My K-Pop Role Models

안녕 KA Family!

∼✧✩✧∼

Today I want to talk about some people that are super super special to me. Every one has a role model, whether you realize it or not there's someone that you look up to that you aspire to be like. Even our role models have role models, and that's so amazing. In K-Pop, there's literally so so many amazing people. From artists, dancers, composers, vocalists, actors, you name it.

∼✧✩✧∼

Today I want to talk about korean artists/dancers/composers that inspire me so much. These people are so close to my heart, you have no idea. They make me happy, the sight of them can put the biggest smile on my face and fill my heart with such pride. I couldn't be prouder of these people, and I absolutely couldn't love them more. Some are biases/UBs, and some are of groups that I love that really inspire me. I would love to share these people with you ^-^

They Are Not Listed In Any Particular Order

Taeyeon

Girls' Generation ~ Solo Artist

♡

Real Name: Kim Tae-Yeon

Birthday: March 9, 1989

Position: (Girls' Generation) Leader and Main Vocalist

Training Period: 3 Years 3 Months

♡

I. Love. This. Woman. She's my ultimate female bias and she's absolutely amazing in so many ways. She's beautiful, she's so talented, and she's such a sweet person. She has the personality of an angel, and she just looks doll-like. She's the cutest thing as she's even excited just to get in a mini toy car and park it, it's too cute. In Girls' Generation (SNSD) she always watched over her girls and it's amazing. Although she's a cute sweetheart, she can act mature around her girls at times and I'm sure they look up to her.

♡

Let me just say, this queen eats her CD's, in fact she has a title for it as she always sounds just like her CD's when performing live. Yes, there are compilations for her "singing fails", but there's a reason she has fails. She doesn't want to lip sync. One performance, she was sick and you could hear it in her voice, and she couldn't hit a really hard note so she hit it in a higher tone so she wouldn't have to put as much power into it. She wants to be genuine with her fans, and that means so much. I love her singing fails, cause that means we're getting something genuine and real, no one can be perfect every single time. She's perfectly imperfect.

♡

Currently she's working on a cookie baking charity and it's even on her Snapchat story as she's so excited about it, she genuinely has a heart of gold. You can tell she didn't just do this charity for her image, she did it because it was genuine. She's gone through hard times, many actually, yet she smiles like an actual princess. In 2015, she made her solo debut with her song/album "I". This is one of the most beautiful songs in the world to me, it's inspiring and powerful. Her vocals are so beautiful and sweet, but they're also very strong and that's something amazing about her singing. The song is about those hard times you have and finding yourself, doing what's good for you and following your goals and dreams.

Vernon

Seventeen

♡

Real Name: Hansol Vernon Choi

February 18, 1998

Position: Main Rapper

Training Period: 3 Years 3 Months

♡

I have 2 ultimate biases for a very specific reason. This boy. He's something that's very special to my heart, therefore I could never degrade him from my bias list as my ultimate bias, so he's basically pinned onto my list. Hansol is so amazing in many ways. He's such a softy, he works so hard, he has just so much love in him and he's so inspiring. He's a bit of a goofball, and he has a contagious smile. He works so hard and I love it.

♡

Vernon has a little sister that he loves so much, he always looks out for her and buys her gifts. Before debut he said he wants to work extra hard just so his little sister could brag to her friends about his success. I love that. He's so sweet to fans, in fact, let me tell you a story. A fan was at a Seventeen g and she was with Vernon at the time, she saw on his hand that it was covered completely with black ink. She asked what it was and he told her that it's the fan's names so he could learn to them. Another fan walked by and he recognized her and called out her name. She asked him how he ed and he showed her his hand. That's one of the most beautiful things, as I've never seen anyone genuinely care that much about the significance it is to a fan to meet them and the feeling of them recognizing you. Vernon truly loves and cares for us Carats.

♡

This boy inspires me so much because before debut, he had a very cringy moment lol. He went on the show "Show Me The Money 4" which is a rapping show. Let's just say.. this boy flunked lol but we love it. As this isn't exactly a show with the nicest environment, he was attacked by the other contestants as they all wanted to rap battle against him, literally every single one because they knew/thought they could win. Hansol was told straight to his face that he wasn't a good rapper, that he doesn't have what it takes to.. well.. to literally be where he is now. He did it. And he's amazing.

