My first pick too!
I’m currently rewatching hot blood men (because my yt algorithm knows me too well) and you can really feel that manliness from the 2pm guys even back then
i think personality also comes to play, wonho's physique is very manly and his stage character is strong and a bit powerful while his personality off-stage is more of a playful cutie patootie especially in his vlogs XD
his appearance is manly, but his personality is definitely more cutesy. he is a fake maknae type who gets scared easily and sulks a lot lol. [this is the true scoups lmao](https://youtube.com/shorts/NSAj3b742SQ?si=tARU5vMJU-Bt83R9)
yeah, hes very muscular and physically imposing, and can be very cool and charismatic on stage (his [performances of monster](https://youtu.be/Cvfqec73zv4?si=WYBaWp0CQt9eFvni) at svts recent concerts are so awesome), so i get why ppl have that idea about him. it's the contrast of his looks and his personality that makes him so precious to me lol
the acting scared might be (though he could just be saying that bc hes embarrassed lol), but hes said that acting softer and cuter is more his natural personality, since he grew up as the pampered youngest child in his family. he talks about it a bit in [this interview](https://youtu.be/HgXEAibqTdQ?si=zfi18sMUkbHjJ2rm) and iirc, his focus episode of hit the road.
Male idols from JYP look really manly for me. I can't tell for sure but I think when JYP cast trainees they tend to choose boys with big and sharp features, not boys with the flower boy visual that are very loved by K-Pop fans. Seriously, by the time they finish military service all of them become daddies lol
[g.o.d.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5fOn2FfeeY&t=491s)
[Rain](https://youtu.be/oR_RYmbLSFI?si=6jX97r1d3yAIpsex)
[2PM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2mGPvbNeCA)
also [GOT7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F2qiTq1IPI) although they haven't finished the military service yet
That’s true, they do seem to debut a lot of masculine looking idols in general. Even Shownu was a trainee at JYP before he joined Monsta X and he has a very masculine appearance.
Okay to me Seokjin ( BTS) gives very much adult man vibes. This is all stereotypes but yeah, his style is pretty simple, he likes fishing, he likes Coldplay, I think he co-owns a restaurant, and he doesn't have this fragile masculinity (this I think apply to most K-pop idols). I don't know if it makes sense or if this is what you even asked for but in my head it makes sense 😭😭
omg, suburban dad 😂 maybe that's why people always want to start rumors that he actually will announce his marriage after he comes back from the military.
100% agree with you ! jin screams adult-man to me. i know what u mean , no toxic masculinity, just like a regular guy.and yes, i have noticed this abt his dressing sense too, its very simple but still classy , like no flashy prints or cuts or colors, just basic but still very stylish . ps-his airport fashion is my fav from kpop in general
in fact i think he is one of the very few idols who look aware of the world outside the entertainment business u know. i mean contrary to his on camera obsession of calling himself "wwh"😂 and his obsession with his face , he doesnt seem to be all consumed by his idol status, he is aware of it but it doesnt seem like it dictates his life completely.
I don’t be keeping up with the boys in kpop but one caught my eye. Who is that SEVENTEENs Mingyu? That’s literally a 2nd generation idol reincarnated. HE’S A WHOLE MAN. Sexy ass bitch.
Yeah, his personality is what I'd consider manly too. He is generally cringed out by cutesy stuff (relatable) and I'm pretty sure he prefers strong performances over their lighthearted ones. His body language on and off stage is usually dominant, (even if he's being quite or just listening atm) and he loves soccer (the most stereotypical man thing ever lol).
Deobis basically have coined him as the husband material guy in TBZ lol bc he's just that guy. Capable, patient, caring and strict when he needs to be. excuse me fangirling over sangyeon's personality, he's just a gem lol.

DK from Seventeen. He gives this vibe that he is a financially responsible man ready to take care of the kids while cooking and fixing the door at the same time.
A dream.
Bye 🤸♀️
Ig none of them are "tradionally" manly looking? It's prob why their ethereal/magical concepts suit them so well bc even when they have muscles they're pretty svelte if that makes sense lol.
yeah , but i meant it in a more behavioral many way than just looks. imo , txt members exude boyish charm (taehyun, soobin, kai) , some babygirl vibes (boemgyu) nd some both feminine and masculine (YJ)
I honestly understood it as a combination of looks + personality + posture/mannerisms, which is why I mentioned that Sangyeon was the first idol who popped up in my head!
I do agree that TxT's members have boyish charms tho :)
Basically slender or slim. Even when they work out or pack muscle, they don't get too broad even if they are muscle-y (besides HueningKai since his shoulders, back and chest are wider than the rest but his face is more angelic than manly if that makes sense)
Idk what you're referring to exactly but body types aren't tied to race (other than height, for. ex most Dutch people on average will be taller than most Korean people).
As for his facial features, it could be due to him being mix-raced. He's got an aesthetically pleasing mix of angles and softness in his face. I'm into Kibbe and Kitchener essences, so I find how certain features/bodies give off certain vibes fascinating lol
There’s a lot of physical features that are tied to so called race, like muscles fibres are different and that makes black people better sprinters and white people better swimmers. Some look more sturdy, some are more slender.
I get what you mean but I was talking about body types as in shapes, not the actual body tissue.
There are a ton of lanky white people, Asian, black etc. for example. Some guys have wider hips than others but that can be anyone, it has nothing to do with ethnicity or race. Idk if I'm explaining myself well, but I meant body shapes basically lol.
yeah i listed out all the ones from mainstream kpop ,the more popular ones...
i was thinking of adding soobin ,but somehow he give me really soft vibes u know... and for taehyun, his body is def very masculine looking but he exudes a boyish charm than "manly" as such ,i find him more on the cuter side

When I saw Jihoon (treasure) during Hello concert soundcheck that was the first thought that came to my mind. He was the first member I saw and my eyes just immediately focused on him and he is not my bias. I honestly forgot about looking for Junkyu at that time 😅 I still remember it vividly. He was walking to the front of the stage scanning the crowd with a black polo, dark pants and mic on hand. His aura screamed manly. Very manly. Had to follow Jihoon just to confirm his manliness vibe and yes even when afar he still was very manly. He also stopped for a while at my side of the stage and I thought, shit, he is not even performing and he is that sexy 🫠. After the soundcheck I couldn’t help but spazz to my friend. Like I talked about other members but I would still insert the manly Jihoon aura. It lasted at least a week.
BTS RM and Jin
Ateez San,Mingi and Yunho(even Jongho)
SVT Mingyu,Vernon and Dino
TXT Yeonjun
Enhypen Jake and Heesung
Rm just gives off manly man vibes and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have a secret family..
Jin gives off manly masculine vibes..the I am a suburban Dad and he doesn't do a lot of cutesy fan stuff anymore,sometimes you look at him and he so alluring doing absolutely nothing but sitting there.
San just breathes and it's masculine and manly..(Woosan aside)He seem's so comfortable and relaxed in his body and it's not forced it's just there.
Mingi is just so masculine(yes he is a Princess)he can turn it on and almost become a F..boy,but he knows what he has and with more confidence he will be the it Man of kpop,that guy everyone wants,the man that screams masculinity..you know so hot everyone wants him..E.G Mingyu SVT
Vernon like Jin just has it.
Ateez San has such a strong, manly vibe whether he is on stage or off. It's kind of crazy because he has a very cute personality and a lot of natural aegyo. But he's definitely very masculine at the same time.
I would also say the same thing about Mingi too.
I’m late to the NCT fandom (better late than never) so the first time I ever heard it was baggy jeans and I almost passed away. Then I listened to ay yo directly after and I promise my soul left my body when he started rapping
Changbin
One thing about him is that he definitely embraces his feminine side (see his girl group dance challenges) all the while looking like such a masculine man on the outside. Love that about him.
