In K-Pop, there is a large range of physical features and personalities, enough for everyone to find an idol they like. But considering only visuals can sometimes be tricky. Indeed, there are a lot of idols whose face or body do not match their personalities. For example, some can look small and cute but have a strong and charismatic personalities, while others might be the exact opposite.
