Dad mode has been activated.
Most male South Korean pop idols have a reputation to maintain when it comes to performing on stage and being with their fans. Oftentimes, they have to act manly, tough, and strong, which attracts many fans far and wide and ends up with them being labeled as “hot.”
And despite their reputation for being the boyfriend material every fan wants to attain in their lifetime, some Korean pop idols reach the level of “husband material” when they show their softer sides which are often shown when they interact with kids.
Take a look at some of the cutest interactions of K-pop male idols who will make great dads in the future in this gallery.
Trigger warning: maternal instincts will intensify.
GOT7 member Jackson Wang epitomized the ultimate husband material when he took care of kids Haohao and MeowMeow during his stint in the Chinese variety show 'Let Go of My Baby.' Fans were able to see how caring he is while tending to the kids' needs and is not afraid to teach them valuable lessons at the end of each day.
If your #1 rule when looking for someone to say “I do” to is “great with kids,” then look no further than SHINee's Minho. There have already been numerous accounts of how Minho showed his love for children -- like in 'Hello, Baby' or 'The Return of Superman' -- proving that he is good at stealing hearts of all ages.
Like the cutie pie that he is, BTS's Kim Taehyung, also known by his stage name V, has always had a sweet spot for kids. Many ARMY would attest to his natural ability to draw children with his charm, including the time where he cuddled a little girl during a fan sign.
MONSTA X's Hyungwon showed that he is capable of taking care of kids when he, along with other MONSTA X members, babysat children in their variety show 'Monsta X Ray.' In the bit, one of the kids clung to the K-pop idol while he was sleeping, prompting the singer to say, “He felt more like a son. I want to be a parent.”
SEVENTEEN's Mingyu's cuteness is elevated whenever there are kids around him. He even showed his adorable nature around them during his bit in 'Nephew TV in My Hands' despite the kids preferring Jeonghan at first.
Whether it's for a good cause like UNICEF or hanging around with his niece, Super Junior's Siwon is definitely the family man you'd want to meet at the end of the wedding aisle.
