The magazine Men’s Health talks about fitness, health, fashion, gadgets, and more. However, international fans have come to know the Korean version of the magazine since they often have male idols and celebrities pose for their covers. Maintaining health is indeed very important for anyone, especially for K-pop idols who are often required by their agency to care for their health and maintain a good body shape.
In 2020, several idols appeared on the cover of Men’s Health and made fans go wild with their healthy physique and toned muscles. For the celebrities themselves, being the cover model for Men’s Health is often seen as a matter of pride since only the most fit, toned people are chosen for the cover. As such, let’s take a look at some of the most popular 2020 issues of Men’s Health with idols as their cover stars!
PENTAGON’s Yeo One
Yeo One is a Korean singer and actor. He debuted as a vocalist in the boy group PENTAGON in October 2016. Aside from group activities as singer, he has also starred in various television dramas such as “Hello, My Twenties! 2.”
Yeo One displayed his toned body on the September cover of Men’s Health and quickly became a topic of conversation. Hard work pays off!
TEEN TOP’s Ricky
Ricky is a part of the group TEEN TOP under TOP Media. Ricky officially debuted as a TEEN TOP member in July 2010 with “Clap,” and he is the second youngest member to represent the group.
Fans jumped in glee seeing Ricky grace the Men’s Health cover in June. It might be due to the fact that he displayed his impressive, healthy body and abs, but this isn’t the first time he has shown off his muscles.
VICTON’s Han Seung Woo
Han Seung Woo is a singer and member of the boy group VICTON. He first debuted with the group in 2016 and as a solo artist in August 2020 with “Fame”.
Looks are generally important when you’re a celebrity, and Han Seung Woo puts in the work to maintain a chiseled body. He graced the magazine cover with his muscular body in July, but it only served to complement his striking facial features.
NU’EST’s Baekho
Baekho is a talented singer and songwriter. He debuted in 2012 as the main vocalist of the boy band NU’EST. A few years ago, he shocked fans with his solo stage performance of the song “Feels” during a NU’EST concert. Back then, fans were in awe of his muscular physique and tattoos.
Later, he graced the cover of the January 2020 issue of Men’s Health and showed off the results of all his hard work in the gym.
