Top Idol Actor Is Shockingly Unrecognizable In Recent Photo

Shinhwa‘s Eric is going viral for his unrecognizable recent picture.

On December 13, an online post titled “Shinhwa Eric’s Shocking Recent Whereabouts” went viral.

In the post, the author uploaded a photo of Eric. In the picture, the actor looks unrecognizable in a black hat and black shirt.

Netizens couldn’t help but notice that Eric had gained weight. The actor’s once-chiseled jawline seemed to look much more generous in the picture.

Fans reacted to the photo and expressed their shock in the comments.

• I thought he was King Sejong on the ₩10,000 KRW (about $7.71 USD) bill.
• I think he has kind of let himself go, as usually celebrities wouldn’t take a picture like this. The reason for this is so that they can be comfortable when they aren’t working. The comments here are too much.
• Man United is burning.
• It’s not like we are worried about a celebrity’s money. There are so many stars who haven’t been the same since letting themselves go.
• Thought he was Ng Man-tat.
• He looks like a 50-year-old ajussi. I wonder if this is just a bad picture like it was for Hyori or if he really looks like that.
• He’ll return to form once he’s paid.
• I’d like to see the people on this post stand next to him, LOL.

Meanwhile, Eric is one of Korea’s original heartthrobs. The first-generation idol debuted with Shinhwa before making a successful transition into acting. Eric has starred in hit K-Dramas, Another Miss Oh, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Pheonix. The actor married his wife Na Hye Mi in 2017.
