Gaeul IVE: JYP's "missing" idol, lackluster despite good choreography and actor-like visuals

Gaeul's beautiful face with harmonious features made the online community unable to stop praising her. Many people think that her appearance reminds her of (G)I-DLE's Miyeon and Yang Jiwon.

Gaeul's real name is Kim Ga Eul, born in 2002. Currently, she is a member of the Korean girl group IVE and holds the position of Main Dancer, Rapper and the eldest sister of IVE.

Gaeul was cast by JYP Entertainment when she was in 8th grade. She was trained by the company for about 3 - 4 years. In addition, she also possesses impressive Rap ability and shows off excellent choreography. However, by 2017, Gaeul left JYP Entertainment and joined Starship Entertainment in high school and trained with Yujin.

Gaeul became a trainee at Starship Entertainment company. After that, she was officially announced by the company as the second member of the group IVE.

Right from their debut, IVE quickly attracted attention with their uniform lineup. After being introduced to the IVE lineup, Gaeul quickly received many compliments for her outstanding beauty. In addition to the two names Jang Won Young and Ahn Yujin, Gaeul is a member who has received many compliments for her actor-like visual.

The female rookie born in 2002 has a gentle beauty, high nose bridge, and pretty lips. According to Allkpop , the female idol born in 2002 is said to have the combined beauty of Bae Suzy (Miss A) and Mi Yeon of (G)-IDLE. Gaeul's aura is also reminiscent of female singer Yang Jiwon. Many opinions say that Gaeul has many elements to become a potential actor if she ventures into the acting field.

Gaeul was criticized as a copy of Miyeon ((G)-IDLE)

In addition, Gaeul's past photos were also reviewed, and netizens continued to express their impression of the Starship girl group member's natural beauty. The female idol made people swoon with her beautiful beauty from a young age, especially her photo. Gaeul is also a rare Kpop rookie who was not criticized for going under the knife before debuting.

The management company representative said that the name Gaeul - autumn, is exactly like everyone's first impression of the eldest sister IVE. Female stars have pure beauty, different from other members in the group. Besides, she is also known by the stage name "bare face goddess". In a reality show of IVE, IVE members shared that thanks to her smooth white skin, Gaeul often wears a bare face when appearing in front of the audience.

Immediately after the Starship girl group lineup was announced, the name Gaeul quickly reached the top of searches on many websites. According to DC Inside , in addition to her strong appearance and rapping ability, she is also considered the member with the best dancing in IVE. The female idol joined a dance club since middle school and was chosen as a JYP trainee through a dance competition in 8th grade.

According to Naver , despite possessing both experience and skills, Gaeul is quite lackluster compared to the other members of the group. There is an opinion that the company is giving favor to Won Young so it does not create opportunities for other members to reveal their abilities, including Gaeul. On the other hand, Theqoo website commented that the debut song ELEVEN does not have many impressive rap parts. Therefore, Gaeul's role is not maximized.

Besides, the fact that Starship Entertainment is pushing Wonyoung too much makes Gaeul fade away and is now almost "transparent". When IVE was caught up in the attitude controversy, in addition to Wonyoung and Yujin being the two members with the highest traffic, Gaeul also received enough "criticism" because she was the eldest sister but lacked sophistication and did not greet her seniors. However, fans still expect Gaeul's talent and charisma to be revealed in the group's future comebacks.

Regarding personal life, in early 2023, Gaeul and male god Hyunjae (The Boyz) became two names that netizens were calling out in a love case among idols. From Hyunjae's suspicious messages on a messaging application, netizens raised questions about the male idol having something with beauty Gaeul (IVE).

Accordingly, Korean netizens searched Hyunjae's series of messages on an application to send messages between fans and idols. In two controversial text messages, the handsome male group The Boyz repeatedly mentioned words related to IVE's name. When asked about his favorite season of the year, Hyunjae did not hesitate to answer autumn. Worth mentioning, Gaeul's name also means autumn. Not stopping there, Hyunjae also innocently revealed that he wished that in The Boyz's fandom there was someone named Gaeul.

Notably, both of the above messages were written by Hyunjae on Gaeul's birthday. Stringing together the data, many netizens speculate that Hyunjae is secretly sending a message of love to beauty IVE, and there seems to be something between the two idols.

However, many fans believe that the above messages were taken out of context, so they are just coincidence and do not show that Hyunjae was referring to Gaeul (IVE).
