EXchange 2‘s contestant Jeong Hyun Kyu already created a stir when he strolled on screen. Netizens soon found out about his elite background. Not only was he enrolled in the prestigious Seoul National University, he was also preparing a start-up. He also was middle school friends with NCT‘s Jaehyun.

Recently, he created even more of a buzz with his Instagram update. The update included a series of casual late night snaps on film.

Regardless, netizens were thrilled to see him at his visual peak.

He could knock any boy group member out of the water.

Netizens also compared the photos to a photoshoot that an idol would do.

They likened him to celebrities such as Song Kang and Infinite‘s L. A repost on a community site soon hit over 50,000 views.
