Step into a nostalgic journey with the "20th-century Korean handsome men meme collection," where the charm and allure of Korea's classic heartthrobs are brought to life through modern meme culture.

Before the global rise of K-pop and Hallyu, these iconic figures captivated audiences with their timeless looks and charisma. One netizen on an online community shared a collection of handsome Korean men during the 20th century.

Korean netizens commented:

"These days, most idols or actors are genuinely unattractive except for a few."

"Now it's all about plastic surgery and makeup, whereas male actors in the past didn't even wear makeup. LOL"

"Frankly speaking, Korean male actors born after 1990 don't measure up visually. Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho are probably the last good-looking ones."

"Ahn Jung Hwan isn't even a celebrity, but he has dozens of meme-worthy photos because he's just legendary... really handsome."
