Hyoyeon is alright for an idol, and certainly has more joy in dance than others, but I take it you've never seen real poppin.
Edit: Bonus because Marabout is just too good http://youtu.be/IOPCFxI6POs

Thanks for the recommendations guys, took the better part of the last day and a half reading through this thread. Sticking with T-Ara, FX, SNSD, and Son dam bi, and Miss A
Is being attractive a qualifier for being a K-Idol? None of these women are even remotely unattractive vs. people like Adele who can sing but aren't really that hot.

Pretty much. It's not like US/UK where you cut a deal with a record company after already being a performer, but these are agencies that hold auditions and a lot of people come in their early-to-mid teens and are trained several years by the agency to become a performer. The performer usually gets a large payment up-front and their life expenses are covered for their training days, but they have long-standing contracts o ensure a return on all those investments by the company. In this way, it's more similar to the Disney and Nickelodeon style of promotion but aimed at a much wider audience.Sebulon3k said:
The format is mostly due to how things were previously, where money to promote was limited so they were trying to get the production up to a level that is competitive with the rest of the world rather than take a risk on someone they didn't train/don't control. I'd say that now things are different for the larger agencies, and they have enough money that they could start to do things the way other countries do at least partially, but their control over the Korean market is too useful to put at risk in any sense and they are still in competition with each other. It makes more sense for them to keep their way of doing things and export to Japan and the rest of Southeast Asia, especially since the whole region seems very much into aesthetics rather than conveying a bold attitude (which honestly seems to be the only thing westerners care about).
Sebulon3k said:
Yeah, because the rest of the world is just shitting out unattractive idols. There are some examples, but no matter where you are it's going to be harder to make a breakthrough without the looks.
For the record, I do think there are a number of girls/guys in kpop who aren't all that attractive. Shindong (Super Junior) for example isn't exactly what you'd expect. I can't remember their names, because honestly I don't care about them, but at least 2 of the girls in wonder girls aren't what I'd call attractive either.
I think my point is, yeah it's going to be harder, but that's the same everywhere.
Alta1r said:Is there an easy way to tell which names are probably to certainly male and which ones are female for a non-speaker? So far I can't tell until I see a picture or someone uses a pronoun.
Hmmm I guess there are male and female names. After a while I'm able to tell pretty accurately from names, but I don't know if there is a way to tell without just becoming accustomed to them. :-/

For anyone else, this clip shows Jaesuk and Jihyo hiding literally 2 feet from Taecyeon behind their teammates. Great stuff
