Pop Quiz: The perfect body

0826-ksw1

This is the body of perfection. The picture speaks a thousand words and most of them are incoherent like……….. DANGGGGGGGGG

It is (un)fortunate male stars today are under pressure to look good these days. Before, a little flab on the body didn’t hurt anyone, but now, the number of hard-bodied men are increasing around us -thank goodness because this means more eye candy!!

    Nice pic PopSeoul, yeah the pressure is there but if you want to be the number one stunna You gotta outstun everybody. LOL the only part about kwon’s body I dont like is his skinny bottom half. Top is banging and then you go down further and he is waif thin. I am like balance it out a little more.

    Does popseoul ever focus on anything other than the looks of celebrities? SO Korean I must say. No wonder so many people in Korea get plastic surgery…in Korea.

    How about some movie review or some analysis of Korean arts and culture besides superficial review of hair, legs, muscles, etc.? The endless review of body parts is getting boring.

  7. 7 Booyah! August 28, 2007 at 6:56 am

    My god~~…..that’s a freakin sexy pic of KSW!!
    DAAANGGG indeed XD

  8. 8 get real! August 28, 2007 at 6:57 am

  9. 9 Jena August 28, 2007 at 6:59 am

    it says at the top that it’s about entertainment, style and beauty in seoul. i enjoy reading all of the posts, popseoul is doing a great job.

  10. 10 Laura August 28, 2007 at 7:40 am

    How I wish that would have been Gong Yoo.

    Too bad Kwon Sang-woo’s face doesn’t match his sexalicious body.

    -_-

  11. 11 rach August 28, 2007 at 7:45 am

    GAH. I knew it! But I’m currently in my Coffee Prince gaga stage so I said Gong Yoo…. x] I wish that our favorite boy bands *ehemDONGBANGERRSehem* will feel the same pressure and start working out as well. LOL.

  12. 12 Seola August 28, 2007 at 8:35 am

    Rach I agree with you 100%… although JJ looks like he does work out and Max looks like that too… Xiah a bit… but Xiah is cute haha..

    Dang that body is fine~!!!

  13. 13 shine[heart]kangin August 28, 2007 at 8:44 am

    oooo daaang!!! that’s preety hot! ahahaha!

  14. 14 Vanessaly August 28, 2007 at 8:50 am

    LOL, just as I thought “the body is ‘Hot’ but the face ‘NoT’

  15. 15 charmagne August 28, 2007 at 9:01 am

    i guessed it right!!! my gosh he is so HOT!!!!

  16. 16 stran August 28, 2007 at 9:40 am

    omg, WOW. just wow.

  17. 17 Amy August 28, 2007 at 9:40 am

    DAMN! I have to say, I’m glad that these men find it important to be fit. I’m not a feminist, but while most women in the entertainment business feel the pressure to be thin, a lot of guys slack off in the fitness department, so I’m glad to find that some men think it’s important to look good for the ladies.
    On a side note, Jaejoong (of TVXQ) used to look like he worked out a lot, but nowadays he’s looking way too scrawny. Actually, I hope that he’s just being lazy instead of it being a real health problem. Yunho’s lost weight in the good way, though.

  18. 18 damnnnnnn August 28, 2007 at 9:40 am

    getting old.. u can tell he aged but he looks goooood

  19. 19 abc123 August 28, 2007 at 9:52 am

    damn..that is a nice bodie..yeah he has aged, but still has a body of a young good lookin fella..

    oh..its gettin hot here..lol..heard that he won the title for best male body again-not sure, but, with that body, who can say no to that…

    hwaiting…

  20. 20 Jane August 28, 2007 at 10:00 am

    I saw this picture at Shenyue, thats how I knew. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have known.

  21. 21 ed August 28, 2007 at 10:18 am

    anyone past 30 looking that good has a lot to be proud of. but…what about that incredible shrinking head! guess there’s no workout/surgery for that!

    for his own good, i hope he spends just as much time working on his acting tho. younger guys could knock him off the throne pretty soon.

  22. 22 Dan August 28, 2007 at 10:21 am

    Damn i wish i had body of his ,i have no muscle definition at all mad flabby.

  23. 23 SF August 28, 2007 at 10:29 am

    @Oppa
    Well, because the website is called POPseoul.
    And if you’re wondering why this site doesn’t talk about Korean culture and art – check out the title bar, I think it succinctly states the intentions of this blog.

    In any case, for someone who abhors non-superficiality, you’re pretty superficial yourself, judging an entire nation of people on the basis of one celebrity gossip website.

    As for your observation on the amount of plastic surgery in Korea, I don’t know what you consider to be “so many”….but let me direct you to Nationmaster.com.

  24. 24 disay August 28, 2007 at 10:33 am

    he’s sizzling hot!

  25. 25 ed August 28, 2007 at 10:46 am

    SF: love the URL. thanks!

  26. 26 Dumpling August 28, 2007 at 11:01 am

    Honest to GOD, I would not want to touch that body. It’s too bad this ripped, six-pack body type is the stereotype of masculinity in the West and elsewhere. I can’t stand it. It is too much. Too hard, too defined and not intended by nature. Personally, I like a little cushion when I want to cuddle up. I like squeezable men the best–really cuddly ones.

  27. 27 fifi jang August 28, 2007 at 11:05 am

    THE best bod’ among the korean actors..!!
    i can wash my clothes on that abs…Saw him in person and he’s even yummier!!

