Greta Gerwig’s Barbie took the internet by storm when several posters revealing the cast members for the movie were uploaded on Twitter. With a huge cast full of superstars, it’s understandable K-Pop fans started feeling like their idols could very well have been in it!
Many started making similar posters with idols they felt fit the characteristics a Ken needs to have. Meanwhile, others shared photos and videos of their favorite idols looking like Ken or “displaying Ken behavior.” Though there are hundreds of edits out there, here are 10 male idols that K-Pop fans feel fit Ken’s character the most.
1. EXO’s Kai
With his recent cute and sexy visuals from his viral “Rover” stage, there’s no reason for Kai to not be considered a prospect!
