From the third generation of K-POP “12 visuals” ②
K-POP第3世代の“ビジュアル12人”から②
Who are the third generation idols with overwhelming looks? The 12 chosen by Korean netizens are...
♦♦♦ Netizens choose! Beautiful visuals of the third generation of K-POP☆☆☆
From the first to the sixth, the names of members such as TWICE's Tzuyu, Red Velvet's Irene,
ITZY's Yuna, IZ*ONE's Kim Minju, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, and (G)I-DLE's Shuhua were lined up.
The seventh was DIA's Chaeyoung.
I was a little surprised to see her name. Does she still have that much of a presence?
DIA still exists as a girl group.
Eunjin left the group in May 2018.
The fourth mini album was released in August.
In March 2019, they released their fifth mini album, "NEWTRO."
Jennie left the group in July, and the group is now made up of seven members.
The group had been working in the style of GFRIEND, in keeping with Chaeyoung's popularity as an innocent girl, but the group as a whole has not been able to fully embrace that image, and they have been gradually changing their style.
Perhaps because of this, or for other reasons, they have not been able to produce any standout songs.
However, Chaeyoung's popularity as an innocent girl is still going strong, and she continues to be active as a solo artist in commercials and variety shows.
It seems likely that she will make a comeback with the group soon.
The eighth member was Arin from Oh My Girl. Arin also has a sad-faced look and is very popular.
Oh My Girl is known for having many fans among the girl members in the same industry.
Popular girl members also do solo activities, and there is a lot of misunderstanding.
Among all of these, the reason why Oh My Girl is well-liked is probably because they are a group that is easy to get along with through all of their members.
Therefore, I expected that someone would be chosen from the youngest members Arin, Jiho, or YooA.
Arin has become an indispensable member to the group in terms of appealing to youth.
The ninth member is Red Velvet's Joy.
She is friendly, cheerful, and sociable.
She gives the impression of being liked by everyone.
I realized that as the ninth member, she seems to be the face of the group, the mood maker, and the member who acts as the glue that's been chosen.
A girl group is not a spontaneous gathering that is left to chance and likes and dislikes.
It is a group of people who are selected according to set goals, conditions, and strategies.
Members who do not fit this would likely be checked and eliminated at the initial stage.
However, it is not impossible that a member who is like oil and water in terms of personality has been chosen in order to spare her talent.
In such an environment, a member who can play the role of mood maker is valuable.
I don't know if Joy is needed in that role within Red Velvet.
But it is true that there are no voices of discord from within Red Velvet to the outside world.
The tenth member is GFRIEND's Yerin.
I wish she had come out sooner.
She's friendly, cheerful, and approachable. She has something in common with the previous members.
I would like to use my impressions of Red Velvet's Joy here as well. Yerin has a familiarity to her, like coming out from the dressing room to the fans in her everyday clothes and waving.
All the members of GFRIEND are like that, but if I had to pick one, it would be Yerin.
The eleventh member is IZ*ONE's Jang Wonyoung.
Wonyoung is the second member of IZ*ONE to appear, following Minju.
Since the selection is from as many as 500 girls, I think that IZ*ONE should only have Minju.
However, that just shows how much attention IZ*ONE is getting as a group of girls, and with 12 members in total, I think it would be fine for a second member to be brought up.
Wonyoung has been talked about from a variety of angles, and perhaps that's why she's not only a topic of conversation in the idol industry, but also in living rooms across the country watching TV.
Even on the music stage, there's something about her performance, even the way she tilts her head, that draws people in beyond just her looks or skills.
She's one of the girls with unlimited potential to become something great in the future.
The 12th member was APRIL's Naeun.
This selection was surprising as she seems like a step down.
You can see how great Naeun's visuals are from this photo.
However, I thought that another member from TWICE would be chosen.
On the other hand, perhaps they couldn't have chosen Sana or Jeongyeon as the last 12th member...
Since this is a current ranking, it may be that one member whose future is unknown was included.
