5th Gen Boy Group Visual Hierarchy 'Shin-Won-Ho'... Spotlight on TWS Shin Yu, RIIZE Won Bin, CORTIS Geon Ho

If the visual genealogy of 4th generation girl groups follows the 'Jang-Ka-Seol' line (LOONA Jang Won Young, AESPA Karina, NMIXX Seol Yun), then the 5th generation boy groups are establishing the 'Shin-Won-Ho' line with TWS Shin Yu, RIIZE Won Bin, and CORTIS Geon Ho, according to Sports Korea. Shin Yu, leader of Pledis-affiliated TWS, boasts a model-like physique with 52cm broad shoulders and golden proportions, characterized by pale skin and sharp jawline that creates a trendy handsome image. He captivates fans with contrasting charms—resembling a desert fox when expressionless but a puppy when smiling. Recently, following the viral success of 'Overdrive,' TWS achieved their highest ranking on Melon's TOP 100 with 'Meeting You Again Today,' demonstrating unstoppable momentum. SM Entertainment's Won Bin possesses three-dimensional features combining androgynous handsomeness with shoujo manga aesthetics, characterized by horizontally elongated attractive eyes and a sharp jawline. As a core member handling vocals and dance, he adds his crisp and distinctive tone to SM's classic vocal technique, creating irreplaceable presence at song climaxes. Won Bin considers his greatest strength as his inherent 'atmosphere' and aura. These artists are reshaping the global music industry landscape with their exceptional visuals and solid skills, establishing themselves as next-generation global icons gaining attention from fashion and advertising industries.
