Idol J.Don already has his hands full being a member, leader, lead rapper, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and pianist of the boy band N.Flying. But now, his stint as an actor is grabbing more eyeballs.

Lee Seung-hyub’s ‘Sh**ting Star’ appearance has fans swooning

J.Don aka Lee Seung-hyub plays the hotel owner Kang Si-deok who is scouted by the Actor-Manager, Park Ho-young (played by Kim Yun-hye), who turns him into an actor and gives him a new stage name, Kang Yoo-sung. From girls crowding his restaurant to admire his radiating visuals to Kang Si-deok/Yoo-sung landing an acting gig all thanks to his confidence in speaking satoori (a regional Korean dialect), N.Flying’s Lee Seung-hyub had fans talking about him since the start of the show.

But Episode 7 of the show that aired on May 13 had fans talking about the singer for different reasons. The episode saw the character of Kang Si-deok appear on screen for the first time and the charming actor had the audience in splits. After it is revealed that the actor is not able to consume a drop of alcohol because of his low tolerance, fans witness a charming scene with the character of Kang Si-deok being forced to drink a cup of Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) that gets him drunk.

Drunk Lee Seung-hyub charms fans

Being a drunk celebrity is never a good look but the ‘Sh**ting Star’ show manages to change that perception as Kang Si-deok goes about cleaning up the streets on his way from the convenience store to his dorm room. Once he arrives at what he believes is his dorm room, Si-deok starts undressing and working out in the middle of a public park in his underwear and sleeps using an instant-ramen bowl as his pillow.

After his photos are initially leaked, Kang Si-deok (aka Yoo-sung) is called a lunatic but the PR Team handles the issue. Everything turns out favorably for Si-deok, who gets a new brand deal for an underwear advertisement. With N.Flying’s Lee Seung-hyub playing the character of Kang Si-deok, the scene had fans feeling a wide range of emotions from laughter to excitement as Seung-hyub charmed fans with his chiseled body and innocent acting.

‘Low-quality pics but high-quality guy’

Fans have been talking about Lee Seung-hyub on Twitter as they are shocked about the sudden turn of events that have given fans a shirtless Seung-hyub. One fan asked, “What in the actual f**k just happened?” Another fan declared, “I AM NOT GOING TO SUFFER ALONE.” One fan joked, “Keep asking for abs reveal and now it just wont stop...not complaining though haha.” One more fan said, “We finally got out 2022 version of his abs and i am not okay. I will talk about his great acting later....but for now let me just have this meltdown...Lee Seunghyub is so fit.”

One fan said, “Low quality pics but high quality guy and his high quality physique.” One more fan said, “But the way they portrayed his character to be doing positive things on the street when he was drunk, is actually so cute and warm, to show that he is a kind and heartwarming guy.” One fan said, “But drunk Sideok is cute! I am so in love with Seunghyub's acting in this drama. He is given so much space to define the character as he wants it and his acting is so good.”

One fan said, “When I tell you I gasped! I GASPED.” Another fan said, “The highlight of this episode is Kang Shi Deok’s cuteness, sexiness, and manliness. I don’t expect to see sizzling hot body muscles beyond his adorable face hihi. Our underwear commercial model.” One more fan said, “He went from this to this too fast. I am dizzy.”
