I don't want to criticize your taste or your choices, obviously.

But the one thing that confuses me a little is like... it's not like One Direction or whatever are super masc, are they?

[hamimi_fk]

But it's not like One Direction makes themselves 'pretty' and almost androgynous with make up and stuff like the guys in many k-pop bands do. =)

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair!

I think it just confused me a little with the "bro" thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP and not a big kpop fan but while I wouldn't call many boybands super masc but they definitely do the bro thing where they 200% like sexy girls, have to be cool and masculine, and think being cute is for children. There's a certain offputting macho insecurity about that

Kpop has a "no homo!" problem which is just as big as boy bands do, but they don't have an issue with men being cute or pretty or graceful, which is not linked to being "gay"

[ketita]

Echoiing what hamimi_fk said. The "pretty" factor in Kpop is huge. I was at a performance by Shinee that had Taemin (their main dancer) with long hair and a miniskirt over pants.
Also, in general, the image that they try to project for these bands is more romantic, I think, and sensitive. It's a fairly nonthreatening form of masculinity, imo.

I just really wouldn't think to describe Harry Styles as a bro, I guess

[ketita]

I wouldn't necessarily say he's a bro, and I'm not super familiar with One Direction, but just compare a google image search of him to, say, Lee Hongki. I just think that the image of Kpop stars tends to be less masculine in the Western sense, and the aesthetic definitely includes more makeup and elements of cuteness and whatnot.

[comma_chameleon]

I think I'd describe 1D's aesthetic (from what pics I've seen of them) as 'seventeen year old at a mall'. So... kind of bro-ey in a sense that it's casual but still very 'guy' but not like... gym-bro, which is what always comes to my mind when I hear the word bro.

1D were like boys next door. Justregular good looking teens. Not pretty or androgynous.

Backstreet boys and Nsync were more broish.
