Among fourth-generation idols, the hottest girl group "centers" like aespa Karina, ITZY Yuna, and more were chosen!

Read on to see the full list.

On March 21, the Korean media outlet Hankook Ilbo featured the TOP 4 fourth-generation girl group's "centers" who took the K-pop industry by storm upon their debut.

In particular, "Center" in K-pop is a position given to a certain member who receives the most attention and publicity from fans and their agency.

True to its name, idols who are assigned to the position are seen at the center of the group's formation. Often, they are given more lines from their songs, the "killer part" or more exposure among members.

However, these advantages also come with a huge responsibility of being the "face of the group" as they have to be careful of their presence to maintain the group's image.

aespa Karina, ITZY Yuna Rose Into Popularity For Boast 'Born-to-be Center' Visuals

Hankook Ilbo selected aespa Karina as one of the best girl group "centers."

In 2020, the 00-line star was introduced through the group's debut song, "Black Mamba."

Reporter Hyemin Hong praised Karina's visual, saying:

" It was Karina's unrealistic visuals as the center that caught the eye of people. Her clear and cat-like features, on top of her perfect proportions, have driven her popularity among fans regardless of gender or age."

As aespa's "center," Karina is not only a beauty but an all-rounder as well. Despite being the main dancer, the "Savage" singer also boasts heavenly vocals, proving SM Entertainment image as K-pop's vocal powerhouse.

Along with Karina, ITZY Yuna is also one of the representative girl group "centers" in the fourth generation.

"Yuna, a member of ITZY, who is expanding her position in the global market as a representative idol of the fourth generation, is also an irrefutable visual center."

Yuna in the center also balances ITZY's color with her innocent beauty and strong and healthy body.

Trailing behind Karina and Yuna are rookie idols IVE Wonyoung and NMIXX Sullyoon. In particular, the two drew comparisons as 04-line idols with stunning visuals.

Jang Wonyoung, who appeared in the music industry as the center of IZ*ONE, ranked first after the fierce competition on Mnet's "Produce 48" in 2019.

Despite being a middle school student during IZ*ONE activities, Jang Wonyoung's presence, praised for her height, proportion, and lovely visuals, remains unchanged even after her re-debut as IVE.

During her re-debut in December 2021, she gained more fame for her upgraded visuals, her height of over 170cm and proportion although she's only 17 years old.

Just then, she gained the modifier, "It Girl," and proved her impact in the music scene as visual center.

Lastly, Sullyoon of NMIXX was named as one of the best "centers" of the fourth generation girl group as well.

Sullyoon, who was introduced in February 2022, immediately went viral for her unrivaled visuals. She was praised for her features passing Korean beauty standards: small face, lips and nose, long neck as well as doll-like eyes.

On top of that, she's also lauded for her singing and dance skills. People are convinced that the "rising star" will follow in the footsteps of "Nation's Center" Yoona of Girls' Generation.
