which idols come to mind when you think of idols that are completely different from how they are portrayed In their promotions?

My case in point:

Files

Comments

Zswag

Yedam in the most recent OnePact teaser photos but I love it 😭

b

Sunoo our duality king

beanie

ateez san!!

dubuholic

SKZ Changbin is the first that comes to mind, he’s always been portrayed so masculine or brooding but in reality he acts so cute 😭

Form of Therapy

Oh this is SO true. Literally acts like a monster on stage and off stage just a humble country boy gentleman like what

Sascha

Seulgi comes to mind 😂

Form of Therapy

Not just cute, he’s sassy and like super… what’s the word… idk FILLED WITH LOVE FOR HIS MEMBERS? LOL

MITNITE98

I will throw it way back. TVXQ Hero Jaejoong. SM always wanted to build a cold, mysterious vibe for him. Turns out, that's their only way to mute his talkativeness :)))

cemretiny

For me it is San, san is always promoted in the form of giving cold, tough and mafia type in the stage image, but San is one of the kindest idols I've ever seen and he is a person who is quite far from tough people image.

Alex

My first thought is Mingyu. He always acts sexy and mature, but he is a big puppy golden retriever, so cute and funny. When people say Mingyu is their favorite cause of his visual, i think is funny cause i don't see him that way anymore, i think he is one of the cutest members

Form of Therapy

OH THIS. I always thought Jaejoong was a cold mofo when I was young. He’s… not that LOL

Alex

Yes, i see San the same way i see Mingyu, they act sexy, but they are cuties

Erica

I think of how SM tried to tell Renjun that he should have a sweet and pure image and our sassy diva not only said I do what I want but also constantly exposes and calls out his company. King, I love him

madi

jungkook maybe lol so many sexy calvin klein photos and other photoshoots and then he goes home to have 8 hour long livestreams of him playing silly video games or doing karaoke by himself 💀

Letícia

thought of him!

Form of Therapy

Locals: Mingyu is so hot Carats: He‘s so sweet and kind SVT: Our punching bag

Form of Therapy

He‘s like “old world” nice too. Like he comes off mannerful and classy and chivalrous. But then on stage… *war flashbacks*

stylesniklaus

Hikaru, she’s so fierce on stage but sooooo cute in reality!!

Alex

this man is a double agent when it comes to expressions, cute and fatal

Form of Therapy

At least San doesn‘t get dunked on constantly by his own members lmao

CThee

Karina, she’s such a dork

Alex

So true 😂, poor Mingyu

stylesniklaus

yeonjun is also such a weirdo and a dork lmaoooo but on stage mamma mia

Aine

Yeah, one of my friends ults Karina and she said it's partly because of her "peak loser energy" and I didn't believe her until she showed me some videos lmao

Lilla

i mean it's gotta be felix, right? on stage and while promoting he is a sexy ass man with a deep ass voice, but in reality he's a just a boy living his best life as a nerdy gamer while baking brownies for his loved ones lol

Renee Alvarado

Sunoo is truly the king of Duality ❤️

Sascha

Jennie kinda fits this description too, she's just a capybara loving, super introverted cutie irl

Alex

I realize that watching SM game caterers, made me like her

Cecilia Zhang

Jin especially when bts first debuted

Evan Tess Murray

I was thinking of younger idols and realized I had the opposite of this: BoyNextDoor are promoting Leehan as a very cute but super dorky guy who is obsessed with fish, which is accurate 😂 My real examples are already named - Mingyu! And any group with a strong concept in terms of mood is likely to have at least one member whose offstage persona doesn't quite match. With Enhypen, Sunoo is obvious, but Jay and Heeseung are both pretty different offstage as well. 🤣

Antoni

wonhee from illit being pushed for her cute + elegant visuals, when she’s rough, funny, and hyperactive and would rather fans call her wonhee oppa 😭😭😭

UnraveledSpace

Chaeyoung of Twice in the early days definitely

Wiktor

HWANG YEJI. On stage : 🐱 🐉 😠 💃 🎤 📈 Off stage : 🐱🥰 uwu

atlas

debut gunwook is very different from boys planet gunwook

A.R.R

In a similar way honestly, Onew lol. SM had me thinking he loved wearing mostly sweater vests, that he would stick to classical ballads and that he didnt mind releasing music every now and then. Since he's left he's done so many styles of music and fashion lol and he tours and releases a lot of stuff! It started with Circle which was his last album under their label and took off since. It made me rethink how much I really thought I "knew" an idol.

Lilac Lavender

Kinda does get dunked on by wooyoung tho 😂.

beanie

wooyoung lives to tease

Jessica

There's a lot of idols with duality and can portray a wide array of concepts on stage. But I know sometimes companies try to give idols off-stage personas too. I don't have great examples, but I suspect there are some idols who act different irl from even how they are in variety content.

yessi

I wanna say zb1 jiwoong but it’s more how people see him in promotions (cool handsome guy) vs how he really is(dork goofy and a lil cringe(affectionate)) bc wakeone never “pushed” him in any aspect lmao

a k

LE SSERAFIM Kazuha. She's always portrayed as this cool girl, but she's just a goofy comedian.

ina

jiung from p1harmony he is a dork

Evan Tess Murray

Yeah it's not W1 😂 if anything it's how mnet promoted him just carried forward

Nadine

I would say Monsta X Joohoney and Got7 Jackson. Cool, sexy and fierce on stage but cute and funny off stage.

kasey

LOL

Brooklyn

See, I would say San but he’s just nothing like how *he* presents himself on stage. On stage he’s this crazy, tough, scary performer. Irl he’s sweet and bouncing off the walls energetic in a cute way and KQ’s team absolutely knows that and edits their content to highlight it lmao

Yev

honeslty, i wouldnt say Sunoo is different from what company pushes on him based on the interviews and shows I have seen Enhypen in? He does act pretty uwu, but, I will say, there is tiny bit of a (pls understand me correctly) cute bitchy/savage~ aura to him? but YES i absolutely love it how he can transform like this depending on the concept... do you think thats the real him PD? :D

mads

i totally agree!! sunoo is cutesy on the outside like 80% of the time but definitely has insane duality especially when performing. he does give me sassy/savage vibes i totally understand what u mean and i think he has a lot more grit (for lack of a better term) than most ppl give him credit for!!

ChunkyC

Twice's Momo and tripleS Hyerin are both badass on stage but not so much IRL lol

thuy

jihoon from wanna one for me!
