With many of the established groups peaking and starting to either (1) focus on solo activities, (2) focus on Japan and/or China, (3) stop giving any sorts of fucks, or (4) a combination of all of the above, many people find newer groups to start liking in addition to the groups one already likes. The latest generation of idols have debuted a ton of girls who are ready to take the mantle.
For this generation, I'm considering it starting from Red Velvet's debut. The Big 3 essentially determine the next generation whenever they debut new groups.
There's going to be 20 fancams (2 per idol), so just be warned if you're using mobile and don't want all of your data wasted or have a slower Internet connection and need time for all of the videos to load.
I have really started paying attention to Chaeyeon in the past week, and I didn't pay much attention to Dia's debut and I didn't watch Produce 101 (I was too busy at work to watch it when it aired). I've just seen a lot of posts about her on One Hallyu and thought she was pretty hot.
9. Lovelyz' Kei
Lovelyz' aegyo queen, in actuality, Kpop's aegyo queen, deserves a spot just for being so damn cute. To appease vocalfags (not really), she's the main vocalist of the group, but I didn't learn that until very recently. Maybe that's because she doesn't vocally masturbate in every song.
8. Red Velvet's Yeri
Yeri could have become the Hwayoung of Red Velvet, but she didn't because she has two qualities that Hwayoung doesn't: visuals and determination. Yeri is incredibly cute, but I think in about three-four years she could have a transformation like Jiyeon had in her early 20s.
7. Twice's Nayeon
Twice's best Korean makes the list for being incredibly cute and for being one of the funniest members in the group. Once Suzy leaves JYP, expect Nayeon to take her spot. Luckily Nayeon isn't a fat whore.
6. Lovelyz' Jisoo
It took a while for Jisoo to debut because of her scandal, but I can't blame the female antis that made up that rumor. If I identified as a female lesbian, I also would want Jisoo to insert buttplugs in my ass.
5. Twice's Sana
Twice's sexy-cuty goofball could have made the list based on her idol persona alone, but it doesn't hurt one bit that she's incredibly attractive.
4. Twice's Mina
Mina is otherworldly. One could dedicate their whole life writing poems about how we are not worthy to have Mina's presence on this desolate planet.
3. Cosmic Girl's Cheng Xiao
WJSN's Cheng Xiao is the perfect mix of being cute and sexy at the same time. Her meaty thighs could crush any fanboys head in an instant. Her Chun Li impersonation is on point.
2. Twice's Momo
Twice's resident lesbian has eight girls that she wants to turn gay, and I doubt it'll be hard for her at all given how hot she is and how ridiculous her body is. Momo has that athletic body type that I really like.
1. Red Velvet's Irene
Irene is a goddess, it's just that pure and simple. I'm also thankful that Irene doesn't make me so old (we're about the same age) compared to all of the younger girls on the list.
Yeri has probably the most punchable face in K-pop imo.
ReplyDeleteBut otherwise nice list and yeah, Irene is extremely beautiful and hot.
Easy there, Johnny Depp.
DeleteJohnny Depp is more than 20 years older than me. lol
Delete>no Tzuyu
ReplyDeleteTRIGGERED
She still underage
DeleteShe's only 3 months younger than Yeri.
DeleteTzuyu would be #11.

