DUBAI: After a scandal saw South Korea’s former president removed from power, the country swore in its new leader Moon Jae-in last week.
However, rather than discussing the political turning point the new president embodies, Twitter fans have been focused on one of his swoon-worthy bodyguards.
According to the Korea Times, his name is Choi Young-jae and he is part of what South Korean media is calling the “handsome brigade” of apparently eye-catching individuals who are the new “attractive public face of the new administration.”
Women around the world have taken to Twitter to swoon over the 36-year-old square-jawed bodyguard.

Some had elaborate theories.
@elena_yip This makes perfect sense. Any potential attackers would be too distracted by his looks. They'd stop dead in their tracks. He is a gift pic.twitter.com/9BXdD53CFX

@elena_yip he looks like the square-jawed serious romantic lead, who's going to be his plucky heroine who accidentally captures his heart...
