A certain celebrity was so handsome back in the days that some people couldn’t bare to look at him.
Super Junior‘s Heechul is a second-generation K-Pop idol who debuted in 2005. He sported long hair for most of his career, giving him an ephemeral vibe that was uncommon back in the day and even at present.

In an interview on Radio Star, he partially attributed his attractive appearance to his low weight at the time. He is now 40 years old and 70kg (154lbs), and though he still looks handsome, he knows his visuals are slightly different compared to how they were two decades ago.
When I debuted, I was 56kg. Now, I’m 14kg heavier.
