▶ Outstanding looks, the face of the group… Flower idols
In every team there is the ‘flower idol’. These people are the characters who will help the group increase their popularity through the early stages of their debut due to their outstanding looks.

▶ Power sexy and charisma… Beasty idolsYou cannot miss out the members who are proud of their sexiness and charisma, or we call them the ‘beasty idols’.

Some examples are 2PM JaeBum, Dong Bang Shin Ki UKnow Yunho, Big Bang TOP for boybands.

For girlgroups, there are also ‘beasty idols’, for instance there are So Nyeo Shi Dae HyoYeon, 4Minute HyunA etc.


▶ Talents over looks… Artsy idolsThere are also members who may not be as outstanding in terms of looks as compared to the other members in the group but are as talented as or even more talented than anyone for their vocals.

We call them the ‘artsy idol’, and our representative idol members are G.O.D Kim TaeWoo and Fin.K.L Ok JooHyun.

For our younger idols there are 2AM ChangMin, SS501 Heo YoungSaeng, Big Bang DaeSung, Dong Bang Shin Ki JunSu etc.

These members are the voices of the group and are as important as the ‘flower idols’ because they deliver good performances on stages.
