Why is Jimin the It Boy of Korea?

When we talk about the It boys of K-Pop, the first reference is JIM from BTS. However, why him? Because Jimin was named the first It Boy.

Although it is an American terminology, ARMY and Korean users gave him this title because they began to notice his influence on social networks and worldwide popularity inside and outside of Korea. Its meaning lies in recognizing “that boy.” Not just for being part of BTS.

It’s also because Jimin has created a unique ‘effect’, like being recognized for his dress style, beauty, and dancing. Even what he wears out once fans or the general public recognize him.

But Jimin is not the only It boy in K-Pop, even if he is the first to bear the title. Before mentioning the It boys of the fourth generation, it is first necessary to know what the fourth generation is. We all know that today’s K-Pop is starring artists from different generations of K-Pop. But for a few years, we can talk about a fourth. Generations change when the concept changes slightly. There is also more presence of solo artists, new musical styles, and more internationalization with global debuts and other activities worldwide.

Also, his facial expressions and his charisma stand out on stage. It’s no wonder he’s the most in-demand member of The Boyz, even landing his first solo editorial for DAZED magazine.

Juyeon has been a presenter on The Show and has walked the runway at Seoul Fashion Week for SUPERCOMMA’s winter 2017 collection. Fashion is the next territory for Juyeon to conquer.

Third, on the It boys of K-Pop list is Stray Kids’ Hyunjin! This group is, together with TXT, the most influential boy group of the fourth generation.

They demonstrated both their power and that of their fans by being crowned winners of the famous MNET Kingdom show. And Hyunjin is, without a doubt, the face of the group. His fancams, videos, and even photos have gone viral in the K-pop community. His long hair is already iconic. But he is much more than a pretty face.

His charisma on stage and his facial expressions coupled with his talent are enough to leave us speechless. He also won us over with the sweeter and nicer side as the host of Music Core.
