Here are 7 male K-Pop idols who prefer to remain alcohol free.
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap EditorThere's no doubt that South Korea is known for its drinking culture. This is portrayed through K-Dramas, MVs, and etc. Due to cultural and society norms, it's not unusual to hear stories on K-Pop idols going out for drinks. Many groups are even asked in interviews about their drinking tolerance and if certain members have a special drinking habit. Some idols may also appear on YouTube drinking shows like "Street Alcohol Fighter" and "My Alcohol Diary" hosted by Super Junior's HeeChul and Lee YoungJi respectively.
Despite these societal norms, some idols prefer to avoid drinking completely. Whether it's due to health concerns or their own choice, these idols do their best to stay away from consuming little to no alcohol at all. In a country with such an explosive night life and drinking culture, it's impressive that these idols are able to maintain their resolve.
So let's take a look at some of these male K-Pop idols who choose to remain alcohol free.
The hip hop scene has a strong image of artists who enjoy alcohol and can hold their liquor. Despite being a rap icon and a huge part of Korean hip hop, ZICO is the type of person who chooses soda over beer. Once on a variety program, the artist revealed that he doesn't drink. He even said that he would run away during dinners with BLOCK B in order to avoid drinking. For someone filled with charisma and swag on stage, ZICO has a timid and cute side to him, too.
ONEUS talked about their alcohol limits through a content series called "Talk Over Drinks". LeeDo explained that he used to enjoy drinking. However, once he started working out, he stopped completely in order to maintain his figure. Earlier this year during their "TRICKSTER" promotions, LeeDo showed off his chiseled figure for his concept photos. If not consuming alcohol gets him a body like that, we agree that LeeDo made the right choice.
In a previous interview, MinHyun stated that in order to keep a good image to the public and to always show his best side to his fans, he chooses not to drink. The only times he does consume alcohol is at company dinners, about 3 times a year. Not only does MinHyun have amazing good looks, but he is also multi-talented with a kind, caring heart towards his fans.
It wouldn't be surprising at all if the world renowned K-Pop idol talked about enjoying drinks with his friends. However, Kai previously stated that he doesn't like the taste of alcohol nor is he the type to party. Rather than going out for a night of drinking, the idol superstar prefers to spend his time in the comfort of his home. He's precious even as Kai the homebody.
WonHo is known for his toned and muscular figure. With this in mind, it would make sense why he doesn't partake in drinking. However, the fit idol says he doesn't drink for other reasons. Through fancafe messages, WonHo revealed that in order to avoid hurting others and making mistakes, he avoids alcohol consumption. WonHo is such a sweet, well-mannered idol.
With BTOB being known for their silly and goofy antics, you would think this would follow them into their drinking habits, too. However, that is definitely not the case for Peniel. He's mentioned before that he does not like the taste of alcohol or the after effects that come with it. That just goes to show that even without alcohol, Peniel can be the life of the party.
MinHyuk's low alcohol tolerance is but one reason that the idol star barely drinks. He revealed that his limit is two glasses before his body turns red and has also stated that he doesn't really like the taste of alcohol. He would much rather have a carbonated drink. There is even a video where the members are drinking together, but MinHyuk is seen to be holding a cup of soda instead. There needs to be that one sober friend of the group and MinHyuk fits that role perfectly.

Check out these 5 Talented idols who have a photography account on Instagram
Ash, Kpopmap EditorIdols often have more than their musical skills. Apart from singing and dancing, many idols have a talent for arts, may it be painting, photography, or else. Many idols have shown their creations through Vlive or pictures on Twitter, but that is still a small amount of content. Recently more and more idols have been joining Instagram, creating personal accounts to share even more with their fans. Of course, many only upload their selfie and behind pictures on their account, but others went as far as creating a special account to display their art.
For sure, you can see some idols' artistic skills even without them having a proper account for this. But it is so nice to enjoy an account full of landscape pictures, far from the idols selca we get most of the time. So today we chose to present you 5 idols who created Instagram accounts for their photographs.
Hwang MinHyun is the Idol that goes for the most minimalist style for his pictures. There is not many object, no people, and simple light and color balance, a real professional.
Peniel has quite a soft sense of photography, looking at them, it feels like some old memories and pictures from childhood period. The composition of his picture is pretty simple too, and it suits him perfectly.
Lee ChanHyuk is going for a more retro-vibe photography style. It is very light and colorful with some sort of blurry or low-quality effect, which is pretty unusual. But we like it as much as others' pictures.
WOODZ isn't sticking to one specific photography style, using many different effects and color palettes. His pictures are representative of who he is, his personality is very diverse and full of colors. Maybe, his photographs were made to make us see the world through his eyes.
Yoon's pictures inspire serenity and calm. Maybe it is due to the low saturation of colors, and the calm landscape he photographs, but one thing is for sure, he knows how to spread emotions as beautifully as his pictures.
Which of those pictures do you like the most? Let us know in the comments!
