Choi Minho, a vocalist and rapper heartthrob from K-pop group SHINee, stopped by Los Angeles to perform at KCON, an annual convention that features everything from K-pop to K-beauty. Known for his boyish good looks and flawless skin on stage and as the romantic lead in the drama To The Beautiful You, The Klog caught up with Minho to ask him about his skincare secrets. Here’s four things we learned about Choi Minho in our exclusive interview!
1. He has a favorite skincare step
“I’m often wearing heavy makeup for photo shoots, concerts and other events, so the most important step in my skincare routine is cleansing. It’s very important to remove makeup thoroughly from your skin at the end of the day.
Due to my busy schedule, there are many days I go without sleep. On those days I look and feel tired, I make sure to hydrate my body and skin. I drink a lot of water and I also apply 1.5 times more moisturizer than usual.”
2. He uses sheet masks regularly
“I don’t use sheet masks every single day, but I do use them often when my skin is really dry.”
3. He has advice for men who are too lazy for skincare
“I admit there are times when I am too lazy to do my skincare routine. For those men who may feel the same, I recommend doing these three steps after cleansing–tone, moisturize and apply sunblock. Sunblock is so important!”
4. He has two favorite cities in the US
“I don’t travel to the US often–only when there is a performance or if I go on vacation. So far I love Los Angeles and Vegas. One of my first vacations was in Las Vegas, and that was a very memorable trip.”