  28. 28 erica21 August 28, 2007 at 11:15 am

    this comment is for OPPA…

    you’re questioning why the heck this site dont post about those things you’re saying well… dont read or dont go to this site if you are not satisfied with popseoul’s post, because many people are enjoying reading this site…

    p.s I know you have the right to tell what you tihnk or tell youre suggestions, but before giving such comments read the header first:POPSEOUL! entertainment and style…

    peace:D

  29. 29 christaluvsdrama August 28, 2007 at 12:16 pm

    Omygosh!!! I really thought that was Won Bin oppa, if you’ve seen a pic of oppa you would’ve thought the same thing. I have to say Sang-woo oppa really got more muscular, he was always a nice shape, but now its so refined. hehehe another one of my EYE CANDIES hehehe

    @OPPA
    I agree with erica21. Maybe this site isn’t what your looking for. If you want reviews why don’t you go to Soompi or something. Also, you said “Does popseoul ever focus on anything other than the looks of celebrities? SO Korean I must say. No wonder so many people in Korea get plastic surgery…in Korea.” Ignorant comments are really not needed, I don’t get how some ppl can be so contradictory. You want to know more info on a drama series or movies and our culture, but you want make a ignorant stereotypical comments. I really don’t want to get into a debate/argument with another person on ‘plastic surgery’, so I’ll just say this. Really think about what your going to write next time or better yet don’t say anything.

  30. 30 Pualani August 28, 2007 at 12:19 pm

    I would have never thought that body was his. Totally different! I noticed a lot of guys now building muscle mass…started with BYJ now Kwon Sand-woo. Yea..its ok to build a lil muscle mass since they’re more concerned about their weight and health, but I hope they’re doing it the right way. Not over doing it by workin out too much, not eating healthy/right & taking supplements & other OTCs to build the muscle.

  31. 31 ---- August 28, 2007 at 12:31 pm

    freak! He just keep on looking better everytime :D

  32. 32 Jane August 28, 2007 at 1:19 pm

    damn straight i got it right lol

    ironic how masculine his body and face looks, but then when he speaks you hear a higher-pitched voice than what you’d actually expect lol

    ahhh such a hottie.

  33. 33 Dan August 28, 2007 at 2:31 pm

    Oh man i need to go back to gym,pump some iron.

  34. 34 Nhi August 28, 2007 at 2:35 pm

    Holy smokes Batman! Even though his body isn’t my type, but it’s sexy.

  35. 35 CanDance August 28, 2007 at 2:40 pm

    that’s my man! Hot!

  36. 36 CanDance August 28, 2007 at 2:42 pm

    and to think he’s turning 31 yrs old soon

  37. 37 Scrappy August 28, 2007 at 3:56 pm

    31 is not old!! but he does look older than 31, doesn’t he?

  38. 38 at4shi August 28, 2007 at 4:34 pm

    Oh… He`s so hot…

  39. 39 Naqiyyah August 28, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    Wowee!! Hotness!! :D

  40. 40 junsufan August 28, 2007 at 5:30 pm

    i got it right!! Kwon Sang Woo !! =D What a hottie..*drooolllsss*

  41. 41 OMG! August 28, 2007 at 5:40 pm

    ksw is pretty fit. not as vascular but for an asian guy, that’s a pretty hard body to get. he’s got a nice frame with broad shoulders. that helps with the v-taper. what i really want to know is what his back and legs look like. flat back+chicken legs=all show no go. byj on the other hand probably has the most well rounded and well proportioned body among korean actors… remember people, if you live a healthy, active life style, your body shape will adapt itself to handle the stresses. in other words, you get a rockin’ body as a by-product of being active. if you work out just for vanity, you won’t necessarily be healthy nor will you get a rockin’ body. oh, btw, six-pack abs are made in the kitchen. all the crunches and situps mean nothing if you have high body fat percentage. so put down that damn twinkie, go outside and do something physical for a change instead of whining!

  42. 42 natalie August 28, 2007 at 10:40 pm

    nice healthy body. but i also belived it was my dream hubby gong yoo. oh well…..gong’s body is better the whole pakage!

  43. 43 noelinha August 28, 2007 at 11:21 pm

    hot hot hot!!!!!!!!!

    I love so much Kwon!!^^

  44. 44 pelican August 28, 2007 at 11:58 pm

    Am I the only one who don’t quite fancy this? I’m sure KSW put alot of effort into it but I still prefer Gong Yoo’s recent body shape in Coffee Prince. It’s leaner but still muscular without being oppressive hehe.he

  45. 45 mawee August 29, 2007 at 4:46 am

    i know that I love him~~~ hah perfect body!! am dying here haahaa

  46. 46 fizzlex3mh August 29, 2007 at 5:42 am

    wow, people are surprised it’s KSW?
    i’m pretty sure only Kwon Sang Woo has that “body of perfection”.
    or maybe i’m wrong..Gong Yoo looks pretty good too, body-wise, although i’ve always thought of him as a tiny man. haha idk. i just couldn’t associate him with the picture.

    anywho, KSW looks AMAZING. AND i like his face. i never get tired of seeing his shirtless pics.

  47. 47 tangy August 29, 2007 at 5:50 am

    my mouth is hanging out…..fans herself……omg niiiiccceee

    but i think i prefer his body and not his face

  48. 48 DDUUUHHH August 29, 2007 at 5:52 am

    I KNEEWWW IITT!!!
    even before looking at the picture i was like,
    “duuhh..i bet it’s Kwon Sang Woo”
    OMIGOSH!! he has theee hottest bod on earth!!!
    oowwww…

  49. 49 Dan August 29, 2007 at 7:45 am

    you know i am not racist, but its hard to believe that Asian dude can be muscular.’Cause most of them not that muscular ,well i guess genetics is’t everything.
