WINNER‘s Kim Jinu has always been know for his stunning visuals.
With his doe-like eyes and small face, it is no surprise that multiple people have praised his looks throughout his career.

He even ranked fifth in the “Most Handsome” category of Ilgan Sport’s 2018 survey among idols.
Although he’s had his fair share of compliments, Jinu surprisingly no longer wants to be known for his “pretty face.”
The reason for this is actually simple—Jinu does not think it can last forever.
What charms do you want to show as a solo artist?
Because I’ve always had the handsome pretty image in WINNER, I want to break that impression. I want to get rid of tags like “Face Genius” because how long can you be a face genius for? (laughs) —#JINU_HEYDAY #JINU_CALL_ANYTIME

He agrees that while the visual image is a positive one, he wants to show more aspects of himself to the public.
— Kim Jinwoo actually has many other sides. I don’t know how to express them within WINNER so while doing this solo, I can show as many sides as I want to everyone.#JINU_HEYDAY #JINU_CALL_ANYTIME

Fans agree that he deserves to be known beyond his pretty face. With his soulful voice and hardworking attitude, it’s not hard to see why.
Not just the Bathtub Guy, Neol Johahae Guy, Video Clickbait Guy, K-pop Man, or Face Genius anymore. Today, everyone will remember his name is Kim Jinwoo. #위너김진우_또_또_또여섯시 #JINU_CALL_ANYTIME pic.twitter.com/exaXSchsTK

Jinwoo once said: "I might ruin those four kids lives if I don't do my best".
Right now, he's turning the happiest day of those kids even more happy, with his solo. Thanks Jinwoo for working hard always. We love you & we will always be here ♡#위너_김진우_솔로데뷔_8월14일 pic.twitter.com/FIssQHmvmA— jinu's solo ♡ cat (@winner_twt) August 4, 2019
