If you are a Kpopmap reader, you might have noticed a weekly series by the name of "Idol vs. Model" where we feature model-like K-Pop idols.

The series explores some of the idols who have so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols.

Here are the K-Pop idols that we have featured in our series so far.

The series covers a wide range of modeling types. Some of the idols are full-blown fashion brand ambassadors and some have the potential to make it big in modeling. Others look like high-fashion models or runway models, whilst some have a quirky model appeal. If you want to know more about what makes them seem like models, make sure to read their individual articles.

Note: This is not a ranking. This list is in order of the series. After the first article, the order was determined by a poll within each article. The series is still ongoing so keep an eye out for updates on this list.