J-Hope

BTS

♡

Real Name: Jung Ho Seok

Birthday: February 18, 1994

Position: Main Rapper

Training Period: 3 Years

♡

J-Hope is such an amazing person.. I can't express it enough. There are so many wonderful things about him that unfortunately many people don't see, not even some ARMY . His nickname is Sunshine for a reason, he literally is just a beam of light. He works so hard and he's so under appreciated for that, it literally hurts.

♡

Hobi has a personality you can't help but love, I have no idea how literally anyone could dislike it. He's so bubbly and he always makes the laugh. He's so energetic and adorable he's just such a squish I love it. He has a smile that will just brighten up your heart, and he wears it about 98% of the time. That 2% goes to the hate he receives about his looks, which I don't understand why that even exists as he's adorable. There's a hashtag to kick him out of BTS and it's absolutely awful, why would anyone even want that, why does someone put their time into something that will effect them negatively? If they are a fan, they'll notice the difference in the group if Hope ever leaves. The biggest difference in the world.

♡

He absolutely loves what he does. In the gif I used for him, you can see the tired of BTS behind him breathing heavily after finishing a performance. Hope is panting too, but he can't help but look around and smile as he's rained in confetti. He loves to dance, he loves to perform, and he can't help but just smile as he does it. Him and 2 other BTS stay after regular practice hours until 1am to work on their dancing. That is such dedication it's simply amazing. I love it and I love him. How dare anyone hate him.

Jungkook

BTS

♡

Real Name: Jeon Jung-guk

Birthday: September 1, 1997

Position: Maknae & Vocalist (Rap As Well)

Training Period: 3 Years

♡

when I said I have two ultimate biases and I explained why? Well let me introduce my other ultimate bias, Kookie. I love this child for a list of reasons, he is both loved and hated. Sometimes I feel basic saying that he's my bias of BTS/UB, because many people stan him. What makes me feel better about it is knowing that I love him for so many reasons and I love him for him, as many people stan him for his looks (some being people that don't really follow BTS or know all the faces). I love him for his little adorable, loving self.

♡

Jungkook receives hate because he gets a good amount of the spotlight. He never asks for any spotlight or a solo performance, and he never asks for the amount of attention he receives or where he stands in choreography. None of the do. Another reason he's receiving criticism is because in a recent performance you could see his acne, despite his makeup. I love his acne. He's a 19 year old, a teenager, that has stress on him and over works himself, why would you ever hate on a 19 year old for having acne?! So many people have it, especially teenagers. Why would anyone receive hate for having his talent be recognized more when not asked, and for being a human being? Yet, Kookie can still smile.

♡

Despite the negativity, Kookie is such an amazing person. when I said J-Hope stays in the studio until 1am with two other people? Well Kookie is one of those two other people, the other being Jimin. He works so hard as he wants to always have an amazing performance, as he knows the spotlight is put on him and he doesn't want to let ARMY down. He loves what he does and I'm so proud of him. He's so cute and quirky, he does the most adorable things. I love his style and his personality, his singing is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in my life. To show his weirdness, I shall add this video. When he falls, I literally loose it every time and that's when the video gets really good ^-^

♡

Jungkookie is such a Golden Maknae as he loves and cares for his hyungs so much. Once, he broke down crying harder than any of the have ever seen him cry. When asked what was wrong, he explained that he knows his hyungs will have times when they cry on their own or they feel upset and that there will be times when he can't be there for them, and the thought of that makes him so sad. He has such an emotional connection with them as they've basically raised him. Even though he loves them so much, he can still troll them lol, he's basically their little brother. He even has a solo song dedicated to his hyungs, saying how when they cry he cries too, and that they helped him find who he was. Yes, he did say RM wrote this song as he's thanked him for it on VLive. Yet, the song's meaning was all Jungkook's intention for the song to be, this is what he wanted his song to be written about. RM just helped him put his love into words.

Thanks For Reading!

As there are other people I look up to in K-Pop, I simply listed my top 4 who I constantly look into and love with my full heart. Those 4 people have such a special place in my heart, they inspire me to become the person I want to become and more. As maybe a member or two may not make sense to some people to be a role model, know that for me they do mean something special, even for reasons I may not have listed as it would be too long. I encourage more people to list their K-Pop role models as it's very interesting to see who other people are inspired by ^-^ yes, my main 4 may have from groups expected from me, or two from the same one, but it's the individual that means something.

∼✧✩✧∼

I Hope You Enjoyed!
