We Pinoys definitely have a soft spot for South Koreans, as evidenced by our warm reception to K-Dramas, K-Pop, and K-Pop idols. Most of us have had our own Korean crushes. If you still haven’t, then we may have found you one.
The internet went nuts when photos of the newest South Korean President surfaced online. But people weren’t looking at the president. Everyone was talking about his super handsome bodyguard.

This beautiful specimen’s name is reportedly Choi Young-jae, but people are content on calling him the “President’s Hot Bodyguard”.
People on Twitter are even having fun coming up with possible K-Drama plots with this bodyguard as the lead character, because why not?
@elena_yip he looks like the square-jawed serious romantic lead, who's going to be his plucky heroine who accidentally captures his heart…

But before you do anything drastic, you should know that he’s reportedly already married and with kids. So, you’ll have to make do with staring at his face in the background of the president’s photos.
