abra 40,910 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Inspired by PurpleAnii's thread. This thread is for the idols that somehow ended up good idols despite seeming like it would be the last thing they'd become. My top pick would be former AKB48 member Paruru who showed that you could become a top idol despite not having any social or performance skills. As it turned out giving poor or non-existent fan service is one way to get popular as long as you're cute. To lesser extent: - Krystal from f(x) was practically forced into becoming an idol and didn't seem to love the idea but her attitude became a big part of her popularity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighterxx 12,204 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Jeonghan He was recruited to be actor by another company. He got too excited in that one, so he did better with Pledis. (Frankly he didn't want to be an actor too lmao) He mentioned he didn't liked idol training etc at predebut, but understood why people work so hard to be an Idol when he was finally on stage, Infront of his fans. I guess, svt in general get drunk from stage. He likes it now lol Edited October 20, 2020 by lighterxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love 8,778 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 taeil from nct? he had gotten accepted into a super competitive applied music program at hanyang university (which is also a uni that requires really good grades in all subjects) and was torn between going through as a student or join SM as a trainee...obviously we know what he chose he also isn't a typical idol vocalist i'd say, even though SM has plenty of talented male vocalists--his preferred musical style never struck me as "idol-ish" but i'm so glad he's in NCT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rananicolee 10,264 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I want to say Leeteuk since he's not really a great performer. He wanted to be an MC anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juu 3,359 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 you made the thread to shade this paruru girl, didn't you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliriousness 2,008 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Minho, he wanted to play soccer, and frankly he is a pretty good athlete. He still loves sports to death but, now SHINee has the world’s most perfect man within the group Also VIXX’s Leo, who was not sociable whatsoever in the beginning, but it actually became a charming point that helped make him the most popular member. He is a lot more outspoken and social now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoros_umbrella 11 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I honestly loved Paruru's "salty attitude." It's pretty funny. One of the biggest reasons she was one of my favorite members. And yea it really did make her stand out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerimolda 2,050 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Definitely Kyungsoo. He hates idol life so much even when he is such a good vocalist but he prefers acting Suga didn't have being an idol in mind either but it turned awesome as we know. Also I think that Jisoo didn't have idol life in mind but she ended in BP. And Solar became a trainee at 20 years old and it wasn't one of her future plans at first.
