Korean manhwas or webtoons/comic books are very well known for their portrayal of characters is exceptionally beautiful. They often look quite literally out of this world. While some people may think such beauty is unattainable, there are actually a lot of K-Pop idols that look like they came right out of a manhwa and to life on Earth.

It is not just their incredible looks however, that got them to this place and life and blessed them with such immense success. Only their hard work and talents are to be credited for that. However, one cannot overlook the fact that they are insanely easy on the eyes. They’re also sometimes compared to have come right out of anime or Japanese manga illustrations of characters with unmatched beauty and visuals. However, that is probably also the reason why Korean beauty standards are skyrocketing. Here’s a list of K-Pop idols that look like they’re comic book characters come to life!

1. ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo

Eunwoo has a unique charm to him besides an innocent and soft personality. His eye smile is widely popular among Koreans as well as fans worldwide and his face structure is very sought after in the Korean cosmetic surgery realm. His perfect features and flawless skin make him a perfect example for someone that looks otherworldly.

2. RED VELVET’s Irene

It is no doubt that Irene is one of the most beautiful female idols of this generation. Her visuals are unmatched and her tsundere personality is the perfect match for an anime/romance manhwa character. Irene’s eyes shine just as brightly as her talents and it is hard to look away from either.

3. SHINee’s Taemin

Taemin has been in the K-Pop industry right from when he was all but a child. However, his visuals have been over par ever since then. Taemin looks like he could belong in any fantasy world as a magical being while how bright he is. If that’s not proof enough, check out the time when he cosplayed as Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle and see for yourself what we mean.

4. BLACKPINK’s Jisoo

Jisoo is a classic beauty that appeals to people all over the world. No one can help falling for her charms and her skilful voice only adds to that. Netizens and BLINKs especially are already convinced that she belongs in a novel or a manhwa so we need not explain more.

5. BTS Jin

The oldest member of BTS also has visuals that transcends space and time and maybe even dimensions in this case as he looks like a reincarnation of a manhwa character. The rich CEO or the rebellious art student, whichever role you wish to attribute to him, Jin fits all.

6. IU

No list about legendary visuals is complete without mentioning IU. Her sparkling brilliance, innocent eyes and fairy like appearance make her fit for belonging in a manhwa universe. What adds to the fact is her amazing acting performances seen in K-Dramas such as My Mister, Persona and of course Moon Lovers: Scarlet Hearts Ryeo. We can be certain that she would definitely be our favourite character, were she in a manhwa.

7. NCT Taeyong

All of us who have seen Taeyong with his white hair decalred at that very moment that Taeyong has to have jumped straight out of a romance manhwa. His sharp features coupled with his soft personality make for a perfect male protagonist.

8. LOONA’s Chuu

There is no one in K-Pop that embodies the personality of a bubbly, cheery, peppy, pretty and perfect female protagonist more than everyone’s beloved Chuu. Known worldwide for her bright smile and friendly personality, she must have come out of a manga!
