BTOB MinHyuk’s Instagram
MinHyuk is famous as a member of the vocally legendary boy group BTOB. They are known for their discography filled with nothing but hits and having some of the most endearing personalities as individuals and a group. MinHyuk is known for being an all-rounder and one of the aces in the K-Pop industry.
Firstly, MinHyuk has trended multiple times among fans for being one of the most handsome visuals in K-Pop. He has even been acknowledged by his peers, winning the title as the most handsome contestant on the Mnet show “KINGDOM: LEGENDARY WAR“.
He even trended in Korean media for his visuals remaining unchangingly handsome after being discharged from the military. While many idols tend to exhibit physical changes after their time in the military, MinHyuk remained the handsome prince that everyone knew him as before he enlisted.
