To celebrate the Gemini season, EnVi is highlighting five Gemini K-pop idols. For those unfamiliar with astrology, Gemini is the third astrological sign of the Western zodiac and occurs when the sun travels through its constellation from May 21 to June 21 each year. Gemini is one of the three Air signs of the zodiac, along with Libra and Aquarius. Air signs are known for their skillful communication and love for exchanging ideas. They are ruled by freedom and have the need to explore wherever the breeze of the air takes them, making them quite adventurous.
The Caring Twins are the Gemini symbol and represent the Air signโs innocent, caring nature and value for communication and affection. Geminiโs desire for social interaction makes them very outgoing and their energy is unmistakable. They have an innate curiosity that can make them quite impulsive and almost childlike. Their free, youthful expression also shows in their quick wit and ability to make anyone laugh.
Despite their carefree nature, Geminiโs are intellectuals. They learn very quickly and are expert adapters in most situations. They are very well-spoken and knowledgeable due to their inclination to exchange ideas and always inquire more out of curiosity. In addition to intellectual exchange, Geminiโs value physical touch and tend to be very loving and affectionate to those they care for.
HyunA – Soloist
In true Gemini fashion, HyunA continues to show her adaptability and charisma while maintaining her individuality. Over her 16-year-long career, HyunA has explored her artistry through several concepts and evolved her personal style to be utterly unique.

In a recent Instagram post, HyunA is posed in front of an abstract painting that evokes her signature qualities. The art and her beauty look illustrate HyunAโs distinct and enigmatic style.
HyunAโs recent album Nabillera, a Korean phrase meaning โfly like a butterfly,โ embodies what it means to be an Air sign in Western astrology. Lyrics from the high-energy title track โNabilleraโ like, โI see a โbubbleโ then I โpopโ it with my edge,โ highlight the impulsive nature of Gemini, as well as pay homage to HyunAโs iconic single โBubble Popโ from 2011. In the bridge, the lyrics โAnd you know that she young and wild and freeโ highlight the youthful energy of HyunAโs persona. The accompanying music video features butterflies sprinkled throughout, flying free amongst the vibrant scenery.
In addition to her appearance, HyunAโs personality is also airy and cheerful. During her appearance on No Prepare (2022) with rapper Lee Young-ji, HyunA proudly shows off her pastel and neon-colored, single-use hair ties. She is met with light teasing from Young-ji who jokes โYou really are like a 12-year-old kid.โ Fans were also charmed by HyunAโs cute demeanor with one commenting โ[She] is really sweet and genuine.
