What’s an ‘Ideal Type’? As K-idols become more and more popular, many fans wonder what type of person they get fascinated by. Thus, idols’ ideal types get tremendous amount of attention. As soon as their ideal types are released, fans get busy trying their best to look or act similar to the characteristics listed. But don’t worry too much if their description doesn’t fit you. Their ideal types can change as often as whenever a new album comes out. You never know, their change of preference may better fit you. K-Idols often get asked about which aspect of their ideal partner they look for the most. Some idols’ answers are specific, but sometimes they’re ambiguous. As well as describing the characteristics of their ideal types, Idols often name celebrities who best matches their type. Here is a compilation of ideal type characteristics revealed by our bias of the day. See if any of them fit you! Idol Ideal Type of the Day: EXO! EXO’s Ideal Type Compilation (as of 2016) 1.Ideal Types (Descriptions) XiuMin: No ideal type in particular, because he’s confident once he finds a girl he really cares about, everything she does will look cute and pretty to him; However, believes that the atmosphere and feeling between the two is important.

The problem isn’t just that these are their preferences. It’s that millions of people are listening, some of which are hardcore stans and would do just about anything to be like that ideal type. If they weren’t famous, this preference would merely be seen as a preference. But their words have power now that they are famous. I’ve seen people hate on their skin color just because their bias idealizes pale skin. That’s genuinely upsetting. I don’t think it’s their fault, though. I blame society for teaching these values. They, just like we, are victim to these things society is telling us. I think the best thing to do is to make these idols aware that their words have a lot of influence on their fans, and that they should be careful about what they say. On the other hand, it’s best to remind fans that ideal types mean nothing, and that it’s fine if you don’t fit your bias’ ideal type. After all, it’s not like they’ll fall in love with you even if you did. saying something from them could be good things or bad things. These can lead to very important head line of media which means that has strong power than anything sometimes. Due to these matters. We also consider, think and re-think when we write articles or make contents. Anyway thank you for having an sincere and serious opinion of you. have a good day. ( I don’t know if you understand, my english is bad…) kiss♥ I feel like they’re all so unlikely to get married (hm…perhaps, when they turn 50??) because being a celebrity is such tough work. Maybe it’s just my gut feeling but I may be wrong (like I always am haha). However, romantic relationships could work (only those that are not started as scandals/AllKpop/Dispatch yikes). I want EXO to be comfortable and have lives of their own, too.