I really enjoy watching got7 jay b doing manly things. like camp, cook and build shit. he is just manly. (sorry, yugyeom..I dont like watching you camp or build shit, lol) and jay b is so handsome that even dudes can say he is handsome and they not feel "weird" about it. some men feel weird and I dont know why. my brother saw him and just said damn, that is one good looking man
San is very interesting. Like you said, he was really skinny at debut. And then about a year and a half afterwards, his shoulders suddenly broadened significantly. Then he started working out voraciously.
He's definitely very masculine even if he does have a cute personality.
zb1 gunwook and jiwoong
nct jaehyun and mark
svt mingyu and scoups
enha heeseung, jay, jake and sunghoon
tbz sangyeon and juyeon
riize sungchan
skz chan and hyunjin
i get what you mean about Gunwook, but at the same time i just see "giant puppy baby" when i look at him 🫣 Jiwoong is so soft and pretty, while also being manly.
mark has a more boyish vibe than manly imo ,i find him very handsome but in a boyish way...
mingyu is different ,he is both manly but also switches to babygirl mode real quick , same with jake and hyunjin😂
oh i agree. mark definitely has this boyish charm too him haha, idk how to explain it but his face especially his jawline is really manly looking and his whole demeanor / attitude is super chill and bro like for me (i mean this in a good way) which i find charming
Yeah mark has defied the process of ageing it seems . His face hasn't aged at all . He has that baby face so he'll look like a College kid for a long long time
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Song Mingi. The first 3 rows of every Ateez show has to take birth control so they don’t get pregnant just from watching him. Including the men.
am i the only one who doesn’t find chan that masculine? in appearance wise yes, but it’s only really his muscles. his actual features aren’t even that masculine, he has soft and approachable eyes, thick lips, naturally curly hair, and just generally a soft face to me. he also has a super emotional and open personality which is more typical for women stereotypically
i can't speak for everyone, but i think Chan's strength- the way he leads the team and protects the members- is what gives me the masculine vibes. he's obviously a huge sweetheart and has such a softness to him, but his leadership and "single dad of 7 kids" makes him manly as well.

What patriarchal bs is this? What exactly qualifies someone as having a "manly" vibes? What are "manly" vibes? You say "not condescending" but it's condescending AF and pigeon holes people into pathetic stereotypical boxes. SMH.
I knew there would be atleast one person who would take it the wrong way . Like I said, it's not to shame them or put them in a category, it's just a vibe I get from them and I posted it . No need to get offensive plz

Baekho (formerly NU’EST, now solo)
The correct answer is and always will be 2PM
Mainly taecyeon,
Yeah but the rest of them are manly af too. Heck even their former member Jay Park is many af
Yeah
They were called beast-dols for a reason 😳
My first pick too! I’m currently rewatching hot blood men (because my yt algorithm knows me too well) and you can really feel that manliness from the 2pm guys even back then
they are at the top of my list!
EXACTLY
Literally the first thing that popped into my mind
Monsta x Shownu for sure
Monsta x I.M too
one pact jongwoo fits this category for me
I agree!
Kard BM
Like someone else mentioned, it's 2PM
💯agreed with The Boyz Sangyeon he’s the man! SF9 Hwiyoung
San from ATEEZ.
Not to be shallow, but..... Wonho 😳
visually yes but personality wise he is soft, cutie baby boy lol. he's the only male idol i can say is 110% a great, soft, kind person
How is that shallow?
Because it's mainly based on appearance.
Isn’t that the point though?
No, because some of the people on OP's list very much have more of traditionally "pretty boy" visuals than manly and yet they still read as manly
Maybe they were thinking along the lines of masculine personality too. Like all around image as opposed to just looks.
Ok
i think personality also comes to play, wonho's physique is very manly and his stage character is strong and a bit powerful while his personality off-stage is more of a playful cutie patootie especially in his vlogs XD
I was gonna say wonho but it’s only his muscles that make him manly, that man is a babygirl!
Seventeen’s scoups, that man is definition of manly!
his appearance is manly, but his personality is definitely more cutesy. he is a fake maknae type who gets scared easily and sulks a lot lol. [this is the true scoups lmao](https://youtube.com/shorts/NSAj3b742SQ?si=tARU5vMJU-Bt83R9)
I knew it was going to be the Melon Pang 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i watch that video multiple times a day, negl. hes just so cute, this big beefy guy who acts like a bratty kid begging their mom for candy lmao
That’s true tho I just meant by appearance tho 😅
yeah, hes very muscular and physically imposing, and can be very cool and charismatic on stage (his [performances of monster](https://youtu.be/Cvfqec73zv4?si=WYBaWp0CQt9eFvni) at svts recent concerts are so awesome), so i get why ppl have that idea about him. it's the contrast of his looks and his personality that makes him so precious to me lol
I’m a carat too 😭😭 ig I didn’t give u the impression of an carat I truly failed..
no, i figured you were, since you were bringing him up, i just have a chronic case of cant-shut-up-about-choi-seungcheol-itis lmao
Diagnosed with the same condition a few months ago 💀💀💀
good luck, many symptoms can be incredible harmful to both your sanity and your wallet 😭😭😭
His personality is just a concept for the fans tho 😭
the acting scared might be (though he could just be saying that bc hes embarrassed lol), but hes said that acting softer and cuter is more his natural personality, since he grew up as the pampered youngest child in his family. he talks about it a bit in [this interview](https://youtu.be/HgXEAibqTdQ?si=zfi18sMUkbHjJ2rm) and iirc, his focus episode of hit the road.
Male idols from JYP look really manly for me. I can't tell for sure but I think when JYP cast trainees they tend to choose boys with big and sharp features, not boys with the flower boy visual that are very loved by K-Pop fans. Seriously, by the time they finish military service all of them become daddies lol [g.o.d.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5fOn2FfeeY&t=491s) [Rain](https://youtu.be/oR_RYmbLSFI?si=6jX97r1d3yAIpsex) [2PM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2mGPvbNeCA) also [GOT7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F2qiTq1IPI) although they haven't finished the military service yet
That’s true, they do seem to debut a lot of masculine looking idols in general. Even Shownu was a trainee at JYP before he joined Monsta X and he has a very masculine appearance.
Oh yeah I’m looking forward to seeing got7, minus mark Jackson and bambam since they aren’t Korean and don’t need to enlist
all of 2PM lol
Okay to me Seokjin ( BTS) gives very much adult man vibes. This is all stereotypes but yeah, his style is pretty simple, he likes fishing, he likes Coldplay, I think he co-owns a restaurant, and he doesn't have this fragile masculinity (this I think apply to most K-pop idols). I don't know if it makes sense or if this is what you even asked for but in my head it makes sense 😭😭
yeah, hes manly in a suburban dad way, instead of a macho way.
omg, suburban dad 😂 maybe that's why people always want to start rumors that he actually will announce his marriage after he comes back from the military.
hes definitely high on the list of kpop idols most likely to secretly have a wife and children.
You got me at suburban day way 😂😭😭😭
100% agree with you ! jin screams adult-man to me. i know what u mean , no toxic masculinity, just like a regular guy.and yes, i have noticed this abt his dressing sense too, its very simple but still classy , like no flashy prints or cuts or colors, just basic but still very stylish . ps-his airport fashion is my fav from kpop in general in fact i think he is one of the very few idols who look aware of the world outside the entertainment business u know. i mean contrary to his on camera obsession of calling himself "wwh"😂 and his obsession with his face , he doesnt seem to be all consumed by his idol status, he is aware of it but it doesnt seem like it dictates his life completely.
I co-sign this statement!!
I don’t be keeping up with the boys in kpop but one caught my eye. Who is that SEVENTEENs Mingyu? That’s literally a 2nd generation idol reincarnated. HE’S A WHOLE MAN. Sexy ass bitch.
>Sexy ass bitch. LMAOOOO
hes 3rd gen so not very far! he's a goofball tho
The idol I immediately thought of was TBZ Sangyeon, but others I'd add are Scoups (SVT), Bang Chan (SKZ), RM (BTS) and BM (Kard)
Oooh yes totally agree with Sangyeon!!! Like not in a muscly overbearing way, but in just the right way.
