Which K-Pop Idol Had The Best Instagram Update In The 2nd Week Of July 2023?

 

"Boys Planet" is soon coming to an end, and the competition was fire all along. The participants all worked so hard and showed us the best of their talents. We got to see amazing singers, dancers, rappers, and visuals, of course. Now only a few of them are left, and their talent seems limitless at that point. Some got to shine in a specific category, like vocal, rap, or dance. But others seem to be able to do it all. Most participants have been outstanding from the beginning, and some others got even better along the show, but one thing is for sure, they are full of talent and nothing can bring them down.

Since the beginning of the show, some participants presented themselves as all-rounders, and have proven to be so. Others were quiet at first but did not miss the chance to stand out through their performances, without saying a single word. Unfortunately, not all participants are here anymore, but for sure there were some very talented trainees among them. For today, let's focus on those who are still in the competition. Let's take a look at all-rounders among the remaining participants of "Boys Planet"!

Note: This is not a ranking

 

1. Zhang Hao

Zhang Hao got the attention of everyone from day one as he introduced himself as a music professor and violinist, already proving that he was skilled. But he had more talents up his sleeve. Zhang Hao might not be Korean, but he has been praised all along "Boys Planet" for his efforts in learning Korean and his perfect pronunciation. Of course, this is not a quality required for an all-rounder, but it showed how devoted he could be. As he performed multiple times, he showed a new side of himself every time, and thanks to that, we got to know about his all-rounder status as well. Dance, rap, and vocal, Zhang Hao can cover it all, and he also has the visuals, like the cherry on top!

 

2. Keita

As a member of Ciipher, it is not surprising that Keita has it all, he is already an idol after all. Even if he is mainly a rapper, Keita has proved more than once that he had very good vocal skills as well, and his dancing is a given. Keita has been very high in the ranking since the beginning, and it is more than justified. The competition was rough, but Keita always gave his best, and it paid off. Everyone was pleased to see various sides and talents of his during "Boys Planet", and we'll be looking forward to more charming sides of Keita in the future!

 

3. Park HanBin

Park HanBin has made a great impression since the star level for performing an ATEEZ song, known to be some of the hardest to perform. And one thing that has made him stand out from others is his control over his expression, and his amazing leadership, always leading his team to victory. But other than his expression, HanBin has everything an all-rounder should have: he can dance so well, he is a very skilled rapper, and he has outstanding vocals as well, as he showed in his 'Hot Sauce' performance. Park HanBin is certainly a trainee full of talent, and a certified all-rounder.

 

4. Park GunWook

Park GunWook introduced himself as an all-rounder on the first episode of the survival show, and he did not lie about it. If some might have thought that he was full of confidence to consider himself an all-rounder before even performing, they sure got blown up by his natural talent, and all-rounder material. Park GunWook is one of the youngest trainees still in the show, but his talent seems limitless already. Since day one, he displayed his amazing dance skills. But he did not stop there. Park GunWook showed us his wonderful voice as both a vocal and a rapper. Of course, he also has outstanding visuals, both cute and sexy, he can switch between the two at any time. He presented himself as one, but Park GunWook proved to be an amazing all-rounder.

 

Those participants of the show are surely full of talents, and they can serve all concepts and all group positions. They're doing an amazing job, and we're cheering on all of the remaining participants!