Deletetzuyu FTW
DeleteThis is going to be a fine generation.
ReplyDeleteCLC Yoojin is a qt3.14 but that group's been so poorly promoted i'm not surprised they fly under the radar
ReplyDeletewonder if YG are ever going to do anything this generation, been waiting about 4 years for their new group
Their latest comeback was so disappointing
DeleteWell Kim Jisoo looks hot and the rest of them are okay, I guess.
DeleteThere's something hot about that Yoojin, too bad the group is utter trash.
DeleteNo one from Oh My Girl?! Yooa's face is already iconic, and she's not even my bias in OMG.
ReplyDeleteI was actually expecting Joy or Seulgi to be first instead of Irene, but I'm not complaining.
Top 4 and Nayeon only for me
ReplyDeleteWJSN's Bonar - nuff said
ReplyDeleteSeulgi bear beats Yeri silly any day... Seriously, Yeri?
OMG Yooa - other wordly
OMG Arin - a looker but her thighs are getting too big - gym n diet time
CLC Yujin - too cute for us mortals - her eye smile melts human males
Lovelyz Mijoo - has the looks to be a big CF queen if she plays it right
Lovelyz Yein - another one that could be big - she has the looks
Twice Tzuyu - already a star and will only get bigger
I.O.I. Doyeon - model looks
Gotta put a plug out for Hello Venus's Glow - very solid ballad release and Alice is an underrated hottie....
Nice list. I honestly would have switched out Chaeyeon with Chungha and put Seulgi somewhere on the list. I extremely approve of Sana and Cheng Xiao.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I would figure out how to rank my top new idols. I have many that I like but I can't be like this one is better than this other one. They are all lovely in their different ways. for not-new-gen but maybe an odd intermediate, Hyeyeon is #1 to me because I love her as a person, but all these new idols are just assorted darlings to me.
ReplyDeleteDarlings:
DeleteRed Velvet: All of them. Perfect group. Queens of the new generation.
GFriend: Eunha who is super cute, Sowon who is hilarious. Yuju is objectively the best performer but doesn't hold my attention off stage.
Twice: Jihyo who is a charisma machine perfect idol, Sana who is hyper-pretty and endearing, Mina who is pretty and low-key mysterious/alluring.
CLC: Seungyeon who is super hot and fabulous on stage.
Oh My Girl: Yooa who is iconic and doesn't even seem real like an anime in real life or something, Hyojung who is full of performing talent and charisma and a cuteness in her expressiveness that exceeds her looks.
Sonamoo: Euijin and Sumin are both hot and laid back cool. Would be fun to hang out with.
Lovelyz: Baby Soul, Mijoo, Yein... mostly because they are lookers, because it is so hard to separate Lovelyz. They have a neat whole-group dynamic so it is hard to say one or the other has a stand-out appeal apart from looks. Not to say they are all mediocre, they just all perfectly fit together in one collective appeal.
Minx: Siyeon and Sua stand out to me on stage but the rest seem cool too, I just haven't seen much of them outside of performances.
Cheng Xiao is definitely cute and has some damn fine legs but I don't really know anything about her. Maybe saw 2 performances with her in it. No idea how old she is but she comes off really young to me, but then so did GFriend, CLC, Oh My Girl, and Twice. Not sure if I still have residual cultural perspective with the "Asians look so young" thing until I get to know them better or if kpop just makes them look super young for debut, but it is what it is.
I also may like some idols in these groups when I see them on Weekly Idol or something, but I just can't be arsed to memorize every damn idol or stan all of them equally even if they are cool people. For new groups I usually focus on 2 members for a year or so after a group gets my attention, which may take a year after they debut. Knowing that IOI is a temporary group makes me even less motivated to learn who any of them are, even if some are hot like this Chaeyeon or impressive like Chungha.
Doesn't Bambino rate? They have two songs out, still are the best cover dance group around & their fancam numbers are beyond all of these groups. Their over-sexy approach seems to turn people off, but it needs to be understood as a style not an attempt to be raw. www.bodhispeaks.com They others are changing their dress and approach because of their success, whether they want to admit it or now.
DeleteWJSN-Xuan Yi
ReplyDeleteRed Velvet-Irene
OMG-Binnie
Twice-Mina
Lovelyz-Kei,Sujeong
Gfriend-Yerin
I.O.I-Chaeyeon
I identify as a male lesbian, and I'd let Jisoo to insert whatever she wants up my ass.
ReplyDeletemy top 10 would be
ReplyDeleteRed Velvet Wendy
Twice Mina
Gfriend Eunha

Red Velvet Irene
Twice Momo
Mamamoo Solar

Gfriend Eunha
Twice Sana
Red Velvet Irene
Twice Momo
Mamamoo Solar
Twice Nayeon
Red Velvet Yeri
Twice Tzuyu
GFriend: Sowon (hilarious)
ReplyDeleteCLC: Sorn (I like her voice)
Red Velvet: Wendy (She's the only member I can consistently recognize)
WJSN: Cheng Xiao (adorable)/Exy (I actually enjoy her raps)
DIA: Cathy (surprised she isn't more popular, she's pretty and can rap decently well)
I.O.I: Idgaf again I like them all, but from everyone who ISN'T Somi, the one who has really been impressing me is Yoojung (Dream Girls was pretty meh, but her rap had good flow)
Twice: Idgaf I like them all, but from one out of the three trinities (Vocal Trinity [Jihyo, Jungyeon, Nayeon], J-Trinity [Mina, Sana, Momo], and Jailbait Trinity [Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu]) I'd choose Jihyo, Momo, and Dahyun, though the others have their moments
Dahyun just turned 18 yesterday haha.
DeleteDamn, I'll have to think of a new name for those 3
DeleteI don't really know a lot about these new groups but obviously many Twice members would be on my top ten. At least Mina, Sana, and my adorable and uber pretty Taiwan independence icon Tzuyu.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese trio huh? Kind of makes you think if they joined kpop not because they like kpop but because there is no place for them ib Japan except as dancing robots
ReplyDeleteMy top 10:
ReplyDelete1-10.) Goddess Moonbyul - Very obviously lesbian, girl crush, and the least obnoxious member of Mamamoo. I went lesbian specifically for her.
