Welcome to another K-Pop related article! If you aren't K-Pop trash like I am, you probably don't know what a visual is. A visual in a K-Pop group is considered the most beautiful or attractive member in a K-Pop group, usually according to Korean beauty standards.
Because of these different standards, I thought that different members of groups were actually the visual, which is no surprise since all of the members in K-Pop groups look like Greek gods. Here are 10 K-Pop visuals and members who I initially thought were the visuals. Maybe you thought the same thing.
1. Yoona and Tiffany (Girls' Generation)

Yoona is so known for her beauty, she's pretty much the face of South Korea. Like, seriously. When I was in Korea, I saw her in so many advertisements. But I think my girl Tiffany is slept on. I think she's so beautiful and she has the bright personality to match her stunning visuals. I also think Sooyoung is so beautiful and under-appreciated, but now I'm just getting carried away.
2. T.O.P and Seungri (BIGBANG)

T.O.P may have a bad boy look, but I thought Seungri was the visual of BIGBANG because of his cute but manly looks.
3. SinB and Sowon (GFriend)

Okay, Sowon is an actual GODDESS. I have multiple pictures of her saved on my phone because her beauty makes me want to cry (in a good way.) SinB is very pretty and often known for her resemblance to Girls' Generation's Jessica. But Sowon, sweet Sowon, with her cute cheeks and shining eyes, makes my heart melt. You may understand why I thought she was the visual.
4. Jin and Jimin (BTS)

Ugh, this one was pretty hard because I fell for Jungkook when I watched my first BTS music video, but I also appreciate V's elegant visuals, but I also personally find Suga the most attractive because of his cute but slightly scary appearance. So I've settled on deciding that I thought Jimin was the visual because of the model-like aura he has in photoshoots but boyfriend-worthy adorable and squishy face. Jin is the world's pretty boy, but the other members have been growing up and GLOWING UP in the last few years.
5. Tzuyu and Sana (Twice)

Okay, so I acknowledge that Tzuyu is the visual of Twice and a great visual at that, but the way my heart flutters whenever I see Sana dancing or singing or acting cute or just being herself should not be ignored. Sana's cute but sexy stage presence coupled with her good looks made me thought she was the visual. I think she's one of the most hard-working, naturally adorable and charismatic K-Pop idols out there. Her visuals bring tears to my unworthy eyes. (Momo is also so pretty and Jihyo has me WHIPPED.)
6. Taeyong and Jaehyun (NCT)

Alright, let's talk about NCT. There are like... 18 members in this supergroup and they are planning on adding three more! That's too many beautiful men to choose from. Even though NCT's Ten makes me grin wildly, watch countless videos about him on YouTube and save beautiful pictures of him to my phone, I'll admit that I thought Jaehyun was the visual. Taeyong has a strong visual that contrasts with his soft, lovable personality. But Jaehyun... wow. I don't know what it is about him. I think I got into NCT because I was so shook by how beautiful Jaehyun was in a dance practice video that I kept watching the video. Then I fell in love with the song and the band. That, my friends, is the true power of a K-Pop visual (or fake visual.)
7. Yura and Sojin (Girl's Day)

All of the members of Girl's Day are beauty queens! But I thought Sojin was the visual instead of Yura. I just personally love Sojin's soft look and cute and varying facial expressions. The GUCCI BAGS under her eyes also make me swoon. All hail queen Sojin.
8. Mingyu and Vernon (Seventeen)

Again, another group with many people. I still can't identify all of the Seventeen members by name. But Vernon has a really recognizable face, which is why I thought that he was the visual. Woozi is also easy to recognize and that cutie pie is my personal bias. This post is about Mingyu and Vernon... but Woozi... that beautiful man-boy... he needs to be my husband. That is all.
9. Naeun and Hayoung (Apink)

Naeun from Apink is known for her innocent visual. You might even know her from Psy's "New Face" music video. But Hayoung has this soft but mature beauty that I find so enchanting. Hayoung is also the youngest member of Apink! I also think Eunji is super pretty and people don't acknowledge her looks as much, but I'm here to appreciate her.
10. Siwon and Donghae (Super Junior)

Siwon is a HOT DAD who's not actually a dad... as far as we know. But I find Donghae so handsome. I think one of the jobs of a visual is to draw in their audience, and whenever Donghae looks into a camera during music shows, I am sold. Because of that twinkling look in his eye (that was obviously aimed towards me), I will support Super Junior, buy their merch, go to their concerts, watch their variety shows and spread Super Junior love to everyone I meet. The power of the visual is strong with this one.
