For the beauty standards of K-pop, girls who appear with outstanding height and slim bodies
will always receive more attention.
However, although they do not have the desired height, these female idols below have always
been considered among the most attractive ones.
IU
I bet all fans would agree that IU is too young and gorgeous at the age of 28.
She has a very soft yet beautiful type of beauty.
In fact, IU fits in with many criterias of Korean beauty standards with big eyes, fair
skin, and full lips.
When seeing IU’s pictures on her SNS account, do you think she is one of the shortest idols?
Many fans think the multi-talented girl has a height of 162cm but in 29th episode of SBS
'Strong Heart', IU revealed her actual height, which was proven to be 161.7 cm.
Although she does not have the advantage in terms of height, she still knows how to make
her legs look elongated by wise choices of clothes and photo angle.
She often chooses fit clothes, especially short skirts.
IU also shared that when taking pictures, she often put the phone down a little bit,
about the position of the belly, and slightly tilt the lens.
Through a few photo frames, many people are fooled that IU was 170cm tall.
Short girls, remember and apply this when you take pictures!
Irene
I think there is no introduction needed when talking about Irene and her incredible visuals.
Since her debut until now, it seems that Irene has never once disappointed fans with her
beauty and ability.
Whether the concept is innocent, sweet or seductive, she nailed it perfectly.
However, height has never been her forte when she was only 1.58m tall.
Not only is she the shortest in the group, but she is also often in the top "shortest"
female idols in Kpop.
When Irene stood next to other idols, especially male idols, fans could see how tiny she was.
In fact, male idols like Chanyeol or Jin, who are all at least 180cm tall, are 20 centimeters
taller than Irene.
Even amongst girls, Irene is still shorter and smaller.
Check out this picture of Irene and Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung taken at an amusement
park, for example:
Not to mention, in Red Velvet, Irene is so tiny compared to some other members despite
being the eldest, especially Joy.
Although she does not have an ideal height, Irene is still the most sought-after name
in Kpop with a photo collection that captivates both fans and nonfans.
Through Irene's magical pose, no one thought she was that short.
Irene only needs to use a few photography tips to “transform” her body into a well-proportioned
one with long slender legs.
The secret here is, Irene would prefer sitting poses rather than standing ones, which would
hide her weakness in height.
She also often wears short and tight outfits to show off her slim figure.
Looking at these photos, who would ever think Irene’s height is under 160cm?
Yeri
Yeri is the next member of Red Velvet to join the Kpop “shortest female idols” group.
She has always been known for her youthful, dynamic style which matches her age of 22.
Possessing an appealing beauty but Yeri is only 157cm tall.
Just like Irene, when standing next to Joy and other fellows, Yeri looks extremely “smol”,
possibly like a high school student.
However, she can totally nail the seductive style effortlessly as long as she wants.
In one photoshoot, Yeri was seen wearing an off-shoulder white dress with a deep V-line
neck that revealed her collar bones.
Yeri chose to match the asymmetric white dress with pointed heels which completed the alluring
look.
We all can see how Yeri gave off a more mature vibe in these photos as she fully blooms her
gorgeous visuals.
Yeri always appears with a fresh, dynamic appearance, even her petite figure helps her
look more lovely.
The thing is, Yeri knows how to choose clothes that enhance her body proportion and minimize
her modest height.
Above-the-knee skirts and pants will always be at the top of Yeri's selected items.
Also, Yeri's creative way of posing does help her look taller in fashion photos.
Soyeon
Soyeon's girlcrush vibe and charisma totally matches her image as one of the best rappers
in K-Pop.
She can easily mesmerize fans with how cool she appears to be.
Possessing a strong personality and always looking super fierce on stage, but once she
steps backstage, Soyeon becomes a lovely, gentle girl with a height that is completely
inversely proportional to her talent level - 157cm
In a girlgroup where most members are over 160cm, Soyeon suddenly becomes so small when
standing near her groupmates.
Despite that, Soyeon has a fairly well-proportioned body as a “compensation” for her not-very-ideal
height.
The female idol is always capable of attracting a lot of eyes whenever she appears in different
concerts or press conferences thanks to her naturally strong aura.
The key to that is Soyeon’s wise choices of outfits and shooting angles that can enhance
her figure and height.
Dahyun
The story of which member is the shortest in TWICE is still a big mystery when many
sources are still confused between the exact heights of Chaeyoung and Dahyun.
Considering the many photos taken together, as well as interviews and TWICE's profile
channel, it is possible that Dahyun is the shortest member of the group with a height
of 158cm (exactly 158,6cm).
Meanwhile, Chaeyoung is about 159cm tall.
Not only famous for her glowing white skin, TWICE's Dahyun has many times caused a fever
with her super sexy hourglass body.
Dahyun's model-like proportions create the illusion that she is taller than she really
is.
And despite her petite appearance, Dahyun is still not afraid to wear all types of clothes
and show off her sexy figure on stage.
Looking at this behind-the-scenes photo of her advertisement, you can clearly see the
ideal body of Dahyun with a flat belly, abs and an extremely small waist
There are many female Kpop idols who also have the dream small waist, but very few possess
such full hips and thighs like Dahyun, which compliment her waist even more.
Wendy
It's a fact that the girls of Red Velvet are all so adorable and a bit “smol” as Wendy
is the third member to appear on this list.
Wendy used to be quite chubby, then the female idol successfully lost weight and attracted
a lot of fans as her appearance gradually became prettier than before, making everyone
jealous of her slim body and admirable .
However, Wendy is the shortest and lightest member of Red Velvet as she is only 155cm.
Standing next to other members, sometimes Wendy looks like a maknae, and she’s always
put first in the line as well as given the highest high heels to minimize the height
difference.
And this is the legendary moment when Wendy looks strangely small when standing next to
Chanyeol (EXO) with a height of 185cm.
Despite possessing a below-average height, not a single time Wendy feels low self-confident.
The female idol always knows how to make herself taller as she often wears short outfits that
fit her body and wise mix-and-match such as croptop with ankle-length pants.
Any short girl who wants to dress stylishly, you can learn some tips from this adorable
girl.
I’ve just named 6 female idols who are considered amongst the shortest idols of K-Pop.

confidence, fashion style and outstanding talents

Are there any other names that should be added to the list?
