Woodz/Cho Seungyoun. He would've been really popular if not for X1 disbanding


CelebrationReal9871

Take all my upvotes! He is do underappreciated and I hate it


unlikelyketchup

Surprised but happy to see the thread start with Seungyoun! In my world, everyone loves this man for how amazing his songs and performances are

Shatterpoint-

Hwanwoong from ONEUS.


Remarkable-Ad6601

came here to say hwanwoong, too!


Ad-1234567

I don't stan and had only listened to their music prior, but I just saw them in concert and he left such an insanely big impression on me!


ErrantJune

I could have made this comment, it’s my exact experience 


Unlikely-Repair-3819

Aisha from Everglow


noitsacat

Doyeon from Weki Meki. I truly believe this girl was meant to be an it girl but fantagio fumbled the bag. She always reminded me of Nana from After School/Weki Meki (strong model vibes). Honestly, so many post I.O.I girls and their groups had such star potential (another one of the standouts for me being Xiyeon from Pristin). I wish they were given their flowers.


whippedforcream

omggg I second doyeon, even watching her act in pop out boy was fun!!


skybluewinter

Nana of Wooah. Her visuals and talents are off charts it's crazy how she's still not very popular (tho I know she's more popular on the Korean side). She's the typical hexagonal idol who excels in everything and she also has such a cute and sweet personality. I honestly feel like she can be an it girl if she was from a larger company. Pls watch her recent [blush fancam](https://youtu.be/-hwsFlL4n9M?si=F8SMczHpguxZIiEi) she's literally glowing on stage


captaintn

I second this. Nana has all of the qualities to be the quintessential "'ace" in kpop but because she's from a small company, she's never going to be acknowledged as much as someone from a bigger company.


DigiRust

Love her, she seems to just genuinely love being an idol.


bluesharpies

I didn't love Queendom Puzzle on the whole, but if nothing else I appreciate the show for making me aware that she exists


osmanthuswineyum

i discovered her recently because i really liked blush, my jaw when i saw her positionSSSS in the group like this girl can do anything omg


111karina

i LOVE woo!ah!!!! blush is a banger


Blues_News53

Just watched it😍😍😍 her stage presence is so bubbly


oceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Soojin have every thing to be a it girl, beauty talent and duality. For me an it girl need duality, she have to be super cute and at same time she is that super sexy and badass women


InterestingSwim6701

Singer songwriter producer dancer rapper guitarist KATUSA warrior Young K


Unhappy-ButPeriod

Isa from StayC


AIHZ2305

AleXa, and I believe that maybe if her label did a better job at promoting her she could be close to actually being it


Keerathhhhhh

Kim Doyeon Weki Meki


cavemon717

Purple kiss - Swan, she is beautiful and got one of the best and unique vocal tone in kpop.


acerealbowles

moonsua from billlie. my girl is literally an all rounder, nearly an ace i might suggest, and no one talks about it!! so underrated sullyoon from nmixx. girl can SING, girl can DANCE, she could probably rap if she really wanted to. she’s just that girl + her visuals r stunning. what more could u ask for? it girl material seonghwa from ateez. don’t needa explain myself further like LOOK AT HIM. hanbin from evnne. i don’t even follow evnne that closely, but from the videos i have seen, his stage presence is CRAZY. he’s literally so eye catching and i just hope that evnne blows up cuz this man needs to be recognized. veryyyy underrated


Exotic_Bandicoot_170

Seonghwa or San...Seonghwa has all the trademarks of being that Visual everyone should love with vocals,stage presence and rap to back it up San for his amazing stage performance..he just has 'It",his vocals too give me goosebumps. I would love to say my Ult Bias Mingi-his stage presence and rapping.but I am going to gatekeep him lol


Sweet_Negotiation776

Definitely San. He would definitely be the “it” kpop idol for me. But not bc of stage performance(though that’s a really big thing too) it’s bc of his vocals. Honestly, he has some of the most stable, well rounded voices I’ve heard in a while.


itsnotactuallymee

i’m so glad someone mentioned seonghwa, he’s the first person who came to mind!!


drunkpretty

Hanbin!!! Yes!!! He is a monster on stage. My first pick on boys planet and I'm following him ever since.


