The Most Feminine Guys in KPOP - The Top 11

KPop... Korean Pop Music.

A section of the entertainment industry that can be proud to have pretty girls, good-looking guys, phenomenal singers, incredible music and accompanying dance moves...and more than their fair share of feminine men. Or do I mean androgynous here?
Because, it's not about how you look. It's the way you act. All the way from having feminine features, through dancing sluttily to girl group songs, and finally over to cross-dressing. And even to a few brave men who are comfortable enough with their sexuality to smooch a few friends of the same gender....
It was hard having to pick just 10 so after many crossing-outs & short-listing, some done with a very heavy heart (Jeong Hyun Min!!!)...
But an NB here: I have not included the men who simply look best cross-dressed because even the manliest of men can be put to shame by a skillful makeup artist and a few well-designed garments...

Soo...my list includes the girly-looking guys (and I mean, to the extent that people truly can't guess the gender of the individual) and the guys who take pleasure acting girly (to the extent of cross-dressing, at times) or are simply born that way.

The list is in no specific order but obviously, there are a few standouts as well *cough* Heechul *cough* Kevin *cough*

○ G-Dragon


Leader of Big Bang. He's actually not thaat girly, but can be considered more of a hyperactive child. But being the self-proclaimed fashionista of the group does carry a burden. He has to constantly come up with a unique look that sometimes, unfortunately, turn out to be more womanly than he'd expect. I blame this on his various hairstyles (Eg:-http://21bangs.com/stylish/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gdragon_taeyang.jpg (GD on the LEFT) & https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcXazY2SegwnlVPAzxc0WfCodBjbapzggE5TLFiFdUYTsPviisu4nR3Aj8zWK4fugubQ5QPprTD3RWobvOfLAiZ6XmTXGyHCDmQL2jCRaKWnbzqUKg7cKktXKupFaCrmPlod0IB9l_lCo4/s400/G-dragon.jpg
But despite all his weird outfits, what really landed him in this list, is his love of cross-dressing. I did mention earlier that I wouldn't be including people just for the sake of that fact, but GD is an exception. Because he is not just beautiful, considering he's a guy. He's bloody smokin' hot even if you thought he was a girl (like I was) or if you knew it was a man in drag (as I am now).
Plus, he has shared more than a few kisses with his fellow member, Mr Manly, T.O.P
I REST MY CASE



○ Jaejoong


Sigh...what would this list be without the most famous man in KPop... Kim Jaejoong from DBSK/JYJ.
Known for his extraordinary vocal prowess and out-of-this-world good looks, he has been voted as the hottest/sexiest guy in KPop more than once. He doesn't cross-dress or kiss other men (with the exception of his leader, Yunho, but then I don't blame either one of them for this...) but he definitely fits the criteria of feminine men simply because, sometimes people can't tell the difference.
Jaejoong has this unearthly beauty to him; his looks are extra-terrestrial, almost. People say it's the excessive plastic surgery but I think it's more. This man is beautiful, inside and out. He seems cold, unapproachable almost, at first glance but then as you get to know him better, he's warm, friendly and extremely nutty. Despite being the oldest in DBSK/JYJ, he's still the one who goes hopping from room to room, evilly laughing while pulling out the contents of his fellow members' travel bags. He's also the first to giggle sweetly in the midst of a steaming hot performance.
Lovable, gorgeous and talented. Who could hate him?
You know you're in KPop-world when it's the absolutely best-looking guys, over who fans die, that have the most amazing personalities...



Jung Heechul


Why is it that both the Heechuls I know have made it here?
Jung Heechul, member of ZE:A.
He's quite a mischievous character (his only flaws being his irrational liking of Jessica and his tendency to be mean to Hyunshik, my love) who loves dancing to girl group songs, like Nu ABO, Oh!, Hoot...
He's got quite a feminine attitude but not particularly girly, guess it could be called tomboyish... Which is a weird thing to call an actual man,
PROOF:

Alexander Eusebio


The oldest member of U KISS is the second girliest in the entire group. That would be acceptable IF HE WASN'T TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OLD! He acts like a 7 year old girl though. Like Eli said, it's probably embarrassing to be seen with him because he'd be all "Oh, look, Bread!" *snort* *giggle* *snort*
He talks like he walked out of a Disney movie... "Ewwww, my butt!" "If I was a girl and going out with Heechul-hyung, I'd have so much FUUUUN"
I exaggerate not.
But he's lovely... He's genuine, loud, funny and hyper. U KISS isn't U KISS without Sandeo from Xanderland...
Alexander being Alexander, with Eli & Kevin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zalpS0cz5n0



Kim Heechul


Ah. My Heenim... Heedictator. Cinderella...
He is truly the King (or should I say Queen?) of this list. But people usually misunderstand my princess... But anyways, on to why he IS on this list.
Because no one is as brave as he is in walking the line between male and female.

- No one cross-dresses better than him:

- I haven't seen girls prettier than him yet:

- He is not afraid to kiss his male friends when asked to by his entertainment company [PS - DO NOT VIEW IF YOU ARE A HOMOPHOBE]:

Anyways, he is the king of the gender benders BUUUUT there is a shocking twist!
When he is not acting/dancing/cross-dressing, Kim Heechul is probably one of the manliest guys in the industry!! He's the one with the sharpest tongue and if anyone dares to tell him off, he's probably beat him up...

