Has K-pop changed your ideal type in any way?

Question

It’s common to hear from my fellow female K-pop fans that their ideal type was changed by their biases. Factors such as fetishization and being a Koreaboo also comes with this topic, but that shall not be the matter here; has factors about your ideal type can be influenced by K-pop without any sort of fetishization or Koreaboo mannerisms.

I’ll firstly introduce my own fabulous K-pop influenced ideal type of my dreams:

None. Nothing. K-pop and K-dramas have made me realize that men vary in various ways and in their differences, they’ll even still be attractive. It also reminded me that expecting too much is ridiculous, these top tier men are very hard to come by even in Korea. Most of them are just normal people. Just like how there is only one Charles Leclerc, there is only one Im Jaebeom, one Yan An and only one Kim Youngkyun. All in all, K-pop has helped me be even more realistic about my ideal type.

All seriousness out of the way, I won’t lie; there’s no one that’s been killing it in the looks department like our K-pop boys. And I do love it when people go above and beyond to describe their K-pop influenced ideal type. So please go ahead, just for some fun and any possible convo that may arise from this shall be welcomed. All while knowing how to go back down to Earth.
