haerin is the most cat like idol ever 😹
FR 😭😭
Real
haerin is literally so cat coded and i love her for that.
@@flowersherbet she is a cat soul stuck in a human body 😿
right 😭 she's the epitome of cat
Haerin is the definition of cat idol
Yesss and Sungho from BND! Hehe
for the cat eyes, it's not just the shape but the brow line and cheeks as well. rounder features give that "fluffy" look that's associated with cats, when the same eyes on a flatter face give a more fox-like appearance
Hadn’t thought of that. Good point!
JUNGWON 😭
@@maxadamdorJUNGWONIEEEEEE
this is really true! i just realized this is why some people say i look like a cat, too. because if the fluffy look and the eye shape i have
yess yeji gives off fox vibes for example
Haerin is the cattiest cat-like idol to ever cat
when newjeans debuted,I instantly liked Haerin because she looks exactly like a cat. The cattiest of the cats, Kang Haerin. She just standout the most among them (imo)
Omg yeah the cattiest of cats is definitely haerin
Don’t insult cats like that by comparing cats to a hideous ogre.
U mean haerin..?
@@vixxexo6855Jealousy is a disease
@@vixxexo6855girl u better not be calling haerin a hideous ogre🤨 she’s so gorgeous
id love a breakdown of Haerin eventually since you've done 3 of the NJ girls. shes such an enigma, i love her so much.
Ya me too
Yesss
exact same thoughts!
Finally Haerin! My most favorite idol!
Hanni as an iphone is just reasonable🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯

Haerin is the epitome of being a cat.
I think it's something like this:
- Hyunjin is a tuxedo cat
- Kyujin is an Orange cat
- Haerin is a black/grey stripped cat
I don't know much about Hyerin (yet) and Jungwon, so please if someone sees this comment tell me what type of cats you think they are :3
haerin is a gray cat w blue eyes
Hyunjin is a bengal cat because she's so chaotic
What about Yeji
@@La-PetitMortShe's a fox not a cat
Jungwin is probably a ragdoll cat
Hyunjin was assigned a fursona by corporate 😭
ACAB (Assigned Cat At (loona)Birth)
Haerin kitty kang
Haerin is the most cat she flicked her hair in a livestream a thousand times
I dunno what the videos gonna say but the moment i saw Haerin, CAT was the first thing that popped into my head. She's also the only one my sister can tell apart cos i described her as the one that looks like a cat ❤❤❤ i love her
i love haerin cat truthers uniting in the comment section. she’s such a mysterious creature. you just can’t help but love her.
I love slightly bizarre kpop videos. Sometimes a bit of unseriousness is what we need. Please make this video, in the future, but for other animals like rabbit, dog etc kpop idols because I thoroughly enjoyed this ;)
Yea this is truely unique keep 'em coming 😅
More Haerin please
About the cat eyes thing, I think something you missed is the sharp inner corners. With all the idols you listed, the inner corners look almost cut or carved, which is definitely unique to the “cat eye” look, and helps enhance their feline like qualities. It’s also much more common in East Asian eyes generally, as I rarely see it in other races, so it helps give the idols a unique identifying feature of their “Asianness”, for lack of a better term. Also Haerin, in particular, has a very unique eyelid fold/crease that cuts into the inner portion of her eyes and arches into a double eyelid at the outer corner, which _really_ makes that cat like slant.
Another feature that goes unmentioned is very prominent, outward ears. This is mostly something I noticed beginning from Chinese beauty standards, as it helps your face look smaller (supposedly), but with the cat like face it really draws attention to the large ears that resemble a cat. Once again, this is really noticeable on Haerin.
Curved lips with a prominent Cupid’s bow certainly helps a lot in resembling the :3 face of a cat, but it isn’t necessary, as big lips _can_ be catlike as long as the shape made by the mouth is similar to the triangle of an open cat’s mouth.
Finally, I think the cat like appearance is made by their face shape. A smooth face shape that is most wide at the temple/eye region and then tapers into a pointed chin _really_ cements that cat look. It’s important it’s not _too sharp_ as cats require some facial fat and cuteness, but too much facial fat detracts from the cat face.
