New President Moon Jae In has had a bodyguard named Choi Yong Jae who has always accompanied him since he began taking the position of leader of the country.

Mr. Choi overshadows everyone around him (including President Moon) with his handsome and cold appearance like a movie star.

On Twitter, Choi Yong Jae has many fans at home and abroad. They nicknamed him "hot boy bodyguard".

A girl named Laura teased: "If I rush into the President, will he hug me back?"

According to the Korea Times, Mr. Choi Yong Jae is a member of the "pretty boy brigade" - the nickname given by the Korean media to President Moon's specially selected bodyguards. In addition to their security role, they also represent the new government to the public.

And although the appearance criteria were applied to all members of the Presidential Guard, Choi Yong Jae still stood out.

After Choi's photos went viral this week, Korean site AllKPop indulged fans by releasing more photos of the mysterious bodyguard.

But some girls may be disappointed because Choi Yong Jae is married and has two daughters. The US Huffington Post commented that in addition to protecting the South Korean leader, Choi also helped the world break the stereotype that Asian men are weak and unattractive.

Quartz wrote teasingly: "In the context of President Moon taking over a country with slow economic growth, let's hope that the bodyguard does not get involved in some political scandal. Donald Trump's bodyguard is not so lucky."