There's enough & more to write about my Heenim because I'm a Petal but then I had another blog-post about him and this is okay for now...

Heechul:



Lee Sungmin



Sungmin-ah!
King of cuteness in Super Junior and, as he says "I am rather adorable, I suppose"
He's more like a little girl/mother mix. He's very caring about his bandmates, to the point that it gets a bit weird sometimes. He's very - VERY - feminine - has a sweet voice, dances very smoothly & is the most flexible in Super Junior. He's obsessed about the colour pink and apparently even wears pink undies (which is not saying much because even LEE DONGHAE does)... But people say the girlishness is just an act, which is believable. He does have a rather manly side to him, for instance, when they played a prank on him using a 'girl in distress' he shouted at the other two girls that she didn't want to go with them...
He has made out with Heechul (at the initiation of the latter) & carried out the mouth-to-mouth underwater air exchange with Eunhyuk with ease. But he said the latter was done with the thought that if he didn't, his best friend would die in mind.
But this list totally can't do without the Pumpkin Prince...
EVIDENCE:



Hwang Kwanghee


The face of ZE:A, he has stated that his idol is Jo Kwon, which explains a lot of the things he does... Loud-mouthed, shameless & eager as a beaver to dance to girl group songs, Kwanghee really is as feminine as they come. The mixture of his deep voice, sweet smile & wonky dance moves make him one endearing guy. But even he should try and stem the snarks that spill out of his mouth sometimes...



Lee Taemin


Taemin is frequently mistaken for a girl due to his pretty face, shyness to speak up, long hair & skinny figure (https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-Ug7dxw7t6J6Hro5Aw5Gpeo5ZAItHxfZLN0vsPI1XmWKsjaqmxW9w_TGlmEKM_cxLzukt8hfbsUFzqcgULJQNE5EdYY8j0Qy7jN_itjmwBE_jnXwqWlMhr8NM9ghsIp5tcp2KwHO8PfS/s1600/taemin+11.jpg). But when he is being serious and/or dancing, no one can ever commit the felony of calling him feminine. Pretty he might be but in true KPop fashion, this guy is capable of transforming into one sexy dancer when he needs to. But when he's not dancing or acting, but simply hanging out with his fellow SHINee members, he's very childish & displays child-like innocence which is rarely seen even in children. But Taemin is a mixture of awkwardness, smartness & kind-heartedness.
One of the prettiest guys, cross-dressed, which is totally understandable because he is supposed to look like Heechul sometimes...

Key (Kim Kibum)



Kim Kibum of SHINee. Almighty Key. The All-Time Diva. Who'd throw his coffee in someone's face if it was served cold.
He's so prissy and totally the King (or do I mean Queen) of girl group dancing. While Jo Kwon is the master of mockery, Key is truly the master of duplication. His Abracadabra & Mister versions are sooo much better than the girls' dances. Maybe because he isn't afraid of shaking his booty - and he's got an amazing one... He's so fussy about his appearance & is a camera whore who can spot the correct camera from a mile away, while the others look from lens to lens, confused.



Kevin Woo

Kevin from UKISS...
Lovely, lovely Kevin. As friendly & nice as it is possible to be. But Kevin Woo is creepy. Because he is one of the most feminine guys out there. Even a gay guy wouldn't be as girly as him.
Scared to death of bugs, isn't afraid to dirty dance - alone, or even with other guys - & looks scandalized when his fellow members admitted to watching porn. Whose legs are so slender that when his fellow members see them, they look up expecting to see a hot girl but no, it's Kevin. He appeared on a variety show dressed as a girl and no one could tell the difference until he spoke. He has a bubbly, masculine voice that he didn't even try to disguise. Guess he didn't want to be put to shame by no one recognizing him at all. He out-danced Jessica from SNSD to her own song...
I made this list with this guy especially in mind.

Mr Jo Kwon... Where does one start? The Master - the ultimate MASTER - of Ssanti (cheap) dancing. He's called Kkab Kwon, derived from "kkab chi neun" which means being so energetic to the point of being annoying. It can also mean overdoing & overreacting.
Which describes him perfectly. When he's not in the spotlight, Jo Kwon is silent, polite, sweet, blah blah (boring). But when he IS in the spotlight, his personality literally explodes out - whether he's having a dance-off with Key to Beyonce's Sweet Dreams or simply dancing to a girl group song, Jo Kwon is able to embarrass whoever came up with the original dance moves.
I won't comment on his cross-dressing because it actually doesn't suit him much. Because of his ripped body. He didn't audition for 2PM for nothing... He's also allegedly dating Ga In, who is one of the sexiest women in KPop. But he is very pleasant, has the voice of an angel & is a responsible leader of 2AM. But this list was made for someone like Jo Kwon, with his 'Dirty Eyed Girls" parody of 'Abracadabra' by "Brown Eyed Girls" his girlfriend's band.
When Jo Kwon takes the stage, you know it's going to be good...



Im Siwan

In music videos or when he's performing their own songs onstage with ZE:A, he's very macho. Well, as macho as a pretty boy can be...which is not that much. But when he changes into sweatpants & hoodies, his personality also takes a twist.
While not doing outrageously scandalous things, the dignified posture along with the pointed looks from the self-proclaimed fashionista of the group leave one second-guessing Im Siwan's sexuality.
