A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru), is a Japanese female model who primarily models in magazines, especially those marketed to men, photobooks, or DVDs. Gravure idols, in most cases, emphasize their sexual attractiveness and often model in swimsuits.

Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences. Though they never appear nude, their poses are seen as semi-provocative.

Gravure models may be of any age but usually range from their late teens to their mid-twenties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

Gravure models are commonly photographed wearing bikinis or lingerie, but may also appear wearing schoolgirl uniforms, Japanese street fashion, and kimonos. Since 2008, ZAKZAK magazine has awarded a Gravure Idol Award.

The word グラビア (gurabia), used in Japanese to describe female models of this kind, is derived from the English-language term rotogravure, which is a printing method that was once commonly used in the production of illustrated magazines. The modern meaning of the term "gravure idol" is thus loosely "magazine model", a reference to the medium in which most of the idols gain stardom.

BYUN BAEKHYUN

When you search for “천재아이돌” (Genius Idol),
Baekhyun is the one who pops up!

The reasons Why BAEKHYUN is the “Genius Idol” of Korea.

Baekhyun impressed K-pop enthusiasts more as, despite his short training (6 months), he was selected as one of EXO’s main vocalists— later on rises as K-pop’s “Vocal King.”
Speaking of vocals, Baekhyun’s steady progress was flaunted through his majestic voice.

Baekhyun also captured the general public’s attention after boasting his deep voice as he sang the national anthem in 2013 and 2018, for a tram evaluation match and IOC General Assembly, respectively.

Not only the vocals but also the dance is amazing. In particular, it is a rare thing to have a main vocalist that can also pass as the main dancer. However, Baekhyun is the exception.

Baekhyun who first presented his solo works with the romantic R&B vibe of "City Lights",
"Delight" with a cute, sexy, dandy, and refreshing concept,
then "Bambi" which challenged his music spectrum in his 30s.

With the mentioned attributes, Baekhyun skyrocketed as a "One-Top Solo" idol.
For his second-mini album, Baekhyun set a milestone by achieving his first million-seller as a solo artist with the album, the first artist to achieve this record in 19 years since Kim Gun Mo in 2001.
With "Bambi" as well, the top star once again set a new record after earning the highest pre-order sales (868,000 copies) by a Korean solo artist and already becomes a second million seller with "Bambi".
천재아이돌 “Genius Idol” is not something his fans came up with. Byun Baekhyun is titled THE “Genius Idol” because gp and other artists sees what he’s capable of.
