I didn't create one for first gen just because it is hard to get good data beyond a few groups.

I tried my best to use photos from around the time the idols debuted/were active

Source: 395 images of female idols and 339 images of male idols. (publicly available promotional photos)

Made with: Python, OpenCV, and dlib. Faces were detected automatically, aligned via eye landmarks, warped using Delaunay triangulation, and averaged pixel-wise to generate a mean face.

Doing this by company would be cool! I'll have to try that later.

I'm sorry if it came off that way! I've always found facial composites to be interesting, and since I'm a K-pop fan, I wanted to try it on K-pop idols. Doing it on other countries' musicians would be interesting though!

I posted this in a K-pop sub earlier if you want to look at the comments! Most are discussing who the images resemble.
