Recently, NCT Wish‘s Jaehee was criticized over his visuals.
NCT WISH’s Jaehee | SM Entertainment
A post on a K-forum discussing Jaehee’s appearance went viral and was titled, “Wow… seriously, how is she even an idol?” The post included a fan site photo of Jaehee while at the airport, pulling down a facemask and showing his unedited visuals.
Some comments directly discussed his appearance in negative ways, echoing the same thoughts as the OP. However, many spoke in general about male idols appearances in recent years, sharing their opinion that there were only a few that met their visual standards.
- These days it’s not just random men getting dragged — starting with BTS, from J-Hope to RM to Suga to Jimin, they’re all ugly. What is up with idols these days?
- There are way too many ugly idols lately. How are they even getting selected?
- Female idols keep getting taller and prettier as time goes on, but for male idols, honestly, when you factor in both height and looks, only a handful are even passable.
- When you look at idols or singers these days, their visuals have completely gone downhill.
Some discouraged the negative talk about visuals, turning the criticism back on commenters, and reminding them that visuals aren’t the most important aspect.
- Why don’t you post your face first?
- It’s always the ugly ones who nitpick other people’s looks.
That’s basically a universal rule lol - Since when did this turn into a country where looks are the only requirement to be an idol? lol
