To those unfamiliar with K-pop, the physical aesthetics of male idols may appear at first glance ‘soft’ or perhaps even effeminate. For K-pop fans, however, the idols simply represent another masculine aesthetic. Another frequent misinterpretation of male idols’ onstage and even off-stage aesthetics suggests that they represent an alternative – or perhaps even a threat – to normative Korean masculinity. In fact, onstage performances of K-pop masculinity should be understood primarily as part of the K-pop genre’s wider visual aesthetic, which may or may not be emulated by young men, but which are certainly not intended to redefine hegemonic masculinity in Korea . Closer inspection of how aesthetics are utilised in K-pop music videos soon reveals that what initially may appear as ‘soft masculinity’ signifies what could be more accurately termed ‘soft-hard’, designed to appeal to multiple potential audiences. K-pop is, after all, produced for the consumption of fans and, as such, it aims to reach the broadest possible audience.
