When THESE idols debuted, they were practically loved by the WHOLE NATION, capturing the hearts of both male and female fans of all ages!
In K-pop, idols create a certain image to capture the attention of a specific market that they want to target. Girl groups with "girl crush" and "badass" aura are often liked by female fans, while male fans normally like female idols with innocent and pure images.
But the listed-below female stars are loved by both male and female fans — regardless of their concept and image!
What could be the reasons? In online communities, fans weighed in.
Here Are 3 Female Idols Loved by Male & Female Fans Since Debut
1. Girls' Generation Taeyeon
Since Taeyeon debuted in 2007, she rose as one of the most popular Girls' Generation members loved by all genders and ages.
In an online community, fans attested to this. Long-time SONEs stated that when they attended a concert of Taeyeon, there was an overwhelming number of both male and female supporters.
She is loved not only for her singing and radio-hosting skills but also for her "little sister-like" visuals.
- "I have liked her since I was an elementary school student and she was so cute back then."
- "Taengoo is still very respectable."
- "Taeyeon is a fxcking legend."
- "Kim Taeyeon is an eternal idol."
- "Taeyeon's radio performance seems to be a godsend, but her charm is basic, hosting, and skits are all crazy."
- "There is no way to beat Taengoo."
- "Baby Taengoo. Kim Taengoo has been with me for more than half of my life. I'll be her eternal fan until I really enter the coffin."
2. Bae Suzy
When Suzy debuted as Miss A in 2010, she made a mess of both women's and men's online communities and cafés due to her unrivaled visuals.
Known for her legendary beauty, her popularity grew after she starred in the hit movie "Architecture 101" where she earned her the nickname "Nation's First Love."
- "I still remember, when Suzy's debut music video came out, the school was really turned upside down. During break time, I just watch the "Bad Girl, Good Girl" MV on TV."
- "Suzy's visuals were so shocking back then."
- "When Suzy debuted, people didn't talk about sports at a soccer café, all they talked about was Suzy."
- "When Suzy debuted, I quit all kinds of media because I was retaking my exams, but they were so popular I only knew Miss A and Suzy."
- "Even my male relatives like Suzy and Taeyeon because they were so pretty."
3. Ahn Sohee
The youngest of Wonder Girls Sohee was also loved since her debut in 2007 by the whole nation!
At the time, she boasted monolids, chubby cheeks, and cuteness that captured the hearts of both male and female fans. She was also given the moniker "Nation's Little Sister" and "Legendary" for her irrefutable popularity.
- "Ahn Sohee, I'll never get tired of her memes."
- "My first love, Ahn Sohee."
- "Mandu Sohee."
- "Sohee looked the prettiest in middle school."
- "Sohee has a baby face, long legs and arms and is skinny, so she's always on the 'best' posts in cafés. Even now, when I see her, I'm so..."
- "Sohee's 'Tell Me' Syndrome was an all-time high."
- "Omona, Sohee."
