The top 4 Idol groups who looked best in ‘Hanbok’ for Lunar New Year

There were many idols who shed their fierce stage personas and dressed in their traditional hanboks for the Lunar New Year. Their refined and elegant image was a pleasant change for fans, but OSEN picked the top four idols who best displayed a completely different side of themselves.

# B2ST

The boy group who won some noteworthy awards at the year-end award ceremonies in 2011 tossed aside their charismatic stage ensembles and dressed in soft, pastel-colored hanboks for the new year. They looked like young boys as they bowed to their fans, and the boys remarked, “2011 was a joyful one for us, because of all the love and support we were given. We promise to improve ourselves as a group in 2012.”

# 4Minute

The girls of 4Minute are known for their sex appeal, but they looked lovely and feminine in their brightly-colored elegant hanboks. In the unveiled photos, the ladies melted the hearts of their fan boys with their adorable facial expressions and the members who are preparing for their album release next month said, “Our new album release is just around the corner. We will work to show you new sides of ourselves with this new album, that we have yet to reveal before.”

# T-ara

The ladies of T-ara are sweeping the charts with their new song “Lovey-Dovey,” but they transformed into lovely young brides for the Lunar New Year. Like B2ST and 4minute, the girls swapped their fierce and sexy stage personas for modest and lovely hanboks, catching the attention of their fans. The girls struck adorable poses for the camera and held a big check as they wished their fans much blessings and wealth in the New Year.

# TEEN TOP

The boys of TEEN TOP who have melted the hearts of their noonafans with their new synchronized dance to “Going Crazy” put their charismatic charms aside and greeted their fans in lovely pastel-colored hanboks. The boys looked pure and innocent as they smiled for the camera. TEEN TOP captivated the world when they revealed their new song “Don’t Wear Perfume” last year, and are broadening their fan base day by day. This year, they are determined to shed their ‘boyish’ image and become charismatic, powerful men in 2012 with their new song.
