BIGBANG was a huge K-pop group during their active years, often considered one of the acts that helped spread the Korean Wave overseas. They also tend to get dubbed as the “Kings of K-pop”, acting as the precursor to BTS, another hugely influential K-pop boy group that will be making two appearances later in this list.
All the BIGBANG members had their solo ventures, including Kwon Ji-yong, known by his stage name G-Dragon. G-Dragon is a highly successful singer, songwriter, and rapper, as well as a business entrepreneur, fashion designer, and record producer.

Created By Kreditsdue
- No additional packs required

BLACKPINK is a four-member South Korean girl group who — much like some of the other groups we have talked about — are considered to be leaders in the Korean Wave surge. Debuting in 2016, BLACKPINK became an iconic K-pop group with multiple hit records and solo achievements.
Roseanne Park — known as Rosé — was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, but is based in South Korea. Along with being a member of BLACKPINK, she has also had a successful solo career. This Sim of Rosé was made by Simmer Kreditsdue, and the design recreates her classic, blonde-haired look. K-pop stars are known for changing their hair frequently, and while Rosé has had various other styles, her blonde hair has been a consistent look.
The Sim also recreates Rosé’s soft features perfectly, to the point where the look of the Sim is scarily accurate. BLAKPINK's popularity means that there are lots of Sims based on the girls in the Gallery, but this Rosé Sim is a standout choice.
2 Lee Jieun/IU
Created By BOKMOONSINJO
- Expansions Required: Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, and Get To Work
- Stuff Packs Required: Paranormal and Laundry Day
- Gallery Link
Lee Jieun - stage name IU - is a South Korean soloist and the only person on this list who isn't part of a group, having always been a solo artist. She has achieved an incredible amount in her career, which began in 2008 when she was only 15.
IU has been recreated here by Simmer BOKMOONSINJO, and the accuracy is impressive. The facial features are perfect, from the symmetry of her face to the shape of her nose and lips and even the amount of space between her eyes. For IU fans, this Sim recreation is the go-to IU Sim in The Sims 4 Gallery.
1 Kim Taehyung/V From BTS
Created By BOKMOONSINJO
- Expansions Required: Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Discover University, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, and Get To Work
- Game Packs Required: Vampires
- Stuff Packs: Paranormal
- Gallery Link
Last but not least is another Sim from BOKMOONSINJO, who has recreated Kim Taehyung from the aforementioned boy band BTS. Taehyung — known by his stage name V — is a well-established artist both within BTS and as a soloist.
V has a face that is hard to recreate due to just how stunning he is. He often makes appearances or even tops lists of the most handsome men in the world, so it’s easy to see why it would be challenging to recreate him. BOKMOONSINJO has managed to do so quite well though, fully capturing V’s likeness.
Not only are the Sim’s facial features finely crafted to look as close to V as possible, but his outfit and even his pose are very in line with V’s enigmatic and edgy charm. BTS fans should head to The Sims 4 Gallery right now to download this incredibly impressive V Sim.
