Many male K-Pop idols have been winning the affection of K-Pop fans around the world with their pretty visuals. You can always find fans leaving comments under music show fancam videos complimenting their idols’ expensive face cards. Recently, K-Pop fans love to address their idols as prince by combining a word from their name with “janim”, which stands for prince in Korean (왕자님 / wangjanim). For example, ATINY would call ATEEZ’s YunHo “윤자님 / Yunjanim”, which means “Prince YunHo”.
While the 5th gen era has just begun last year, this generation is already filled with handsome idols with prince-like visuals that make it so hard for K-Pop fans to choose their bias. Here are some of the prettiest 5th gen K-Pop male idols who exude prince vibe. Are you ready to fall for the swoon-worthy visuals of these heart-stealing princes?
1. 8TURN’s JaeYun
8TURN’s leader JaeYun has big deep-set eyes and sharp jawline which makes him radiate an exotic mixed prince aura.

(G)I-DLE’s MiYeon even introduced HanBin as the “MCountdown Prince” when he first appeared as the host of MCountdown. Some fans commented that the “MCountdown Princess” had finally found her prince charming, and HanBin looked absolutely elegant doing the prince’s bow.
In one of the later episodes of MCountdown, HanBin wore a black prince outfit, which drove all the ZEROSE into a frenzy again. Many commented that this is the perfect concept for him, and he certainly deserves the title “MCountdown Prince”!

4. 82MAJOR’s Park SeokJoon
82MAJOR has been known for their cool hip-hop image, which might make it hard for one to associate them with the prince concept. However, the group’s low-tone rapper Park SeokJoon has a pretty and elegant visual, which forms an interesting contrast with his deep voice and makes all 82DE get stuck in his reverse charm. Some Korean netizens said that he is a hidden 5th Gen “face genius” that looks like a mix of NCT‘s JaeMin and Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi. Do you agree?

The curled-up corners of his mouth resemble a cinnamon roll, which makes him look so soft when he smiles, and his deep dimples are really lovely.

SeokJoon is so beautiful wearing pink eyeshadow and lipstick. He looks like the prettiest 5th gen hip-hop prince with this makeup!

SeokJoon in suit is definitely 82DE’s weakness – this can’t be more prince-coded.

Brian dyed his hair blonde for AMPERS&ONE’s recent comeback, and this hair color takes his already delicate visual to the next level as it suits his white skin perfectly and brings out a feeling of royalty.
