Idol vs. Model: HyunA, The Ultimate Model As The Queen Of Any Aesthetic

Harper's BAZAAR

Welcome to the fourteenth article of Kpopmap's weekly series "Idol vs. Model"!

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

EXO's Kai opened the series for us, followed by SF9's Yoo TaeYang, CIX's Bae JinYoung, ASTRO's Cha EunWoo, Weki Meki's Kim DoYeon, BLACKPINK's Rosé, BTS's V, NCT's JaeHyun, MONSTA X's HyungWon, EXO's SeHun, Girls' Generation's YoonA, Red Velvet's Joy, and SunMi. Readers voted for HyunA in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week.

HyunA is one of the most iconic female K-Pop idols and solo artists in the Korean music industry. Every K-Pop fan has at least heard one of her iconic songs.

She is known for her free-spiritedness and her musicality and her eye for aesthetics. In fact, she has been featured in our "Girl Crush" series before. Read the full article on why HyunA should be one of your K-Pop girl crushes here.

Firstly, HyunA has a stunning face with doe eyes and full lips. She is so pretty that even her passport photo seems like an editorial picture.

She can pull off any fashion look, which was proven in her recent photoshoot with Harper's BAZAAR for the luxury brand LOEWE.

HyunA has an artistic knack for posing and will highlight the product she is modeling even if it means contorting into unexpected poses.

Not to mention that she is not afraid of bold styling choices, statement makeup and hair looks. She has a quirky sense of style that would be any stylist's dream to work with.
