ATEEZ’s Twitter / ONEUS’s Twitter
In K-Pop, there is a wide variety of physical characteristics and personalities, enough for everyone to find an idol they like. But considering just the look can sometimes be tricky. In fact, there are many idols whose face or body doesn’t match their personalities. For example, some may look small and cute but have strong and charismatic personalities, while others may be the exact opposite. Many idols who seem intimidating or very charismatic can be some of the softest people in the industry.
Especially in the younger generation, many idols have deep voices or even go to the gym, which doesn’t help in showing their cute side. However, if you give some of them a chance, you will be surprised to see their soft side. They may seem intimidating, but in reality, they are the kindest. So let’s dive into these intimidating-looking male idols who are actually real softies.