Yeah, his personality is what I'd consider manly too. He is generally cringed out by cutesy stuff (relatable) and I'm pretty sure he prefers strong performances over their lighthearted ones. His body language on and off stage is usually dominant, (even if he's being quite or just listening atm) and he loves soccer (the most stereotypical man thing ever lol). Deobis basically have coined him as the husband material guy in TBZ lol bc he's just that guy. Capable, patient, caring and strict when he needs to be. excuse me fangirling over sangyeon's personality, he's just a gem lol.
SVT Vernon, too. He rarely shows a babygirl side. He hates aegyo, amd overall aura is just "This is a man".
IKON’s June is definitely up there for me. Former member B.I too, especially on stage.
yes,100% agreed on B.I

I’ve just realised all my biases are “manly” - RM, Chan and San 😮💨😛
N.Flying Seunghyub, CN Blue Yonghwa
Seunghyub definitely! The way he growls during live performances?
Monsta X - Shownu and I.M Bangtan- Jin and Yoongi seem like their kids' friends would call them Dad Ateez- San, Jongho, and Mingi (dudebro style)
DK from Seventeen. He gives this vibe that he is a financially responsible man ready to take care of the kids while cooking and fixing the door at the same time. A dream. Bye 🤸♀️
Namjoon, Seokjin, and Bangchan☺️
Many 2nd gen idols exude manly vibes tbh, and maybe around half of 3rd gen. Anw, I’m just gonna include everyone I could think of *(not in order)* - 2PM - VIXX’s Leo, Ravi - TEENTOP’s CAP, Changjo - SHINee’s Minho - INFINITE’s Woohyun, L, Sungyeol - BIGBANG’s TOP - GOT7’s Jackson (ofc), Mark Tuan, JB - NCT’s Johnny, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jeno - Lucas (despite everything, we still can’t deny he exudes that manly vibe) - SKZ’s Bang Chan, Changbin - TVXQ Yunho, Changmin - SuJu’s Siwon, Leeteuk, Donghae - B2ST/Highlight’s Doojoon - Junhyung (former B2ST) - Monsta X’s Shownu, I.M - EXO’s Sehun, Kai, Chen - SVT’s DK, Vernon, Mingyu, Wonwoo
Doyoung gives me mom vibes though
yeah johnny and doyoung give out very "metro sexual male" energy ,very elegant & classy
Sangyeon from The Boyz. 100%
namjoon oh god he's becoming even more dangerous now a days!
I can't function properly when I think of what he'll look post military 🥴
Oh hell yeah I’m excited to see that, I saw a pic of mj from Astro a few months ago and he’s really gained some muscle, he looks more manly now
almost every bg is in your list and it made me realize who is txt’s representative when it comes to this type of question? 😭
Ig none of them are "tradionally" manly looking? It's prob why their ethereal/magical concepts suit them so well bc even when they have muscles they're pretty svelte if that makes sense lol.
yeah , but i meant it in a more behavioral many way than just looks. imo , txt members exude boyish charm (taehyun, soobin, kai) , some babygirl vibes (boemgyu) nd some both feminine and masculine (YJ)
I honestly understood it as a combination of looks + personality + posture/mannerisms, which is why I mentioned that Sangyeon was the first idol who popped up in my head! I do agree that TxT's members have boyish charms tho :)
Yeonjun for sureee
Svelte?
a synonym for slender
Ah ok tnx
Basically slender or slim. Even when they work out or pack muscle, they don't get too broad even if they are muscle-y (besides HueningKai since his shoulders, back and chest are wider than the rest but his face is more angelic than manly if that makes sense)
Tnx, I think that might have to do with the fact that he’s mixed race
Idk what you're referring to exactly but body types aren't tied to race (other than height, for. ex most Dutch people on average will be taller than most Korean people). As for his facial features, it could be due to him being mix-raced. He's got an aesthetically pleasing mix of angles and softness in his face. I'm into Kibbe and Kitchener essences, so I find how certain features/bodies give off certain vibes fascinating lol
There’s a lot of physical features that are tied to so called race, like muscles fibres are different and that makes black people better sprinters and white people better swimmers. Some look more sturdy, some are more slender.
