While South Korea’s former president was no stranger to attention, the country’s new leader is already making a name for himself — or at least making a name for his handsome bodyguard.
The fact that Moon Jae In just took office has been largely overshadowed by the fact that his bodyguard is handsome. Like, you-just-walked-into-a-lightpost handsome.
The first photos of him were posted to Korean web portal Daum, and immediately devoured by an insatiable Internet.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
He’s been identified as Choi Young Jae, a 36-year-old Special Warfare Command officer.
Twitter user @Elena_Yip reposted the photos to her profile and quickly racked up more than 30,000 retweets.
@elena_yip @mostlymartha Why is he so stunningly handsome. Is that safe???

I could see him in movies. Nice face, and since he’s a special warfare officer, I assume nice body too.

Well the king has to be a raging queen judging by those photos of him in that crop top so it’s no wonder he has chosen some eye candy as his bodyguard.

I think South Korea is a democratic republic, so they only have a president, who’s the one who hired this hot bodyguard.

I so want him to tackle me #tiemeup
