This is one of the many reasons i love him. korean men have this assumption that the men have to be a ‘saeng namja’ aka ‘manly guy’ to be attractive, thats why there are so many idols who constantly try to convey to the fans that ‘im very manly’ ‘despite my image im very manly’ but the thing about V is that he admits that he isnt manly and he isnt embarrassed by it. he looks so much more beautiful being true to himself and shooting male stereotypes in the head. i dont know how to phrase this right without contradicting myself but, he is a real man to me.