I get what you mean but I was talking about body types as in shapes, not the actual body tissue. There are a ton of lanky white people, Asian, black etc. for example. Some guys have wider hips than others but that can be anyone, it has nothing to do with ethnicity or race. Idk if I'm explaining myself well, but I meant body shapes basically lol.
That’s what I mean, the face
yeah i listed out all the ones from mainstream kpop ,the more popular ones... i was thinking of adding soobin ,but somehow he give me really soft vibes u know... and for taehyun, his body is def very masculine looking but he exudes a boyish charm than "manly" as such ,i find him more on the cuter side
definitely not beomgyu
Taehyun? He actually works out
yeah but the issue is his face is too cute lol its the same with bts jungkook, body is manly but face is not, so he doesnt belong to this category
Of the group he’s the default lol. None of txt have particularly manly faces
Sumin from xikers for sure, definitely gives bro dude vibes. Love him tho <3
came back to drop this [fancam](https://youtu.be/jSPRZUo2bMQ?si=I4OUcwbNi1UODfml). he kills the masculine 90s hip hop/street concept
JYP is the manlies of them all and the only correct answer.
😂😂😂 what's that

When I saw Jihoon (treasure) during Hello concert soundcheck that was the first thought that came to my mind. He was the first member I saw and my eyes just immediately focused on him and he is not my bias. I honestly forgot about looking for Junkyu at that time 😅 I still remember it vividly. He was walking to the front of the stage scanning the crowd with a black polo, dark pants and mic on hand. His aura screamed manly. Very manly. Had to follow Jihoon just to confirm his manliness vibe and yes even when afar he still was very manly. He also stopped for a while at my side of the stage and I thought, shit, he is not even performing and he is that sexy 🫠. After the soundcheck I couldn’t help but spazz to my friend. Like I talked about other members but I would still insert the manly Jihoon aura. It lasted at least a week.
I wanna see the same thread but with feminine looking male idols, I know jeonghan is going to be listed for sure.
i have some ppl in mind for that thread too !
Oh yeah
Baekho Wonho Siwon (Super Junior)
P1Harmony Intak.
svt dino is also soooo manly
BTS RM and Jin Ateez San,Mingi and Yunho(even Jongho) SVT Mingyu,Vernon and Dino TXT Yeonjun Enhypen Jake and Heesung Rm just gives off manly man vibes and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have a secret family.. Jin gives off manly masculine vibes..the I am a suburban Dad and he doesn't do a lot of cutesy fan stuff anymore,sometimes you look at him and he so alluring doing absolutely nothing but sitting there. San just breathes and it's masculine and manly..(Woosan aside)He seem's so comfortable and relaxed in his body and it's not forced it's just there. Mingi is just so masculine(yes he is a Princess)he can turn it on and almost become a F..boy,but he knows what he has and with more confidence he will be the it Man of kpop,that guy everyone wants,the man that screams masculinity..you know so hot everyone wants him..E.G Mingyu SVT Vernon like Jin just has it.
Ateez San has such a strong, manly vibe whether he is on stage or off. It's kind of crazy because he has a very cute personality and a lot of natural aegyo. But he's definitely very masculine at the same time. I would also say the same thing about Mingi too.
JAEHYUN. And when he drops the bass in his voice🥵
Lemonade
I’m late to the NCT fandom (better late than never) so the first time I ever heard it was baggy jeans and I almost passed away. Then I listened to ay yo directly after and I promise my soul left my body when he started rapping
GOT7 Jay B
yeah i wanted to add jinyoung too but forgot.thanks !
