A big problem with being a fangirl (or fanwoman, as the case may be) is accusations of shallowness, an unnatural attachment and obsession with the physical aspects of our beloved idols.

Well, when the object of your fannish affections is (arguably) the perfect mix of both sultry-y and oh-so-sweet, as one Kim Sunggyu is, you can’t help but admit these allegations have some merit.

His Exemplary Manners

My mom has always said that manners are the best way to show people that you respect them, and I don’t know about you, but my heart pounds for a man who does just that.
