For 28 minutes, I’m inside theK-pop star’s Instagram feed.
But Wonho’s vibe is exactly what I see before me.
“I love being comfortable around people, around my fans,” he says.

“So I wear comfortable outfits.”
Wonho quickly became known for having the most enviable body in K-pop.
Even his peers were mesmerized by his trim physique at award shows.

“I feel a responsibility to fill the stage by myself,” Wonho reveals.
If that means doing so shirtless, so be it.
“I don’t really like suits or anything that’s too dressy,” he admits.

“I would say so,” he remarks.
The same low-key look extends upward to Wonho’s skin and hair, too.
His luminous complexion is free of makeup and anextensive skin-care regimen.

I have a hard time hiding my shock at the lack ofmoisturizerin his routine.
I think I need one to survive.
For some reason, he tells me he’s jealous of that.

That’s Wonho in a nutshell, though, if you ask me.
Wonho’s always paying attention, even when you don’t think he is.
He brings much more to the world than a body to marvel at.
After all, Wonho is a performer not a fitness model of some sort.
Music is a major part of Wonho’s equation.
His meticulous involvement in each melody and lyric is what truly makes all of this tick.
In these moments, Wonho says he feels most like himself.
Many of the songs Wonho has written are based on places his mind escapes to.
“Idaydream a lot, like, trulya lot,” Wonho admits, spoken like atrue Pisces.
Sharing the gist of his daydreams comes a bit more easily for Wonho.
For a second, he leads me into his psyche in a way I wasn’t expecting.
Turns out, Wonho’s reveries aren’t realistic; they’re more sensory.
“Like, what would I have been or what if the world has ever been like this?”
The mention of sensory makes me wonder if Wonhohas synesthesia.
“Yes, I can,” Wonho replies nonchalantly.
“Don’t others too?”
Not everyone has that knack.
I sure don’t, I tell him.
Wonho ponders this revelation for a couple more seconds than he planned as our internet connection is lost.
“I thought everyone was like me.”
The moody photographs Wonho sprinkles among his muscle-baring photos give us a glance at this introspective side of him.
“I usually post things that I like,” he says.
“I post things that are happening in my daily life.”
Honestly, I wanted to uncover the secret inner workings of Wonho’s Instagram Is there a content calendar?
Are there planned shoots?
No master marketing plan is powering it to make more people listen to his music.
(Consider that a delightful benefit.)
