A man is defined by the size of his shoulders and these Korean actors have the dreamiest shoulders. Read on to find out.
There is a Korean term called, 'eoggae ggangpae', which refers to men with dreamy shoulders as 'Shoulder Gangster' in Korea. A man is defined by the size of his shoulders and dreamier, the better for us, fans! A shoulder is symbolic of strength and reliability and a man with nice broad shoulders are seen as genuine, trustworthy and dependable. From Lee Min Ho to Hyun Bin, we narrow down our top choices for Korean actors with the dreamiest, 'Shoulder Gangsters' of the K-drama industry.
1. Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho stands tall at the towering height of 6 ft 2 inches! Fans who have watched the actor since his Boys Over Flowers days will recount that he has only gotten better with age! A particular stand out scene in his previous drama, The King: Eternal Monarch was when he rides his horse Maximus in full-glory to rescue the future queen of Corea, Jung Tae Eul, played by Kim Go Eun. The well-fitted black suit and jacket particularly highlighted his beautiful, broad shoulders.
2. Hyun Bin
The actor who last portrayed a tough but kind-hearted North Korean officer, Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok, quickly climbed to the top spot of every woman's 'dream man' list. The tall and handsome actor looked debonair in the military uniforms and the various suits he donned in Crash Landing On You. His well-toned physique coupled with his height accentuated his dreamy shoulders well!
3. Kim Woo Bin
He may be on a hiatus, but fans cannot forget his gorgeous physique in a shirtless scene from his 2014 drama, Uncontrollably Fond. Kim Woo Bin, undoubtedly has one of the finest physiques in the Korean industry and even though, his health hasn't been the best for a couple of years now, he still has 'gangster shoulders', and there is no denying that!
4. Park Seo Joon
