This series will explore some of the idols who have so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols.  EXO’s Kai opened the series for us, followed by SF9’s Yoo TaeYang, CIX’s Bae JinYoung, ASTRO’s Cha EunWoo, Weki Meki’s Kim DoYeon, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, BTS’s V, NCT’s JaeHyun, MONSTA X’s HyungWon, EXO’s SeHun, Girls’ Generation’s YoonA, Red Velvet’s Joy, SunMi, HyunA, SF9’s RoWoon, and SF9’s ZuHo. Readers voted for SEVENTEEN’s MinGyu in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week.  MinGyu is famous as a member of the internationally famous boy group SEVENTEEN. Not only are their songs an iconic part of any K-Pop playlist, but their group members’ presence on and off-stage is no joke! MinGyu is no different with his handsome visuals. Let’s start off by admiring his face. MinGyu has a gaze that will make you feel like he is looking deep into your soul. Even GQ Magazine recognizes that MinGyu is so gorgeous that he needs to be seen through several screens.  Whether he is modeling cosmetics… …or modeling a watch, MinGyu is poised in front of the camera.

Let’s take a final moment to appreciate his gorgeous side profile.  If you knew nothing about K-Pop or SEVENTEEN, MinGyu would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree? Are there any idols that you would like to see in this series? If so, leave a comment down below and we will cover them later in the series.  

Important notice: the vote only decides who will be covered in the next article. Everyone in the poll will be covered in the series eventually. Suggestions will also be gradually added each week.   Don’t forget to check out all previous articles of the Idol vs. Model series, you can find them directly from this collective list:
