Actor Koo Kyo-hwan kicked off the New Year by winning over fans with a single photo from a recent stage greeting.
On January 1, his agency Namoo Actors shared an image taken during a stage greeting for his latest film. In the photo, Koo wears a check-pattern knit and signature glasses, radiating a calm, artistic charm that immediately drew praise.
Fans reacted enthusiastically, commenting, “This low-key look is even better,” “One photo is enough to make my heart race,” and “He’s serving visuals from day one of the year.”
Koo currently stars as Lee Eun-ho in Once We Were Us, which was released on December 31. The film explores the emotional complexity of revisiting first love and has been praised for its restrained, realistic portrayal of lingering memories.
