Did we miss anyone? Let us know in the comments!

 

SM Entertainment is one of the largest entertainment companies in South Korea and one of the top companies in the country. They're home to many popular groups that we know and love. NCT, SHINee, Red Velvet, and many more, the list goes on! Many youth dream of joining the company and few are lucky enough to be chosen, train, and debut in a group under the company.

While there are multiple reasons for people to join companies, one of the main ones is that they want to be like the many idols they watch and admire on television. NCT is a popular boy group consisting of many units and talented individuals. The group revealed their SM Entertainment idols; some may even shock you! Here are some NCT members' role models that they revealed to us! See if any of your favorite NCT members like any of your other favorite SM artists.

 

1. JaeHyun's role model is SUPER JUNIOR's SiWon

Two handsome idols with looks that could make you faint and talent that's out of this world. NCT's JaeHyun states that his role model is SUPER JUNIORS's SiWon! He looks up to his senior and we can see the similarities between the idols. Both are naturally handsome, and talented and always give it their all when performing on stage!

 

2. TaeYong's role model is TVXQ's YunHo

NCT TaeYong's role model is TVXQ's YunHo! It's no shock that TaeYong chose YunHo as his role model because the two idols share similar characteristics. Both idols are known for their dripping charisma and are the leaders of their respective groups. TaeYong looks up to YunHo and probably wants to be as great of a leader as he is!

 

3. WinWin's role model is EXO's SeHun

NCT WinWin's role mode is EXO's SeHun! WinWin has similar roles in his group that SeHun has in his, so he wants to be as cool as his veteran role model. Both idols are lead dancers and lead rappers in their groups. Not only that, but both of them have jaw-dropping visuals!

 

4. TaeIl's role model is SUPER JUNIOR's KyuHyun

NCT TaeIl's role model is SUPER JUNIOR's KyuHyun! Both idols are the main vocalists in their group and are known for their amazing range when it comes to singing. TaeIl is an amazing singer and hopes to get even better just like his senior!

 

5. Yuta's role model is TVXQ's ChangMin

NCT Yuta's long-time role model is TVXQ's ChangMin! Yuta even shared with ChangMin that TVXQ was a big reason why he decided to become an idol and was never afraid to show his admiration for ChangMin.

 

6. DoYoung's role model is EXO's D.O

NCT DoYoung's role model is quite fitting for him! He looks up to EXO's D.O and we think these two are a perfect match. D.O has an enchanting, velvety voice that could make anyone fall for him. DoYoung is an amazing singer and evokes the same feelings of fans with his hypnotizing vocals. It makes sense why DoYoung admires the veteran singer so much.

 

7. HaeChan's role model is SHINee's TaeMin

It's no shock to us but NCT HaeChan's role model is SHINee's TaeMin! HaeChan is a multi-talented idol, much like his senior TaeMin. HaeChan always makes his love known for the popular idol and the two have so many similarities in their singing and dancing. The two have interacted on multiple occasions and we bet HaeChan was over the moon getting to talk with his role model.

 

8. Johnny's role model is EXO's SuHo

NCT Johnny's role mode is EXO's SuHo! Johnny looks up to SuHo and even states how he views the senior idol as his very own brother due to his tough love during Johnny's trainee days. Both idols are very caring and we think their friendship is why Johnny respects SuHo so much!

 

9. Mark's role model is TVXQ's YunHo

The same as his fellow member, NCT Mark's role model is TVXQ's YunHo as well! Mark has stated that YunHo is very respectable and has an amazing presence when on stage. We think Mark shows an amazing and respectable side himself, just like his very own role model!

K-Pop idols are already known for their insane talents in the idol industry. They can sing, dance, compose, choreograph, speak multiple languages and more. While many of these talents are well known by fans, what about the more unique talents that you would never think of?

From athletic talents to otherworldly ones, we've made a list of 15 idols with unique talents that you may or may not know about. See if any of these talents are shocking to you!

 

1. TWICE's DaHyun

TWICE's DaHyun is the group's mood maker and an insanely talented K-pop idol! Her unique talent is  that she is known for her amazing flexibility!

 

2. ATEEZ's JongHo

ATEEZ's JongHo is the group's maknae and an amazing vocalist in the K-Pop world. However, he has quite an interesting and unique talent. JongHo can break fruits apart with his bare hands! Sticking to his brand, he even sometimes sings while breaking fruits such as apples and melons.

 

3. BTOB's SungJae

BTOB's SungJae is an actor, charming vocalist, and master imitator. In the video, his pigeon impression was spot on!

 

4. BLACKPINK's Rosé

BLACKPINK's Rosé's talent might shock you if you only know the singer for her velvety vocals. She can twist her wrist 360 degrees, we were shocked when we saw it!

 

5. SEVENTEEN's WooZi

SEVENTEEN's WooZi is not only a talented singer, producer, and composer, he also plays the clarinet! He is already known for being skilled in other instruments like piano and guitar, so it's no shock that he also mastered another one.

 

6. EXO's D.O

EXO's D.O knows how to tap dance and this can also be seen in the movie "Swing Kids". He's already known for his acting talent so this is an additional plus to him!

 

7. 2PM's JunHo

2PM's JunHo can break a pair of chopsticks with his butt! We're unsure how he found out he could do this but it's still unique and a funny talent.

 

8. ENHYPEN's SungHoon

ENHYPEN's SungHoon is a figure skater and he was a competitive skater before his K-Pop career! Although he does not skate as often, every time people see a video of him skating it amazes them.

 

9 - 10. NCT's Kun

NCT's Kun is the group's daredevil. Not only does he skydive but he holds a pilot license too! He's also known as the group's magician. We think he'll definitely continue to learn many more risky talents.

 

11. ONEUS's KeonHee

ONEUS's KeonHee can do an echo effect with his voice and he demonstrates it near the beginning of this video!

 

12. MAMAMOO's Solar

MAMAMOO's Solar knows how to pole dance and showed off her skills at the"MAMA Awards". This isn't often seen in K-Pop!

 

13. MONSTA X's HyungWon

MONSTA X's HyungWon knows how to DJ and sometimes puts on a show at concerts! Many fans enjoy the uniqueness of his talent.

 

14. GOT7's Jackson Wang

GOT7's Jackson Wang is a fencer and was a professional fencer before he joined the group! His skills are so impressive that he even participated in Youth Olympics for the sport.

 

15. (G)I-DLE's SoYeon

(G)I-DLE's SoYeon is a woman of many talents, one of them being she can fit her entire fist in her mouth! She's a beauty on stage and a huge jokester when off of it.
