In the Kpop world, there are some idols who are often under pressure because they are
criticized for having beauty but no talent from the first days of their debut.
Here are 6 of these idols who have been often labeled "Blank Paper Beauty" by the netizens.
1.
Tzuyu (TWICE)
The first case mentioned is TWICE's maknae - Tzuyu.
Her gorgeous beauty helps Tzuyu go viral many times.
However, many people thought it was absurd that Tzuyu could beat countless talented opponents
in "Sixteen" with just her looks and became the most popular name in TWICE.
After that, the public still did not see any potential in Tzuyu in a long time, they were
really skeptical about her talent and even severely criticized her.
This is said to be reasonable because the public has always noticed that Tzuyu is one
of the members having the least vocal lines in the group.
Moreover, Tzuyu also seems to be the quietest member of the group in many events or reality
shows.
This makes many people think that she is really there just to “decorate” TWICE.
The hate toward Tzuyu is so big that some netizens even went on Twitter to talk bad
about her, saying that she can’t sing at all and she’d better go back to Taiwan and
the reason why JYP doesn’t give her any solo project is that she’s so talentless.
However, many people still forget that Tzuyu is one of TWICE's lead dancers and many ONCEs
have pointed out that she shows a lot of effort and energy when performing on stage.
Tzuyu is also one of the lead vocalists and some have noted how she has improved with
every comeback stage.
2.
Jisoo (Blackpink)
Jisoo has a gorgeous look that can make people feel feverish every time she goes on stage.
However, Jisoo’s stunning face is also the reason that make her often labeled as the
“talentless visual” by antis and some Korean netizens.
Thus, her talent and skills often become a controversial topic among Knets.
While the other members of BLACKPINK all have their solo music products, Jisoo hasn’t
had any solo projects and netizens believe the reason for that is her limited musical
ability.
Not only was she criticized for her voice, but Jisoo was also bashed on countless forums
all the time for her alleged poor dancing skills.
Recently, she became a topic of discussion on a Kpop forum, about her rather strange
dancing moves.
Netizens cut the moments when Jisoo performed and compared them to other members, it seems
that her dancing is kinda stiff and uncomfortable.
In addition, the fact that Jisoo cannot communicate in English properly like the other 3 members
and often keeps silent during international interviews also ignites the dissatisfaction
in netizens.
Many people also think that compared to other members of the group, Jisoo is the one who
doesn’t resemble the girlcrush style and also doesn’t fit the concept of BLACKPINK
because she gives off a rather gentle vibe.
In terms of acting skills, while fans believe Jisoo is born to be an actress, others don’t
think so.
Jisoo's performance in her first drama SnowDrop is also said to be unsuccessful because it
didn’t meet the audience’s expectations.
You can see a lot of negative comments from K-netizens about her weak acting, expression
and pronunciation.
However, lots of people considered that calling Jisoo “talentless” is totally absurd and
mean because in terms of music, her vocals are said to be the most stable in the group.
She also has a unique husky voice that gives off a jazzy feeling.
In terms of dancing, Jisoo maybe less flexible than Lisa, Rosé and Jennie, but she’s still
a good dancer compared to many other idols and can do the choreography neatly.
3.
Jin (BTS)
Jin is always famous with his nickname “Worldwide Handsome" because of his perfect visuals.
He is also responsible for visual position in the group.
However, his outstanding appearance somehow became Jin's limitation.
For many years, Jin is dubbed as a "blank paper beauty" who has no talents.
Especially in the early years of debut, netizens did not appreciate Jin's voice and said that
Jin's gentle voice was not suitable for BTS's powerful hiphop songs.
In BTS' songs, Jin also doesn't have many lines to show off his vocals, so many people
believe that his limited singing ability is the reason for that.
Besides, Jin also had a hard time when he was considered a "blackhole" in BTS’s dancing.
When he debuted, fans always noticed that Jin often danced at the back of the lineup,
his movements were said to be not definitive, sometimes even slower than the other members.
Ironically, many netizens thought that because Jin was quite weak in choreography so he always
had to focus on every dance move and forgot his facial expression, this was believed to
make his stage presence not impressive.
However, after 8 years of working with BTS, Jin is seen making efforts consecutively and
he has made great progress in singing and dancing.
His vocals is now appreciated by many vocal coaches and he himself owns many solo songs
hitting the charts.
His dance moves have also become more free and dynamic.
Thus, Knet gradually acknowledged Jin's improvement with many comments praising his hard work
and what he's doing.
4.
Irene (Red Velvet)
Referring to one of the most beautiful goddesses of SM, netizens certainly cannot miss out
on Irene.
Irene and her renowned visuals have been making headlines everywhere for a long time.
However, it seems bad luck always clings to those who possess outstanding beauty cause
Irene is also called by the phrase "blank paper beauty" and people believed that she
was the rapper of the group because she couldn't take on any other position.
Many netizens pointed out that her rapping was so weak that it sounds like she’s reading
whenever she raps on stage.
She often loses her breath and has to try hard to catch up with the tempo when rapping.
Her vocals are also believed to be not as good as other group members and Irene herself
also revealed that she never passed the company's audition but was still accepted as a trainee
and debuted.
That’s why people commented that Irene had no passion for singing and if she didn’t
have that gorgeous visual, she was never accepted by SM.
In terms of dancing skills, some said that they noticed on some stages, Irene danced
superficially and often forgot the choreography.
However, Irene’s fans still pointed out that her skills have improved over time.
Plus, even though her vocal technique is not skilled, Irene's voice is said to be less
nasal and pretty sweet.
Besides, many netizens also think that though Irene is not a perfect dancer, her confidence
and charisma is a plus point that can make up for that.
5.
Sehun (EXO)
Sehun is known as the visual god of EXO with an appearance like a character coming from
a comic book.
He is also the member with the largest number of fans in the group because of his great
look.
But contrary to his appearance which is always praised, his skills and ability are criticized
a lot.
Until now, this handsome man has always been labeled "talentless" because his singing,
dancing or rapping are believed to have nothing outstanding.
Sehun's position in EXO is rapper, lead dancer and sub vocalist.
Because of his position and the number of EXO members, Sehun's line in every song is
very short.
Therefore, some netizens assumed that Sehun’s limited talent is the reason why he did not
receive many lines in the group.
In addition, many people also criticized that Sehun's voice was quite hard to hear and when
he sang live it was even worse.
But through time, netizens realize that Sehun has made much more progress in new music products.
His vocal has been praised for the softness and for being no longer stiff and flat like
in many previous songs.
It seems that possessing an outstanding visual sometimes makes the idols’ talents overshadowed.
But do you think netizens are being too harsh on them as they are trying their best to improve
everyday?
