The 2nd Generation Idol With Such Heavenly Visuals That Even His Fellow Member Couldn’t Look At Him

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.

In fact, he was so beautiful that Yesung had a hard time looking at him, as if he were too good looking for mere mortals like him to stare at.

In the past, I was like, I couldn’t even look at him.

Living up to their reputation as a group of sassy members, Yesung quickly took back his words. He went so far as to claim that Heechul is “not as handsome” anymore

Now he’s in the mortal realm. He’s not as handsome now.
