But netizens really seemed to disagree.

Ahn Jung Hwan used to play soccer for the South Korean national team.

He was the second striker on the team. In two FIFA World Cups, he scored three goals, including a golden goal against Italy.

But it wasn't just his skills that made people love him back then. Ahn was also very popular because he looked like a model.

Because of his long hair and well-shaped face, he got a lot of fame, almost as much as A-list actors and idols.

Even when he didn't have a lot of followers on social media, his pictures got so much attention that he ended up modeling for many brands.

As South Korea's first "flower boy" soccer player, it was only a matter of time before Ahn's past popularity was compared to Cho Gue Sung's career path.

Netizens in Korea started talking about whether or not Ahn would be as famous as Cho if he were at his best right now.

Most discussions seemed to come to the conclusion that Ahn's visuals would have made people from all over the world go crazy if he had had the technology we have now.

But the man himself says something different.

Ahn has become a performer and a sports broadcaster after he retired in 2012.

He also has a YouTube channel on which he and other people talk about soccer.

In one of these videos, Ahn and Kim Sung Joo started talking about Cho Gue Sung.

During the conversation, he told Ahn that he thinks Cho is much more attractive than him because Cho has scored more objectives than Ahn.

"If you can play soccer well, you're pretty. He looks better than me now that he has scored two goals." - Ahn Jung Hwan.

Ahn then said, "I was attractive in 2002, and Cho Gue Sung is attractive now." But people on the Internet don't seem to agree with what he says about himself.

Jung Hwan hyung… I know you mean well, but nobody is able to beat you in looks.

When Ahn Jung Hwan was at his best, he had the best looks of any athlete in our country, not just among soccer players.

Ahn Jung Hwan was the best in Asia.

This kind of confidence can only arrive from somebody who knows they are the most handsome person in the world.

How humble of him! Ahn Jung Hwan's looks will always rank among the best in the history of Korean soccer.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
