Renowned as national heartthrobs, with millions of female fans worldwide, these male idols
are not exempt from the occasional bashfulness when it comes to discussing their feelings
for their female fellows.
Which male idols are you thinking of?
Join today's video as we are gonna roll call the male idols who have openly admitted to
having a crush on female idols in the K-pop scene!
BamBam (Got7) has a longstanding crush on Nayeon (Twice)
Leaving no room for ambiguity, and not just mere fan speculation or rumors, BamBam himself
made a candid admission on live television that he had a longstanding crush on Nayeon.
In the show "BamBam House," during a conversation with Jihyo, a member of Twice alongside Nayeon,
BamBam fearlessly revealed: "Many people don't know that Jihyo and I have been close since
my very first day in Korea.
But I must say, during my trainee days, the person I talked to more frequently than Jihyo
was actually Nayeon.
I even had a crush on her, remember?".
Upon hearing this, Jihyo expressed her genuine surprise, stating, "You really don't hold
back, do you?
You're incredible, BamBam!".
It is known that BamBam carries the weight of his idol image.
The Got7 member has previously mentioned his reluctance to get married, as achieving his
current position was not an easy feat.
Therefore, Jihyo never expected BamBam to openly confess his feelings for Nayeon in
front of a multitude of people in such a manner.
If you regularly follow BamBam or Nayeon, you can truly see how their friendship is
worthy of admiration.
Despite the age gap and the senior-junior relationship within JYP, both of them frequently
engage in playful teasing and have a great time together.
For example, during a backstage interview at the "2016 MAMA Behind," Nayeon jokingly
said, "I've been raising this 'kid' by buying him milk since he was a child!"
In another instance, during the "KBS Song Festival 2019" music event, Nayeon planned
with Yugyeom (a Got7 member) to give the spotlight to BamBam as he prepared to perform his rap
part.
It's clear that despite the teasing, Nayeon genuinely cares about BamBam.
This might be the reason why the Got7 member is attracted to the Twice idol.
Doyoung (NCT) has developed a liking for Jennie (Blackpink)
Jennie is arguably one of the most popular female idols in the K-pop industry today.
In fact, her stunning beauty and sophisticated charm have attracted the attention of many
male and female idols.
Among them, NCT member Doyoung has inadvertently revealed evidence of harboring a crush on
the Black Pink member for quite some time.
The incident began when Doyoung "liked" a picture of Jennie on social media.
Specifically, an Instagram account posted a comparison of Jennie's appearance with and
without bangs.
Fans discovered that Doyoung's official account had liked the post, although he quickly removed
the "evidence."
Nevertheless, it didn't go unnoticed by vigilant netizens.
While it may have been an innocent slip of the hand while scrolling through social media,
many believe that the NCT idol genuinely has feelings for Jennie and discreetly keeps up
with news about her online.
This isn't the first time Doyoung has shown interest in Jennie.
Netizens swiftly dug up their shared activities and uncovered heartwarming moments of Doyoung
and Jennie standing together on the same stage.
During one occasion, when Jennie was promoting her SOLO song and Doyoung was serving as an
MC, he attentively assisted her when she struggled with a basket of mandarins.
Although it was just a small gesture, it was enough to capture the hearts of fans and demonstrated
Doyoung's unwavering attention to Jennie.
Johnny (NCT) has had a crush on Yoona (SNSD) for over a decade
Dubbed the nation's goddess, Yoona is hailed as one of the most beautiful, graceful and
kind-hearted idols in the K-pop industry, earning her a significant number of fans among
her peers.
Among the enthusiasts of this K-pop goddess, NCT's idol Johnny has been a devoted admirer
of Yoona for over a decade.
This revelation came directly from Johnny himself during an episode of "My SM Television."
Specifically, in the program, Johnny served as the MC, and Yoona was invited as a guest.
Co-hosting the show alongside Johnny was Lee Teuk, a senior colleague from the same company
as both of them.
Knowing about his younger brother's "secret," Lee Teuk purposely created more opportunities
for them to interact by directly asking Johnny, "You really like Yoona, don’t you?".
Despite feeling somewhat bashful, Johnny candidly admitted, "Since 2008 until now, my affection
for Yoona hasn't changed.
It's like...
Oh, I'm actually a bit worried!
I am a devoted fan of Yoona, and it will always be that way.
Thank you for being yourself all these years, Yoona."
Embarrassed, the male idol exclaimed, "Oh my goodness," and covered his blushing face.
As for Yoona, upon hearing about her junior's feelings towards her, she also felt a bit
shy but expressed her gratitude towards Johnny.
Johnny's fondness for his senior has never been a secret.
It's not only evident to NCT fans, but even his fellow group members are well aware of
it and love to playfully tease him about it.
They often pull pranks on Johnny, like pointing at Yoona-themed pillows while they're out
shopping or suggesting that he bust out some moves to a popular SNSD song.
The whole group bursts into laughter and playful banter when Johnny correctly guesses songs
like "I Got a Boy" by SNSD just from the melody.
Johnny is truly a dedicated Yoona fanboy, and fans of both idols find it absolutely
delightful.
Eunkwang (BTOB) declares his affection for Seulgi (Red Velvet) right on live television
The story of Eunkwang (BTOB) falling for the goddess Seulgi of Red Velvet is no secret
to K-pop fans.
In fact, Seulgi herself has acknowledged being aware of this and expressed her gratitude
for the affection Eunkwang has shown her.
Specifically, during a talk show called "Shin Yang Nam Show," where the four members of
Red Velvet were invited as guests, they interacted with lucky fans.
When the host facilitated a call between Seulgi and one of the fans, he boldly declared himself
as a passionate admirer of the female idol.
With honesty, he expressed, "Seulgi, what should I do?
I think my heart has skipped a beat."
He couldn't contain his laughter as he engaged in conversation with Seulgi.
Once his familiar voice was recognized and he was questioned about pretending to be a
fan, the truth finally came out: he was none other than Eunkwang.
The revelation left the host, guests, and audience in utter astonishment, intensifying
the already electric atmosphere of the talk show.
Seizing the opportunity, Eunkwang sent a heartfelt message to Seulgi: "I might be crossing a
line here by saying this on live TV, but I want to genuinely apologize to you, Seulgi."
Seulgi, caught off-guard, waved off his apology, insisting, "Oh no, there's really no need
to apologize!"
However, Eunkwang persisted and explained the sudden remorse, confessing, "I was genuinely
concerned that both BTOB fans, Red Velvet fans, and even you, would feel uncomfortable
knowing that I had chosen you as my ideal type.
So please, accept my sincere apology."
It's worth noting that in previous interviews, when asked about his dream girlfriend, Eunkwang
didn't hesitate to name Seulgi from Red Velvet.
Furthermore, when questioned about the most beautiful idol, he specifically singled out
Seulgi as the epitome of beauty among all the girl groups in the K-pop industry.
It's clear that Eunkwang harbors deep affection for Seulgi and genuinely regrets if his own
feelings have inadvertently caused any pressure or discomfort for the talented female idol.
The willingness of male idols to openly declare their affection for female idols has captivated
the online community.
People are genuinely thrilled, with many exclaiming, "Wow, even idols have crushes on my favorite
idols!"