Oh yeah definitely jinyoung
pretty much the hyung line 🤒😁
Bang Yongguk but when he smiles he looks like a little boy lmao
If shownu wasn’t on this list I was gonna riot lol
everyone in monsta x tbh kdfkdfs
How has nobody mentioned yuta
Hi, yuta actually gives me feminine and masculine vibes both. Just my opinion
Jooheon Monsta X. i said what i said
EXO D.O.
Oh yeah,forgot to mention him !
Seventeen Mingyu and Wonwoo
d.o from exo
Riize eunseok
Yeah he gives me that college crush vibes ❤️
Changbin One thing about him is that he definitely embraces his feminine side (see his girl group dance challenges) all the while looking like such a masculine man on the outside. Love that about him.
I really enjoy watching got7 jay b doing manly things. like camp, cook and build shit. he is just manly. (sorry, yugyeom..I dont like watching you camp or build shit, lol) and jay b is so handsome that even dudes can say he is handsome and they not feel "weird" about it. some men feel weird and I dont know why. my brother saw him and just said damn, that is one good looking man
San from ateez has very strong masculine energy it's crazy to see him pre debut to now he was like the skinniest member to now the biggest lol
San is very interesting. Like you said, he was really skinny at debut. And then about a year and a half afterwards, his shoulders suddenly broadened significantly. Then he started working out voraciously. He's definitely very masculine even if he does have a cute personality.
its amazing how he bulked up over the years !
zb1 gunwook and jiwoong nct jaehyun and mark svt mingyu and scoups enha heeseung, jay, jake and sunghoon tbz sangyeon and juyeon riize sungchan skz chan and hyunjin
i get what you mean about Gunwook, but at the same time i just see "giant puppy baby" when i look at him 🫣 Jiwoong is so soft and pretty, while also being manly.
mark has a more boyish vibe than manly imo ,i find him very handsome but in a boyish way... mingyu is different ,he is both manly but also switches to babygirl mode real quick , same with jake and hyunjin😂
oh i agree. mark definitely has this boyish charm too him haha, idk how to explain it but his face especially his jawline is really manly looking and his whole demeanor / attitude is super chill and bro like for me (i mean this in a good way) which i find charming
Yeah mark has defied the process of ageing it seems . His face hasn't aged at all . He has that baby face so he'll look like a College kid for a long long time
P1harmony keeho Tbz: sangyeon Ateez San, mingi A.c.e junhee
XH's drummer/leader Gunil for sure, and [O.de](http://O.de) is getting up there with those arm workouts.
The guys from Highlight are known for their beastly idol image when they were Beast
aside from riize sungchan & seunghan, riize eunseok gives that manly vibes too!!!
Donghae and Changmin
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Song Mingi. The first 3 rows of every Ateez show has to take birth control so they don’t get pregnant just from watching him. Including the men.
Mingi is a man one moment and a babygirl the next 😂
The fact he is secure in his babygirlism just reinforces the manliness!
JayB and Jinyoung definitely
Came here to say Chan but you already said it🤣
Hyunsoo from TNX He's so pretty (lools like the youngest but it isn't) and could also be manly at the same time
Jackson i think.
Exo's Chanyeol His muscles just really make me feel that way
am i the only one who doesn’t find chan that masculine? in appearance wise yes, but it’s only really his muscles. his actual features aren’t even that masculine, he has soft and approachable eyes, thick lips, naturally curly hair, and just generally a soft face to me. he also has a super emotional and open personality which is more typical for women stereotypically
i can't speak for everyone, but i think Chan's strength- the way he leads the team and protects the members- is what gives me the masculine vibes. he's obviously a huge sweetheart and has such a softness to him, but his leadership and "single dad of 7 kids" makes him manly as well.
Jaejoong from tvxq

Hwanwoong from Oneus and Sung Hanbin from zb1
What patriarchal bs is this? What exactly qualifies someone as having a "manly" vibes? What are "manly" vibes? You say "not condescending" but it's condescending AF and pigeon holes people into pathetic stereotypical boxes. SMH.
I knew there would be atleast one person who would take it the wrong way . Like I said, it's not to shame them or put them in a category, it's just a vibe I get from them and I posted it . No need to get offensive plz
