It's become the norm for K-Pop idols to have a representative animal emoji. This emoji is either selected by the company pre-debut, by the idols themselves, or through consistent fan interactions. Idols share some similarities with these emojis from their visuals to personality. Most emojis used by idols are pretty commonplace and can even be seen in our daily lives. This includes animals like cats, dogs, and even baby chicks.

But just like there are a vast amount of species in the animal kingdom, some idols choose more unique and peculiar animals as their representative emojis. These choices set these idols apart, making them unique in the ever expanding world of K-Pop. While there is some overlap, their representative emoji is only shared by a small circle of idols, compared to the others. We compiled a previous list of uncommon animal emojis which you can view down below.

Now, let's meet more of these unique idols and their representative emojis!

Before starting this week's series, you can vote for who you want to see featured in next week's article. If you would like to see a different idol/actor pairing (not mentioned in the poll) featured in the series, please leave their names in the comments and we will add them to the vote over time.

Important notice: the vote only decides who will be covered in the next article. Everyone in the poll will be covered in the series eventually. Suggestions will also be gradually added each week.

Back to this week's feature! 

Firstly, Lee WonKeun, SHINee's Onew, and DRIPPIN's Joo ChangUk look very similar when they smile. Their cheeks and smile lines are quite similar, including their eye smiles and the way their noses scrunch up.

They also have similar nose shapes.

This trio has similar face and jaw shapes, too. Lee WonKeun and Joo ChangUk have similar mouth shapes. However, Onew's upper lip is a bit on the thicker side.
