7 K-Pop Idols With Charming And Unique "Whisker Dimples"
Dimples are usually known as cute little accents to a smile that appear near the corners of the mouth. Idols with dimples include BTS’s RM and TWICE’s Chaeyoung, among many others. There’s a type of dimple you might not have heard of though – whisker dimples! Whisker dimples appear on the tops of the cheeks near the nose, just like a cat’s whiskers. They’re a unique and subtle addition to a smile. Here are a few idols with charming whisker dimples!
