BTS’s V is officially the most handsome man in the world for 2024! The K-pop star has once again proven that his stunning visuals are unmatched, as he claims the title of “The Most Handsome Man in the World” in a global poll held by Shining Awards.

V beat out 50 male celebrities from around the world to secure the top spot. The poll, which ran for 10 months, saw over 2.44 million votes cast, and V emerged as the winner. He even outshined major Hollywood stars like Timothy Chalamet, Chris Evans, and British singer Zayn Malik, all while representing K-pop on the global stage.

But the honor doesn’t stop there! V’s victory isn’t just about his good looks. The Shining Awards will donate the prize money in his real name, Kim Taehyung, to UNICEF, showcasing his heart and kindness alongside his undeniable beauty.

In addition to his win in the global poll, V also ranked No. 1 in Nubia Magazine’s '2024 Most Handsome Man in Asia: The Man Who Makes Asia’s Heart Race' poll. V took the top spot after months of fierce voting, defeating other Asian stars like Bollywood’s Hrithik Roshan and Ranveer Singh, and Thai actor Win Metawin. The magazine recognized V for his global influence and the way he makes fans’ hearts race across Asia and beyond.

This marks the second consecutive year that V has been named “The Most Handsome Man in the World” by Nubia Magazine—he first won the title in 2023 with an astounding 7 million votes from 163 countries. V surpassed big names like actor Luke James Page from Bridgerton and pop star Justin Bieber to claim the crown.

V's journey to the top began in 2017 when he became the first K-pop star to rank first in TC Candler’s ‘100 Most Handsome Faces in the World.’ His win broke the mold of Western beauty standards, proving that Eastern culture could define what is truly handsome.

V’s charm is undeniable, and with each new title, he continues to win the hearts of fans around the world. His influence is not just about looks, but also about his personality and the positive impact he has globally.

Super Junior’s Shindong has opened up about his breakup after three and a half years of dating.

On the April 1 episode of SBS’s Dolsing Fourmen, Super Junior members Shindong and Eunhyuk brought their signature humor while discussing everything from weight loss struggles to dating and even retirement jokes.

During the episode, Tak Jae Hoon jokingly pointed out Shindong’s fluctuating weight, making him laugh. “People always ask me, ‘Are you in the process of gaining or losing weight?’” he said.

Eunhyuk was also asked if he was dieting for Super Junior’s upcoming 20th-anniversary activities. “Even the members don’t know,” he replied. Meanwhile, Shindong shared something unexpected, saying, “This is the first time I’m saying this—I actually quit drinking a week ago. I just started, so I’m not at the stage to talk about it yet.”

Eunhyuk then addressed a past comment where he jokingly promised to retire if his first solo album won first place. “I didn’t expect to win, especially since IVE was my competition,” he admitted. But to his surprise, he did win, leading fellow member Donghae to even hold up a “Retire” sign at the celebration, making everyone laugh.

Shindong also pointed out an interesting fact about Eunhyuk’s win. “Nowadays, idols release digital albums, so their album sales score is zero. But Eunhyuk had high physical album sales, and that one factor pushed him to first place.” Hearing this, Tak Jae Hoon teased, “No excuses—just retire,” to which Eunhyuk laughed, “It was fun while it lasted.”

Later, while joking about idol visuals, Shindong playfully said, “Honestly, Eunhyuk is the ugliest idol I’ve ever seen,” making everyone burst into laughter. Eunhyuk also shared how he was once called anchovy for his slim figure but later earned the nickname muscle anchovy after working out.

The conversation then shifted to Super Junior’s wealthiest member, with Eunhyuk confirming that it’s none other than Choi Siwon. Comedian Kim Jun Ho added, “I once asked Leeteuk for Siwon’s number, and Leeteuk said, ‘Wait, I need to ask him first.’” Shindong explained that Super Junior members are now extra cautious because of past incidents where a fan impersonated someone and leaked their phone numbers.

When it came to dating, Shindong was asked if he had ever revealed or been caught dating. “I got caught every time. I’m just not good at hiding it,” he admitted, making everyone laugh. Eunhyuk agreed, “Yeah, he doesn’t really try to hide it.” Shindong clarified, “I don’t purposely expose it, but I somehow always get caught.”

Then, Shindong unexpectedly dropped some personal news. “Speaking of updates, I actually broke up with my girlfriend last April. Since I didn’t announce it, people kept leaving comments asking if I got divorced.”

Lee Sang Min was surprised, saying, “But last time you were on Dolsing Fourmen, you said you had a girlfriend.” Shindong confirmed, “Yeah, we broke up. We dated for about three and a half years. It was tough, but we decided to support each other’s paths. It was a good breakup.”

Meanwhile, Eunhyuk surprised everyone by revealing that he shares his phone password with his girlfriend, shocking the other cast members.

With Super Junior’s 20th anniversary coming up, fans are excited to see what’s next for the legendary group.