Kitty haerin!!!
Kang hearin 😺😸😹😻😼😽🙀😿😾
Haerin is so cute ❤❤❤❤
jungwon and haerin
Same😺
Haerin attend to always copycat the other members
Jungwon got the prettiest pair of feline eyes. And he has habits like cats do too! He's the most cat-like idol in whole K-industry
And fyi there's always a cat picture that look identical to every Jungwon's photo or everything he does. Sunghoon also said he resembles a munchkin cat but he also resembles a Ragdoll ☺️
I love jungwon eye and his cat habit lol
kitty kang
I am here just because of kang haerin . She is the epitome of cat idol 😂
I'm still waiting for haerin idol deep dive!!
my cat Haerin and my dog Dani are the perfect combination 😍
today i discovered most my biases are cats...
samee😭
Gurl same.
kitty kang haerin🐱❤️
i love how nct jaemin’s government assigned fursona was a rabbit for so long until a lot of fans started saying he totally gives cat vibes (from the facial features, and that he’s introverted but still a silly guy like loona hyunjin). now he uses cat and rabbit interchangeably bc he knows that has fans are basically split 50/50 on what animal he is😭 some fans even call him a baby snake which i actually find so cute
Let me hear your cat idol bias and why they became a cat! I couldn't cover everyone but it'd be cool to have every cat in the industry represented here.
Lee Know from Stray Kids.
Okay he’s not officially a cat but he literally has 3 cats, fulfills the appearance criteria/“cat eyes”, and the personality criteria- unique/weird/independent introvert with a “savage” streak. He’s sort of semi-officially a cat in that him and Felix are CatRACHA (recognized by SKZ-CODE editors, who also caption him as a cat sometimes). Also he has fed stray cats multiple times in their SKZ-CODE episodes to the point their staff always have cat food on hand in case he finds one.
The reason their’s no cat SKZOO is well because Lee Know and Felix are CatRACHA and someone decided having 2 cats (which could even be different colours because real cats come in many different coat types) was simply not ok, so we got 1.5 rabbits instead. (Leebit for Lee Know and Dwaekki for Changbin, which is a pig-rabbit hybrid he created, resulting in the .5 rabbit.)
Also Stray Kids I.N is semi-officially bread. His official SKZOO is a fennec fox but the members still refer to him as bread, his face-stickie thing in the CHEESE MV thing has bread written on it in Korean, and he’s part of CarbsRACHA with Hyunjin and Seungmin (Hyunjin = flour, Seungmin = rice, I.N = bread. SKZ subunits/RACHAs are an insanely complex mess, there are loads of established ones and 154 possible ones. Yes, I legitimately once got so bored I calculated how many unique 2-4 person combinations there were in a group of 8.)
Also BT21 aren’t representative animals, you are not telling me that a COOKIE is an animal. Likewise, 2PM’s ZooPM includes a banana, which is just infinite levels of “whoever did this had even less fact-checking capability than the guy who accidentally printed Yoda into a Saudi history textbook.)
Thank you for actually reading my stupidly long ramble if you’ve made it this far.
exo's xiumin defenitly!
TEN from NCT🐱🐱🐱
Very sad to not see yeji 😢
Fr
Yeji has cat emoji but everyone says she looks way more like a fox
@@sososoeynah i’d say chaeryeong has a fox face type not yeji
@@nnnn-sc2im idk why chaeryeong's animal is 🦊 when she doesn't have fox eyes.
@@nnnn-sc2im
Not true it's the other way around
i've also seen people saying yeji seulgi and wonwoo have cat eyes which is interesting because unlike the idols mentioned in the video they're small and slit-like? go figure 😭😭(tho i agree)
JUNGWON HES LITERALLY A CAT IN HUMAN FORM
TRIPLES MENTIONED ❗❗❗🔥🔥🔥
yo did you know he has a whole video on triples??? it's really fun lmao!
@@everybodysayaeong they deserve all the recognition
@@trqndz FACTS.
