A Senior Male K-Pop Idol Is Rapidly Gaining Fans Thanks To His New Muscular Physique, And We Totally Understand Why

MONSTA X‘s Hyungwon has many new fans!

Though he’s always been a hot topic for his visuals ever since appearing on the survival program NO MERCY, his looks only keep getting better with age.

The most recent characteristic about him that netizens are loving is his bulked up physique. Especially when wearing plain t-shirts, his muscular arms were clearly visible.

Koreans couldn’t help but praise him, saying, “I seriously love him,” “How can his waist be so slim but his shoulders be so wide?” and “What is this? Is he human? His proportions are crazy.”

They also reiterated one of the most common compliments that he receives: he looks like the male lead of a romance comic book.

Hyungwon had a slim frame for most of his career. After hitting the gym more regularly, not only his fans but also his friends and trainers were happy to see his growth.
