This series will explore some idols with so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols.

Back to this week’s feature! Note: For the remainder of this article we will refer to him as Choi MinGi. Choi MinGi is famous as a former member of the internationally-loved boy group NU’EST and as a soloist. He is known for his unique personality and his vocals which are, simply put, a force to be reckoned with. He is also multi-talented with authentic acting skills, too. Today, let’s take a look at his model potential. Firstly, let’s just pause for a moment and take some time to appreciate his beautiful facial proportions and features. His dimples accent his pure visuals, making him an even more fitting model for cosmetics lines. Choi MinGi in one word? Model. In other words? Ethereal. Elegant. Visually blessed. He has been known to be the object of mesmerized gazes from not just his fans but from other idols, as well. Renowned idols such as BTOB’s EunKwang, GOT7’s BamBam, and many more have commented about how beautiful they think Choi MinGi is. In fact, he was many of the “Produce 101 Season 2” members’ top visual pick. It’s hard for anyone who meets Choi MinGi not to be absolutely taken by his visuals. Some of Choi MinGi’s idol stylings have even earned him fantasy character status. In some of his conceptual styling, we have had the pleasure to witness the manhwa fantasy character Choi MinGi. It would be a treat to see him play a character in a fantastical drama or film, to see even more of this visual bliss. Choi MinGi is also well-known for his androgynous/gender-bending looks. He has a deep interest in nail art and fashion, making him a fashion designer’s dream to work with. Lastly, let’s appreciate this photo of the sun being Choi MinGi’s personal halo. If you knew nothing about K-Pop, Choi MinGi (Ren) would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree?