This video was really fun and a surprising way of doing an analysis on idols, loved it😊
This was inevitable. I was waiting for this one too! Great video ❤
Extra points to Min Yoongi for hating water😭
Haerin is an intp!
Really unique video!! Interesting to hear your personal perspective on what makes a "cat" idol. I always thought most people just assigned certain idols the cat because when they think of a cute animal, it's usually a cat, dog or bunny. I think more idols should just have a mascot character that's only something like CONCRETE.
i def didn't expect this to be a serious video but i love it
Theres literally an inside joke for Haerin where people just take her NewJeans Green ppg look and dubbed it with her part “Lukisa Niumi😊, Suixirap husdis 😮uribwa 🆕👖, so fresh so clean🥺 ” and put cat emojis around her
*"Look it's a new me, switched it up who's this"
He didn’t include STAYC’s isa 😀
JUNGWON IS LITERALLY SO CUTE LOL😂
stayc's Isa its kinda a cat too, love the video
Yes! I was hoping when I saw the thumbnail for this that my lovely Isa would be here too. In any case, loved this video @BenAtmos 😸
Feed us more new jeans content I’m eating it up!!!😻
The odds of you seeing this are so slim, but I just wanted to say how great this channel is. I just stumbled across it and have been marathoning the videos. It’s so rare to find a kpop CZcamsr who isn’t focused on click bait and is overwhelmingly negative. These kind of deep dives you do are so fun! And I appreciate your genuine appreciation!
Thank you! Means a lot 🙏
STILL WAITING FOR HAERIN IDOL DEEP DIVE
Jungwon and haerin are the most cat like idol imo
I was going to flip a table is Loosseble's Hyunjin wasn't on this list!!
There is also StayC's Isa!!!!!
Only Haerin and Yeji are similar to cats imho.. I thought this vid is about Haerin.. 😭
Cuz of the thumbnail 😅
Kitty Kang being the cattiest cat idol ever
Haerin is the catiest cat idol never and no one is changing my mind ‼️💪🏼
Haerin es literalmente un gato super mona
The song choice fits so well. Plus it's underrated too😭
Haerin is definitely the blueprint, I'm sure more companies will try to imitate her visuals in the future.
Jungwon's behaviour to his appearance is literally a cattt
Haerin my pretty kitty! also check out a dorky cat Handong of Dreamcatcher and the beautiful Yeji (also a dragon and fox?) who everyone should know
Handong behaves like a cat but doesn't actually look much like one, at least not by Korean stereotypes.
"my"?
Yeji is THE cat idol‼️‼️
amazing videoooo
Literally JUNGWON 😭😭
Fr
I noticed they're somehow always good dancers if not the best in their group lol
tripleS on top thank you Ben 🛐
Jang Kitty's Ango Maknae (sly cat maknae) name was given to her by Haewon predebut. Jang Kyujin is known for switching between a small kitten 😼 and a big cat 🐯 persona on stage. Off stage, she's an excited little kitten who likes to play a lot.
This video made me laugh so much HAHAHAHAHHAA sadly, as a jungdeundan, idk when Wonie started introducing himself as a cat ☹️
A research and explanation that i didnt know i need😂😂😂
commenters don't sleep on Hyunjin... that's the OG cat right there
real
not to nitpick but, lynn actually is represented by a cat too! she said on Fromm that her representative emoji is both a shark and a cat
i think another big part of is it cat-like mannerisms; like the way haerin stares at her members/blinks at them, or (not included in the video) stray kids lee know's sharp reflexes. at the same time, "cat behaviour" is pretty hard to measure objectively. i also agree with the cute+fluffy/sharp+cold contrast being a part of it. felines are cute at first glance, but they can be genuinely intimidating at times. this sort of dichotomy probably adds to their catlike image.
i also want to mention that in lee know's case, his designated animal is a rabbit, but he's more often referred to/poses as a cat. pretty interesting.
