His gorgeous looks are precisely what makes every fan nervous when they see him. After all, it would be like looking directly at the sun. During a recent fansign, a fan asked him for a way to stop being nervous around him. He gallantly put himself down to help ease the fan’s nerves.

I asked Wonbin for a way to not be nervous when I see him, and he said, ‘I’m nobody; I’m just a country bumpkin.’ What? You?

Others disagreed violently.

Can’t believe he said he’s nothing with this face.
