The 98 contestants on the show were gradually revealed through profiles that provided detailed information about them. Also included in the profile are the role models each contestant had that inspired them to pursue their idol careers.

However, among them, there are 5 names of male Kpop idols that appear the most on these profiles and they are the most loved idols by the contestants. Specifically:

Next, the 4th most mentioned name in Boys Planet's records is EXO's charismatic and charming main dancer – Kai. He was also mentioned on six different contestant profiles.

Given his nearly decade-long career as a K-Pop idol and his status as an incredible performer, it's not too surprising that he's a role model for many trainees are trying to become idols. Kai possesses the ability to dance gracefully, charismatic and is considered as one of the Kpop artists with the best choreography Gen 3.

In addition, Kai's popularity for his personal brand as well as influence in the fashion field also made the Boys Planet contestants admire.

3. NCT Mark:

Just like Yeonchun, Mark is a name that has not been too long in the Kpop music industry. Despite this, he became the role model of the 7 contestants in the competition. It proves the saying that talent does not wait for age.

Mark is also a multi-talented Gen 4 artist and possesses a captivating performance that makes him worthy of admiration from the contestants.

2. BTS Jungkook:

The list would not be complete without a member of BTS - one of the top Kpop groups today. Jungkook is the second most mentioned K-Pop idol with eight appearances on the contestant profile.

The group's golden maknae continues to be an inspiration for others entering his tenth year in the industry, and his influence as an extraordinary performer. When the contestants chose Jungkook's typical songs, Dreamers and Euphoria were the two most popular names.

They also think that looking at the successes Jungkook has achieved at the age of 25 gives them more motivation to pursue an artistic path.

1. SHINee Taemin:

Finally, the K-Pop idol with the most mentions — appearing on nine profiles — is SHINee‘s Taemin. As both the oldest age-wise and experience-wise in the top five, his nearly fifteen years spent as one of the industry’s top performers and most notable dancers makes him well-deserving of so many people looking up to him!
