MONSTA X Shownu recently made headlines in the K-pop world, not for his musical talents, but for a surprising video showcasing his skincare routine. The video quickly went viral, but it wasn't Shownu's skincare tips that caught netizens' attention.
It's common for male idols to promote skincare and makeup brands, often sharing their own routines with fans. These promotions not only highlight the idols' beauty secrets but also boost sales for the brands they endorse.
On May 16, Shownu shared a video with fans while on a trip, appearing shirtless and applying a serum on his face. Netizens were quick to notice his nighttime skincare routine, but what really captured their focus was Shownu's toned physique and striking visuals.
