Being Korean myself, I appreciate that you brought up this topic. As K-pop becomes more and more integrated into Western mainstream culture, I believe that both Western and Eastern ideas of masculinity will begin to merge together. Separating the three "types" of masculinity into the Idol, the Lover, and the Father was a great way to illustrate the various masculine ideals that co-exist in Korean society today. In your description of the Idol, I think it may be useful to discuss the use of makeup by Korean male celebrities as that is a major critique that Western audiences make. It would also be interesting if there was a section showing how South Korean masculinity compares to American standards, just to give your Wikipedia topic more context in the broader picture.
