It's not just with K-pop or C-pop, J-pop is also the same. Every male singer has boyish, teenage looks.

Very interesting, thanks for putting this class online :)

2:57 male Kpop idols aren't dressing "feminine" to make some kind of social statement about gender or whatnot. They are contracted to be performers and canvases for entertainment companies to style and market. Their companies dress them that way for performance and commercial purposes kinda like models in the fashion industry. Male idols don't usually dress as flashy and with makeup when they're not performing or working. It's more toned down.

Pop culture is the same the world over. Male teen groups have always been pretty looking and wore make up.