HYUNJINNNNN THE QUEEN
I like the 5:15 where hyerin thought it was her name but it was haerin🤣
jungwon was wearing the sheep custom bcs his names in korean means sheep garden if I'm not wrong 😭 I'm sure we and he also considered himself a cat since the start
my fave cat idol is Juyeon from tbz. He gives a sexy black cat image that's pretty rare, he's 98 line which has the tiger zodiac basically a large cat and cats really like him for some reason they're always calm with him lol. He's also very flexible 😂
Also tbz have a bread member too 😭 I didn't know there was another in kpop that's funny
Actually what is it in some k-pop fans where they look at a person and go “AH YES THEY’RE B R E A D”
like aside from SKZ’s official animals (SKZOOs), Lee Know/Felix are unofficially cats and I.N is unofficially bread.
@@mandyyao8250 I've seen sometimes it's bcos of soft big cheeks
@@lilacbuni okay…
(Wait did STAYs or SKZ come up with the whole I.N is bread thing first because if it’s SKZ perhaps they’re just looking for an excuse to aggressively squish him without repercussions.)
NEXT WHAT MAKES A DOG IDOL PLZ!!!
Heejin is also bread
As I’m scrolling through the comments of this video…
What the hell makes people think another person is literal bread?
TripleS ShiOn, The Boyz Younghoon, LOONA Heejin, and (semi-officially?) Stray Kids I.N… like what went through the k-pop community (or their members or their staff or whoever)’s minds in the process of deciding that they should be represented by bread?
@@mandyyao8250 i have no clue how to answer what makes an idol bread, but this comment is just referring to hyunjin saying "heejin is bread" in an old fancall haha
From a human to immovable object? 😅
New Jeans Haerin attitude, her move, and her reaction are Cat, you can watch her stage , she catch flying dust on stage , also on IU pallet show 😂😂😂 all in video, Haerin doesn't want to disturb when in rest , everytime back stage video only she is missing and rest at own corner 😊 she frequent in her own world , she is brave like cat , on stage she will never get scared by the stage explode confetti, she like to explore and curious on everything, 😂 and most funny she like to copy others memeber she can copy exactly in just a second 🐈
She like silently stare on others ppl , you can see the latest MV behind the scene video she silence stand between 2 talking member and her mouth like cat shape " 人 " 🤣🤣🤣
Please do rabbit 🐰 hanni
yeah Shion is really a bread
Cool, now to the real cat leader ✨HWANG YEJI✨
she's not a cat she's a whole panther
@@zacangeror Fox?
A big silence to midzys who called Yeji and Charyeong cats
Please do an idol deep dive on an nmixx member!! It would be very interesting!
This is great
Jang Kyujin my favourite cat idol ever! She is so cute.
haerin 🥰🥰
If you wanna make puppy version, i recommend Yujin ive (golden retriever), winter aespa (maltese), kazuha le sserafim (samoyed), chaewon le sserafim (poodle). For male idols i don't know much about them but jeno nct dream (samoyed) and jake enhypen (golden retriever). Don't ask me why, i just can see it
for the shoutouts, you should have included p1harmonys soul, who’s emoji is🍟, or vcha lexi, who is either 🧀 or 🦖
I broke down laughing in the end 😭😂 Haerin my baby Kitty! Kang is my ULTIMATE bias and she so cuute 🥰
Haerin and jungwon are the most catest idols ever
Can you do bunny???
i feel like the company should've just let the fans decide the animals from an pre-approval list after they debut or something, cause sometimes there's a huge disconenct to the idol's variety persona and the animal assigned
it doesn't feel geniune at times
Haerin is a real cat😂
Should have added a 6th criteria: food. I bet some of them eat Whiskas 😂
4:35 does the idol on the right look like lu xuan in the untamed to anyone else or is it just me??
haerin is like a black mysterious cat while kyujin is orange cat (you know what I mean)
kyujin is more like white/grey cat to ne
Jung-cat is so cute ☹️😭
The fifth one killed me, I was not expecting that.
"Cats are cats because of Jaden Jeong" IM DEAD. 🤣
i wish you would have put yeji TT😭anyways they are all the cutest cats!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Itzy yezi..
also p1harmony's soul who's just a potato
