In addition to Jungkook, many idols are also compared to animals within K-pop. See some!
In South Korea, there is a custom that, in many other places, can have different meanings: comparing people’s faces to animals. This practice is called “dongmulsang”, and can take into account both someone’s features and personality.
Within K-pop, it is extremely common to see idols practicing this custom where, many of them, end up using the animal they are related to as a symbol referring to them, which can often be transformed into commercialized products.
Groups like Stray Kids and BLACKPINK, for example, have already created stuffed animals inspired by each member’s animals to be sold. Look!
But, have you ever wondered how these characteristics can be noticed? We present you some. Check out!
Cat
People with cat-like features have eyes that are accentuated upwards, and most have monolid eyelids. Furthermore, the features of their faces are also very striking, and they usually have a sexy and chic personality, and a little more introverted.

Wolf

In this case, it is common to have rounded eyes that give off a mysterious vibe, in addition to having striking eyebrows, a well-defined jawline and strong facial features. Regarding their personality, they demonstrate an initial appearance of maturity.

Dinosaur
Yes, even dinosaurs are part of this list. In this case, only men are related to these prehistoric beings, being recognized by their face with strong features, a well-marked and angular jaw. However, even within this category there is a subdivision: men with these characteristics, but who have a sweeter personality, are considered “herbivorous dinosaurs”, while those with a bad boy look are “carnivorous dinosaurs”.
