So which of these 10 female Kpop idols will be the perfect Queen of Joseon (Jungjeon Mama) in historical dramas?
Gantaek: the Queen Selection Process
A true fan of Korean historical drama (sageuk) will definitely be familiar with the process of Queen selection or gantaek. It is where the Joseon royal palace arranges daughters and nieces from middle-to-high class families to participate in the selection program as the King’s wife or royal Queen of Joseon (Jungjeon), just like how it is in the drama “Queen: Love and War”.
And today, let us take another trip in the imaginary land of ancient Joseon. On the day of the Queen Selection (gantaek) process in the historical sageuk dramas, these 10 female Kpop idols will join as the participants. Each of these ladies has her own story to tell and goals to achieve. Therefore, please enjoy the scenarios and let us know which of these ladies will finally make it as the Queen, in your opinion.
10 Scenarios for Female Kpop Idols in Historical Dramas (Sageuk)
1. BLACKPINK Jennie
First, we have BLACKPINK Jennie, the only daughter of Joseon’s Chief State Councilor. She’s extremely famous in Hanyang due to her high intelligence, beauty, and grace that no other noble ladies / aggashi can even match her. However, deep down in her heart, she just wants to be free from her father’s grasp, living her life to her own will.

2. TWICE Dahyun
Secondly, TWICE Dahyun enters the screen as the proud niece of the Right State Councilor. She seems cold-hearted on the outside, with eyes piercing every man who tried to get close to her. However, due to the high pressure of being the second choice of the family, she keeps striving and trying her best in everything she does while hiding her true feelings at the same time.

Everyone was astonished by her exquisite and unique beauty! MAMAMOO Hwasa joins the gantaek as a mysterious aggashi who successfully runs her family trading business.

5. Kim Minju
Here comes another powerful family! Kim Minju enters the gantaek as the eldest daughter of the Left State Councilor. She was once close to the King when they were children but grew apart because her family began opposing the King’s ideas. Despite having no feelings for the King and refusing to participate in the gantaek, as the good daughter she is, she couldn’t go against her father’s order.

Next, we have TWICE Tzuyu as the daughter of Queen Mother’s distant relatives. Ever since she was a child, this aggashi was raised in Ming, but her family asked her to return to Joseon to join the gantaek. Therefore, she gladly accepts the family request because apparently, she’s been planning to return and find her missing father. And she can only do it by becoming the Queen.