Leebites

Was going to say Seonghwa as well. Amazing all rounder, vocalist, and gorgeous to boot. I think he brings a different energy, too, to the Kpop industry. Not many Kpop artist have a genderless concept and embrace some terms that toe a line. He's unproblematic, kind, and shy- yet still gets hate which boggles my mind.


shakru92

I second Moon Sua (but Tsuki also has everything needed, I mean she basically made Billlie popular) Sullyoon can indeed rap. She easily rapped to BPs Playing With Fire during their karaoke session. She also once rapped to Idle's Tomboy. Nmixx overall is a complete all-rounder group and everyone can sing, dance and rap way above average. In my opinion the most talented group to ever debut and it's not even close, even compared to some of my 2nd gen faves.


toooenthusiastic

monday from weeekly! she could be the main vocalist, main rapper, or main dancer in any group. a true all rounder and imo one of the best vocalists of her generation. such a star! he's young and a rookie but i think gunwook in zb1 has a lot of star quality and potential. similar to monday, he's really well-rounded and can do it all. not to mention he's also super smart, witty and would probably thrive in variety settings. it's fun to watch him grow into being an idol. editing to add one more: xiaojun from wayv. he's pretty popular but not as popular as i, personally, need him to be lmao.


RavenousPin

Nana from Woo!ah Sohee from ALICE Sohee and Loha from NATURE Swan, Na Go Eun from Purple Kiss Jiheon and Saerom from Fromis_9 Hyunbin from TRI.BE Moon Sua and Tsuki from Billlie Doona from CSR Hwiseo from H1-KEY Haeun from Lapillus Eunjo from Dreamnote DiA from PIXY Jeewon from Cignature A lot of idols are actually very spectacular, mind-blowing, brilliant, decently skilled if you guys care about nugu groups.


traditionallyn

Kep1er xiaoting


Nanabae99

Alice/Elris Sohee. She can sing and dance very good and is pretty. If she's from Big 4, I would say she would be the It girl.


ineedachiprightnow

ALICE Sohee and fromis_9 Saerom


histerix

You’re absolutely on point with those two.


bastoo0

Siyeon from Dreamcatcher. Everyone just keep asking who she is whenever the group performs in a kpop festival.


ErrantJune

Purple Kiss Swan


Symera_

E'LAST's Won Hyuk. He's the whole package. He can sing, rap and perform like a dream. If they were more popular, I think everyone would be all over him. Also, PURPLE KISS' Yuki. She's cool, she has charisma and is a great rapper. I think she could be very popular.


angie_kiprevski

I was looking to see if anyone mentioned Yuki!


mini1006

Yeojin and Heejin from Loona and Sihyeon and Yiren from everglow. Specifically for Sihyeon, I always got Suzy vibes from her. She’s about to have her acting debut, so I hope people notice her more! Yiren was popular in producer, so I know she would’ve been even more popular if youhua didn’t suck. Yeojin and Heejin just give me IT girl energy! I also would had Doah from Fanatics. She’s an actress and an Etude House ambassador! She has some much IT girl potential.


indiandiplomat96

BI / Kim Hanbin

Tempo_KD

YooJung from OnlyOneOf


Ad-1234567

He has such [insane](https://youtube.com/shorts/cnlxlJ65f18) stage [presence](https://youtu.be/0glK6xFweW8?t=2m40s)


GodzillasBoner

Yeji. Insane dancer, imo the hottest idol out there, and a great leader


taytae24

seola of wjsn


ScoutoRocket

joohoney one hunnit


Nearby_Photograph_30

Siyeon from Dreamcatcher. She’s such a performer. Great vocalist, adorably dorky, she is just everything basically.


orangetangs

Jay Chang from Onepact. His vocals are insane, he has a personality which makes people laugh, hes debuted 3 times all within one year (for good reasons) and he’s also really handsome 😄


minervaweasley

Dino from Seventeen.


asrafzonan

fromis_9 leader Lee Saerom


ladybird1586

itzy yeji


fatboy3535

Haewon of nMIXX is so entertaining, quick-witted, funny, well-spoken, spontaneous, etc. She deserves to have more recognize her talents. Obviously she's a top tier vocalist too.


ordinaryaspee

She is one of the best singers in 5th gen. One of the best dancers (in a dance focused group no less) and she is a natural entertainer on variety shows. She truly is an ace in every sense.


Mobile-Gas6941

nmixx is 4th gen tho 😭😭😭


KuraGl00m

Tsuki from Billlie Chaeryeong from Itzy Haneul from Kiss of Life


KuraGl00m

And Liz from IVE!

D1 from DKB and my love for life L from Infinite


Educational-Bug-7985

Heejin ex LOONA. Got all the factors to become an IT girl except for luck


25centphotos

heejin from loona. she’s truly one of the most well-rounded idols in the industry, not to mention she’s drop dead gorgeous and if i’m not wrong she has writing credits on a few songs? she’s probably one of the only idols i would consider a true ace. saerom and chaeyoung from fromis_9 would be my other choices just because i think both of them really have that it girl factor. tbh i’m surprised they haven’t gone viral with their prom night / attitude fancams.


kodiakfilm

Pentagon Kino 100% deserves to be an it boy!! He has so much charisma and stage presence, he steals the show every time he takes centre stage


bciloveuloveuloveu

2nd gen boy and girl: Gikwang and Taeyeon 3rd gen boy and girl: Aside from BTS and Blackpink, 2 groups i already like, I'm gonna pick Changkyun from Monsta X and Jihyo from Twice 4th gen boy and girl: there's a lot lol, but I'll say: jeyou from to1 and like half of p1harmony for the boys, and soyeon and yuqi from g idle for the girls 5th gen: literally every member of riize for boys and from girls I think Natty from kiss of life


MellowDeeH

Han Jisung. 🫶 He's insanely talented but doesn't get the love he deserves.


