Many fans love K-Pop for the large number of groups and members within them. However, there are some groups that had soloists emerge from them and really found success in doing just that! Check out some idols who impressed us with their solo projects below.
f(x) Amber
Amber of f(x) branched away to show us a more personal, artistic side of not only herself but also her music.
SHINee Taemin
SHINee's Taemin showed us an unexpected side as he got suave and sexual in his MV for "Drip Drop."
Girl's Day Minah
Minah was a solo success with her sentimental hit "I Am A Woman, Too." She really shined with her strong vocals and R&B influenced track. Her mini-album also features familiar sounds.
Block B Zico
Zico, in a sad technical way, casted Block B to the side in order to succeed in his solo career. Honestly, fans aren't looking back and just anticipate all of his stellar releases!
Miss A Fei
Miss A's Fei got a chance to appeal to audiences with a more adult, sexy concept. Her song, dance routine, and style were both powerful and eye-catching.
Super Junior's Yesung
The handsome member of Super Junior, Yesung, shows us his sweet and charming side through his dreamy ballad "Here I Am."
SISTAR Hyorin
SISTAR Hyorin was so successful in her solo activities that she even decided to leave her former girl group SISTAR in order to pursue her own wishes.
Big Bang Taeyang
Taeyang was clearly a diamond in the rough as his talent was a bit overshadowed in his group Big Bang. Once he broke free, Taeyang made hit after hit with songs like "Wedding Dress" and the famous "Eyes, Nose, Lips."
2NE1 Park Bom
Park Bom always had a voice that stood out among the crowd. Giving her a solo was the right thing to do as she proved she could continue impressing us all with her amazing vocals.

Highlight Yoseob
Highlight's Yoseob really shined and showed us all his powerful vocals through his song "Caffeine." Like Yoseob himself, it is catchy, smooth and refreshing.
Brown Eyed Girls Ga In
Ga In made everyone's jaws drop once she became the drop dead sexy solist we all know her for today! "Paradise Lost" is just one of her many hot topic songs.
JYJ Junsu
JYJ's Junsu got extremely creative during his solo act. "Flower" was one of his many emotional releases that showcases his beautiful nature and natural vocals.

"Bubble Pop" was the starting point that made this singer pop from the group. Once she started showing us how well she could bubble pop, the rest was history for this successful and sexy artist.
