The Bodyguard

[+ quoththeraven]

First saw this on Twitter, but lo and behold there are articles on Kpop sites about it: one of the security agents for newly-elected South Korean president Moon Jae In has captured public attention because of his good looks. If this were a K-pop group, he'd be the visual.

Sorry, I didn't find any mention of his name, which may be non-public information anyway for security purposes.

He does look like a Bond-esque character assigned to protect the president of a country. In my version, he meets the ex-model who was forced to marry the president and an immediate sexual attraction results.

Very cute, thank you for sharing!

Twitter is losing its shit over those photos. As a Kpop fan, I yawn because I can see beautiful men like these in music videos whenever I want.

Kim Seokjin, BTS, who I saw in concert in March. And I'm not even including my favorite member of the group in this picspam!

All very handsome, but for me, it's still Kai of EXO, hands down (or hands on...in my dreams).

You're right, I forgot about Kai! Still the only person in EXO I can identify by looks.

So here's the only K-pop idol I'm sexually attracted to despite him being only a year older than my daughter: Suga of BTS, birthname Min Yoongi, solo rapper name Agust D.

It's because he writes and performs music like this:

(This is someone else's video of a concert I went to.)

And this:

He had no compunction about using sexual imagery in his lyrics. He's also been open about his struggles with anxiety and depression. Powerful stuff.

The bodyguard whose photos started this thread has been identified. He's Choi Young-jae, 36 years old and a ten-year veteran of Special Warfare Command.

The link to the Korea Times article, which is more detailed, no longer works, but Buzzfeed has published shirtless photos of Choi.

According to the now-missing Korea Times article, he headed an all-volunteer security detail for now-President Moon during the campaign. He is not President Moon's bodyguard. During his stint as head of security for candidate Moon, his wife was the sole source of family income. They have two daughters.

Sorry for the quasi-hijack, but...

BTS's V is a scrumptious lil' morsel. I do admit that Jin is probably the most perfect-looking of all the boyzes -- most especially in profile -- but V is damn pretty and not even my bias. That honor goes to O He of the Dimples, Kim Namjoon.

This is what V (Kim Taehyung) looks like.

He's definitely the trickster of the group, as can be seen in the "Real War" version of "War of Hormone."
