Korea’s Top Hand Model Picks the Male Star With the Most Beautiful Hands—Genetics Gone Wild!

On the April 2 episode of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, Son Hye-seong, Korea’s most in-demand male hand model in advertising, made a rare TV appearance.

Host Yoo Jae-suk asked how long he’d been modeling. “It’s been about six or seven years now,” Son replied, impressing the hosts.

He also shared how he got his start in the industry: “After graduating from college, I saw a casting notice for hand models. I remember thinking, ‘Hey, I have really nice hands.’ So I just snapped a few rough photos and sent them in.” He landed the job immediately. “My first commercial was for banana-flavored milk. The main model at the time was actor Ju Ji-hoon,” he added.

Son has worked with some of Korea’s biggest names—including Gong Yoo, Cha Eun-woo, Son Suk-ku, BTS’s V, and even Yoo Jae-suk himself—and has appeared in over 300 TV commercials. But even with all that experience, one actor recently took him by surprise.

He admitted that when he recently saw actor Byeon Woo-seok’s hands, he was genuinely shocked.

Meanwhile, Byeon Woo-seok is set to star alongside IU in the upcoming drama '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' (working English title). The two were recently swept up in rumors of leaving the project, but both have denied the claims and confirmed they are actively preparing for the show.