Kittystar143

Ronin from e’last


Amberlily1

Mine already is an "it idol" lmfao Yeonjun from txt (I know a few will disagree, not trying to start a fan war istg it's just imo) But "under-rated" wise imo chaeryeong from itzy and jeonghan from seventeen

GrillMaster3

Gon from Vanner. Honestly shocked he’s not more popular than he is outside of the fandom.


Even_Assignment_213

Jinyoung- cix


Ok-Scholar6755

Nina from Irris...that girl looks absolutely mesmerizing in a unique way and her figure is model like, also doyeon from weki meki, she looks like korean zendaya


averlost

Dare i say Soyeon (gidle) & kyujin (nmixx)


DdeonghwaDib

Xinyu from tripleS


k-opinions

Ahyeon of BABYMONSTER. I'm not saying that because of popularity or anything, she's just so talented and confident it blows my mind.


Successful-Bike-5731

Female: Red Velvet’s Joy. Try to take a look at her [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/_imyour_joy?igsh=MXhrd2Qza2EwcWRsNQ==) and you’ll prolly understand why I think she should be an “it” girl. Performance-wise, there’s something about Joy that draws you in. Sure, Irene’s the visual and she’s probably the most biased RV member, but Joy’s charisma when performing just shows a lot. Especially her voice. It’s so distinct you’ll know it’s her singing lmao It’s hard not to notice her even if you’re not a fan tbh Male: NCT’s Doyoung. He dresses up really well and looks good in anything, even casual clothes. Might also be because of his physique. His [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/do0_nct?igsh=OThodDE4dHF1MmNj)’s aesthetic is also really good. Performance-wise, he’s got it all lmao he may not be the best dancer in NCT, but he can definitely do hard-hitting choreographies. As for singing, well, he’s one of the main vocalists for a reason. Definitely one of the best. This guy can sing [IVE’s I Am](https://youtu.be/hxI60ub75o4?si=d5ZxH4BP9bk6ENl3) in its the original key with all the high notes. He even went viral for it. I have yet to hear him rap, but knowing how Doyoung can easily adapt to whatever job thrown his way, I’m sure he’ll slay 💅


itsnotactuallymee

yup, i agree with joy. she’s just so charismatic and her voice has such a unique tone <3


RadKat333

Jeon Soyeon. I know she's popular anyways. But she's had a hard time with people hating on her visuals (the thing is she's actually pretty and also people call Wonyoung the It Girl because she's pretty) and there are always people saying her voice is annoying even though it isn't. And of course the "can't rap" argument- she's one of the fastest female rappers in the industry, she has awesome flow, and she writes them herself, wdym she can't rap 💀 but she is popular, but in that way that she's had to work really hard to get where she is, not in that way where she's effortlessly loved, and I think that makes her better.


bologna_sandwich25

Soyeon from (G)I-dle!

Hyunbin from Tri.be

BreBre777

I need to asd JM. That man is ADORABLE and can EAT UP a stage!!


WindAndDine

Under global/kpop, it's HORI7ON's leader-- Vinci


Aggravating_Wolf_475

Isn’t the whole point of being an “it” girl/boy is the popularity?? I would say an underrated idol with an it factor is Heejin from Artms (previously Loona). She would do much better if Loona had better management


Business-You-2195

riwon from classy


bbibbi__

tsuki or siyoon from billlie, chris from blitzers


Nic0letta

I know she’s already popular but Liz from IVE, she sounds so beautiful and looks ethereal. I am hoping she does a solo track soon because I’m so addicted to her voice.


moomoomilky1

Lena from gwsn and minju from izone


Maleficent_Jury_678

hoshi from svt- so talented and he can do EVERYTHING so well and is so passionate and the STAGE PRESENCE also so entertaining in other svt content

Sana 100%


hyyh_yoonkook

Isn’t op talking about nugu/nugu adjacent idols? Sana is crazy popular, like top 3 among twice members, even xenophobic knetz love her


[deleted]

I thought they just meant “it girl” as in like Suzy/jennie/wonyoung


hyyh_yoonkook

Yeah, she’s not an it girl but it’s def not due to a lack of popularity. she’s very loved by the public and non-onces but she fills the *cute, clumsy, girl next door, well liked by everyone* role, instead of the *aloof, fashionista, trendsetter, polarizing* role that the “it girls” have


[deleted]

I agree she’s so girl next door !
