Gyehun of the boy group KickFlip grabbed attention with his unexpectedly charming vibes.

Recently, online communities and social media lit up over the wallet-style (folio) phone case Gyehun showed during a livestream.

In the clip, holding his phone fitted with the wallet-style case in one hand, he said, "I really debated buying this. I was worried Donghyun would tease me." When fellow member Donghyun asked, "So how are you going to answer calls?", Gyehun covered half his face with the case and joked, "Like this," cracking everyone up.

Fans reacted with comments like, "Are you a 1964-liner, not 2004?", "Sir, you look like someone's dad", "Those cases are actually convenient", and "He's hilarious on sheer vibes alone."

It later came out that Gyehun was already using a wallet-style case back in high school, adding to the surprise.

Meanwhile, KickFlip, a JYP Entertainment boy group, set a new personal record for first-week sales with promotions for their fourth mini album 'My First Kick,' released in April.
