in my own way back then. But at that time, we didn't take as many photos, and there wasn't an abundance of makeup or fashion information like there is now.

Looking back, I wish I had dressed up more beautifully and taken more photos when I was younger.

But what can you do? Those friends will eventually turn forty and fifty, and I'm just living my life at my age.

Still, whenever I see today's idols on TV, I can't help but say one thing.

Oh, what a great time it is. Being young is enviable, and how wonderful it must be to be that beautiful.
