Starship Entertainment

Welcome to the ninth 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, and NCT's JaeHyun. Readers voted for MONSTA X's HyungWon in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week.

MONSTA X's HyungWon gets praised for his visuals and tall height that would make anyone think he is a model at first glance.

HyungWon is famous as a member of the internationally famous K-Pop boy group MONSTA X. The whole group is known for their powerful performance presence and HyungWon definitely contributes to that with his overflowing charm.
