@elena_yip Me: "Oh, THIS old thing? Help me up, won't you? The 5:14 is about to pass through..." 

 Moon Jae-in was elected South Korea’s new President on Tuesday but all eyes are on one of his handsome bodyguards. 
 
 The election comes after Park Geun-hye, the country’s first ever female president, was impeached over a corruption scandal. 
 
 Moon defeated Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Jun-pyo and the People’s Party’s Awn Cheol-soo, but many netizens are distracted by his bodyguard’s dashing good looks. 
 
 excuse me this is the new korean president’s bodyguard pic.twitter.com/aIJVhZjo28 — elena yip (@elena_yip) May 12, 2017 
 
 According to Seoul.co.kr, his name is Choi Kyung-ho, but Korea Times identified him as 36-year-old Choi Young-jae. 
 
 Choi was an officer with Korea’s Special Warfare Command, Moon’s campaign office said, adding on May 8 that “He is ‘unfortunately’ married and has two daughters.” 
 
 But that did not stop online users from being thirsty AF, with some pointing out that he looked like an actor filming a movie, Allkpop reported.

 @elena_yip Do not make a sexist comment, do not make a sexist comment…he “looks” very capable. pic.twitter.com/BtNcHFw87f — myusrnamistakn (@myusrnameistakn) May 12, 2017 
 
 We volunteer as tribute. 
 
 Our body is ready to be protected. 
 
 His peek-a-boo game is straight FIRE. 
 
 Cool guys don’t look at cameras. 
 
 Unless they’re trying to show off their good side. 
 
 Several fanfics will probably be written about Choi. 
 
 @elena_yip he looks like the square-jawed serious romantic lead, who’s going to be his plucky heroine who accidentally captures his heart… — Yulin Kuang (@YulinKuang) May 12, 2017 
 
 If the criteria to join the South Korean president’s security detail is to look this fine, then some people are all for it. 
 
 @elena_yip This makes perfect sense. Any potential attackers would be too distracted by his looks. They’d stop dead in their tracks. He is a gift😍😍 pic.twitter.com/9BXdD53CFX — CarolynH. (@CarrieCnh12) May 12, 2017 
 
 While Choi is smoldering hot, he isn’t the only one getting all the attention in South Korea. 
 
 It turns out that the whole darn Cabinet is quite good-looking. 
 
 Commenting about the “handsome brigade” a netizen said, “I surrender to this ‘reign of beauty’ with no objections.” 
 
 One person commented, “He will be the first handsome president of Korea.“ 

 This bodyguard is so hot — he’s going to need his own protection! 
 
 The internet is going gaga over newly elected South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s bodyguard, hailed as part of the new leader’s “reign of beauty,” The Korea Times reported. 
 
 The chisel-jawed hunk is 36-year-old Choi Young-jae, an officer with Korea’s Special Warfare Command, Moon’s campaign said. 
 
 “He is ‘unfortunately’ married and has two daughters,” the president’s office noted, the paper reported. 
 
 His growing fan club appears undeterred. 
 
 “He looks like the square-jawed serious romantic lead, who’s going to be his plucky heroine who accidentally captures his heart…” Yulin Kuang tweeted. 
 
 Added another admirer: “Do not make a sexist comment, do not make a sexist comment…he “looks” very capable.” 
 
 Moon defeated Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Jun-pyo and the People’s Party’s Awn Cheol-soo. 
 
 The election comes on the heels of a corruption scandal that led to the impeachment of Park Geun-hye, the country’s first female president. 

 Donald Trump is not the only newly-minted president causing waves. 
 
 South Korean president Moon Jae-in was sworn in three days ago (May 10) and is already in motion to distance himself from his disgraced predecessor. The former human-rights lawyer has announced plans to eschew the luxurious perk of living in the mountainside presidential palace, nominated a prime minister from a rural left wing province, and pledged to unite the country—60 percent of South Koreans did not vote for him. 
 
 He’s also getting a ton of attention on social media, but not because of any of his new promises. Moon is going viral on the internet because Korean and American netizens alike are infatuated with one of his bodyguards. 
 
 Not much is known about the unidentified bodyguard, but that hasn’t stopped Korean netizens from dubbing him “Face Hegemony,” because his dashing good looks are “to lead the way for the new president.” Twitter has also joined in on the fangirling. 
 
 Seeing as to how president Moon has inherited a country with high personal debt and slow economic growth, let’s hope the bodyguard doesn’t find himself drawn into any political drama. Trump’s bodyguard hasn’t been so lucky.
– New South Korean president Moon Jae-in was sworn in this week, but it was his bodyguard who—in the words of BuzzFeed—had the internet "feeling the thirrrrrst." Twitter users were quick to notice a handsome face hanging around in photos of the new president. "If I charge towards the South Korean president, will this bodyguard tackle me?" one Twitter user asks "for a friend." Others are composing fan fiction about Moon's bodyguard, describing him as a "square-jawed serious romantic lead," according to the New York Post. The Post identifies the good-looking bodyguard as 36-year-old Choi Young-jae, a member of Korea's Special Warfare Command and married father of two daughters. But fans in South Korea are calling him "Face Hegemony" because he'll "lead the way for the new president" through handsomeness, Quartz reports. But it's not just him, South Koreans are describing Moon's entire cabinet the "handsome brigade" while looking forward to life under the new "reign of beauty," according to Next Shark. (Moon better hope his bodyguard is as competent as he is photogenic, as he's said he's willing to visit North Korea in search of peace.)
