When talking about whether an idol has a stunning visual, people often just think about how
that person looks from the front and that’s that.
However, there are still ironic situations where some look super stunning, are recognized
by the public as an original visual but still said to have rather unattractive side-profile.
Apparently that sounds kinda counterintuitive but according to some opinions, there are
still solid reasons to solidify such a belief.
1.
Jennie
Though Jennie didn’t exactly meet all the criteria of a typical South Korean beauty,
she still got everyone fall heads over heels for the unique visual that is a perfect combination
between sexiness and cuteness.
While most people would fit with only a certain kind of make-up and fashion style, Jennie
could effortlessly slay any thing thrown at her thanks to the versatile visual.
However, because no one is 100% perfect in the eyes of netizens, some said that even
when they admitted Jennie’s visual was top-tier, she still had one of the least justifying
side profiles.
Because the dumpling cheeks that went hand in hand with the super small face, which was
initially also the thing that helped Jennie have that cutesy vibe in her kitternish look,
her cheekbones were said to be all covered, decreasing the definedness of her facial structure.
Out of the four members, Jennie was the only one to have a slightly recessed chin and more
babyfat concentrated on the lower cheeks, leading to the desired “S” line being
subdued.
Not only that, as she also had a gummy smile and a short, slightly convex nose.
While fans consider these are the cutest features, some said these instead worsened her side
profile as they distorted the contour and dimension of her face when smiling.
With a natural resting bitch face, Jennie’s lips were thus a little bit pouty and in the
eyes of some, this trait also made her side profile less justifying compared to her front-side
visual.
On other threads where netizens rank the side profiles of each member, Jennie was also frequently
named last even when people didn’t hold any grudges against her and just simply tried
to be as objective as possible.
However, that didn’t necessarily mean that Jennie was not attractive because throughout
the thread, many emphasized that the reason she was ranked last was only that other members
have a more appealing side profile with more defined features.
Plus, also thanks to the dumpling cheeks and the less prominent jawline, Jennie is also
frequently praised for looking way younger than people her age.
I mean, who would look at her and say that she was 26 years old this year?
Absolutely no one.
2.
Ryujin
Besides Jennie, Ryujin also raised lots of mixed opinions about her side profile and
according to some, while her front-view visual was incredibly stunning and they kinda look
forward to seeing her debuting as an actress considering how she shared a lot in common
with actress Han So Hee appearance-wise, her side profile was said to just not be it.
Some said her side profile wasn’t the best compared to her front-view visual and in one
topic titled “Which K-Pop idol has a less attractive side profile?,” where people
were encouraged to voice their opinions without hate speech, Ryujin was even there topping
the list.
As some pointed out, the way her lips slightly protruded and her nose appeared rather concave
due to the long nose tip made her face less attractive when looking from the side.
Similar to Jennie, as Ryujin aso had faintly overbite teeth and a recessed chin, they also
failed to give her the desired ogee curve that the public wanted to see at a typical
visual, especially the one that was so hyped up like Ryujin.
However, many others found the side profile of Ryujin visually-pleasing and believed whether
or not her visual looked good depended a lot on the camera angles.
For example, compared the picture where the angle was titled down a bit to the one where
the camera was placed parallel to her face, it was clear that her side profile wasn’t
unattractive at all.
In the pictures taken when Ryujin appeared at the Louis Vuitton PFW, it was clear that
her side profile was totally as justifying as the front-side visual.
In fact, her nose, lips and chin also fell on the Rickett line quite clearly and according
to science, this was clearly a sign that her facial features had a real good ratio.
3.
YooA
YooA has been famous as the living doll of K-Pop not only because of the fair porcelain
complexion but also for the face that was as gorgeous as being molded.
In fact, her visual had already stood out significantly before the debut with Oh My
Girl because as YooA herself once shared on Radio Star in 2016, she had always been annoyed
by perverts and on average, she would be stalked by some strange men in their 20s or older
on five days a week.
However, it was also because of such features like the unbelievably small face accompanied
by the chubby cheeks, big eyes and plump lips, some said that her side profile came across
as kinda weird because every feature stood out prominently on its own rather than blending
together to create a visually pleasing look.
While YooA’s big round eyes were the biggest factor helping her have such a doll-like look,
they appear to be slightly protruding from the side.
Especially because this feature is fitted into such a small face along with the high
forehead, chubby cheeks and super plump lips, her face was said to suddenly look stuffed
and unnatural.
Plus, as the little hump on her nose bridge was revealed when looking from the side, some
even had more reasons to say that her side profile was way less justifying to the front-view
visual.
However, there were still opinions saying that YooA looked good regardless of angles.
Especially for the hamster cheeks that were said to cover her cheekbones and defined jawline,
some defended that this feature actually helped her maintain the baby, ageless look despite
the cruelty of time.
4.
Momo
Talking about Twice’s visual, most will immediately think of either Tzuyu or Sana
but as time passess, especially since the Feel Special forward, Momo’s visual gradually
captures the attention of everyone because of the mature features.
Plus, as Momo has also been hitting the gym frequently, the lines on her face started
to appear more defined.
However, when it comes to Momo’s side profile, some said it did no justice to her visual
since looking from the side, her face appeared to be quite flat and unharmonious.
Compared to the desired ogee curve and Rickett line expected at a top-tier visual, Momo was
assessed to not meet the bar because of the low cheekbones, short chin and thin lips.
Others also agreed the slightly crooked nose was kinda unpleasant to the eyes.
When the members of TWICE were ranked based on their side profile, Momo was also frequently
seen at either the 8th or 9th position but rather than hate speech, most just expressed
their opinions based on the objective observation as to who had the least justifying side profile
to their front-view visual.
5.
Nayeon
Maybe you find it’s much of a surprise to find Nayeon on this list because at the end
of the day, she’s still the center of the most successful girl group of JYP.
Plus, her visual is always said to be among the top-tier of gen3 thanks to the bunny type
of face and the smile as bright as the Sun.
That’s why even when Tzuyu is the official visual of TWICE, questions like “Why Nayeon
isn’t the visual?”
still popped up once in a while as people just couldn't get enough of her beauty.
However, when it comes to her side profile, some said that they suddenly found her visual
kinda awkward.
As some pointed out, due to the heavily recessed chin and the jawline that was subdued by her
baby fat, Nayeon's side-view visual looked way less attractive than other members and
even the front-view visual of her own.
Combining that with the high cheekbones, the slightly raised nose and the extremely high
nose bridge, Nayeon’s face creates the impression that the upper part is lifted up a little
bit too much.
When the members of TWICE were ranked based on their side profile, many also placed Nayeon
at the 9th and 8th spot, saying that her straight and narrow forehead was also one of the reasons
her appearance looking from the side was way less attractive than the front-side visual.
However, there are disagreeing opinions, believing that the photos chosen to bring down her side
profile were only taken in odd angles and whether or not it looked good depended on
a lot of personal preferences.
For example, while Sana was always there topping the list of TWICE’s members with the best
side profile, some still said they didn’t agree because her nose was a bit crooked.
So, which idol do you think doesn't deserve to be judged on their side profile?
