CRAVITY’s Seongmin goes viral after taxi driver mistakes him for a woman
CRAVITY’s Seongmin is grabbing attention online after sharing a recent story where a taxi driver misgendered him. The driver reportedly said,
“It must be hard for your boyfriend to keep up with you, miss.”
Seongmin revealed this happened during a call with a female friend, and the driver assumed he was a woman due to his delicate visuals and longer hair.
Since debuting under Starship Entertainment in 2020, Seongmin’s soft features have sparked similar confusion before. Netizens noted his voice and speaking style are also very feminine for a male idol, adding to the mix-up.
Fans chimed in with stories about Seongmin’s looks, recalling times when even groupmates mistook his gender. One member shared,
“Some woman was staring at me really intensely… it turned out to be that member. I didn’t even recognize my own groupmate — and apparently even got the gender wrong.”
Others pointed out how his selfies with short hair made him look like a girl with a pixie cut.
“Even the way he talks, his gestures, his expressions — everything gives off the vibe of a girl in her 20s,” a fan commented.
Seongmin’s soft, friendly voice combined with his pretty eyes only fuels the confusion.
The incident highlights how diverse idol visuals blur traditional gender lines in K-pop, with Seongmin now at the center of online buzz for his feminine charm.
