Top 10 Male Idols Who Can Be Called The Flower Boys Of K-Pop Because Of Their Gentle Masculinity

ATEEZ’s Twitter / OnlyOneOf’s Twitter

A lot of male and female idols are breaking stereotypes and gender norms these days. Girls are pulling off short hair and masculine style more easily, and boys are often seen wearing flower crowns for their concepts or even skirts, but of course, all of this is subjective. Indeed, the reason why fans enjoy this so much is that it helps to stop putting a label on objects or clothes, putting both genders at the same level. Some specific idols are very well-known for breaking the standards, especially male idols, as some are really game changers in the industry.

Many male idols these days refuse to be put in a category and prove so by trying out many styles originally considered feminine and even sometimes opt for a more delicate attitude, not often associated with men. We call this “gentle masculinity” and many male idols are going for it, all in. Most of the male idols who present traits of gentle masculinity are called flower boys, in reference to flowers being delicate. So let’s take a look at the top 10 flower boys of the K-Pop industry!

Note: This is not a ranking.

Starting off with a real-life princess, JeongHan! Not only does he have this perfect skin, but he has pretty hair and a very soft aura, JeongHan is one of the most perfect flower boys you’ll find in the whole industry!

Another idol that fits right into the flower boy category is Xion! After trying out long hair for several comebacks, and showing his love for Disney and plushies, it only makes sense that Xion is a flower boy.

How can we not mention New when talking about flower boys? New has really cute and gentle facial features that make him look so gentle without doing anything! But of course, there are many other reasons why New should be part of the flower boy team, such as his fashion style or his cute attitude.

There are many flower boys among ATEEZ’s members, but for today we chose YeoSang! Especially recently with his mid-length hair, he just looks like he came right out o a manhwa! YeoSang has been said to give off prince energy before, but he really gives flower boy energy too nowadays!

This idol might not come to your mind first when talking about flower boys, but he certainly cannot be excluded from this list. DongHun always showed very cute and soft attitudes towards his members and even his eye smile look so adorable, if you put a flower crown on his head, he becomes the perfect flower boy!

Despite being part of the rap line, GiWook is just a ball of fluff and cute! Many times he displayed various cute items that he owns, and even his facial features scream “cute”! His voice may be deep, but his light attitude and small height make him a great flower boy material!

DaeHwi has both a cute and cool side, but for today, we chose his soft side! DaeHwi’s visuals are a perfect fit for the title of flower boy, and so are his skills! If you ever heard his solo song ‘Rose, Scent, Kiss‘, it is hardly deniable that it makes the perfect anthem for flower boys!

Of course, OnlyOneOf is a group that just has to be mentioned in this list! It is impossible to list all members, but they’re all great flower boys’ material. Today, let your heart melt for YooJung, may it be his perfect cherry lips or his wonderful hair, he gives all the visuals expected from a flower boy!

Felix is also part of the lineup of K-Pop’s flower boy. Felix’s visuals are already said to be quite gentle and soft, especially when his freckles are showing. It gives him a very cute aura, perfect for being a flower boy everyone loves!

Last but not least, HanBin, K-Pop’s cutest sunflower! His nickname already shows how much of a flower boy he is. But his cute smile and pretty voice also add to his flower boy potential!

All those pretty visuals and delicate personalities, we can only fall for it, right? Which of these idols do you like the most when it comes to their flower boy energy?
