K-pop idol Wonho, real name Lee Ho-seok, was recently dubbed as “Captain Korea” in the latest issue of Men's Health Korea.

The fitness magazine showed two cover versions of the singer, one Wonho topless, revealing his muscular physique, and the other with him wearing a navy suit but still showing his rock-hard abs.

The caption writes, “On the threshold of spring, singer Wonho opened the March issue of 'Men's Health' and the 15th anniversary of its foundation.

“He is definitely the hottest artist of his time!”

Check out the two covers below:

The title doesn't come much as a surprise to Wenees and Monbebes alike as the K-pop idol is known for being a "workoutholic," as he always goes to the gym to exercise.

He reportedly runs on treadmills and does cycling every day for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

In his YouTube channel, the “Open Mind” singer often shares his workouts at home with no equipment needed and tries different exercises to keep his physique.

Aside from being the March cover boy of Men's Health Korea, Wonho is gearing up to release the second part of his “Love Synonym” series, scheduled to be released on February 26 by Highline Entertainment.

“Love Synonym Part 2” will contain eight tracks, including “Lose,” “Devil,” “Best Shot,” “Weneed,” “Ain't About You,” “Flash,” “Lose,” and “Outro: And.”

The title track “Lose” will have both Korean and English versions, and that Wonho has participated in writing the lyrics, composing, and arranging the track.

Concurrently, the singer has also been busy sharing the different concept photos for the second part of his mini-album, in three versions.

Wonho made his solo debut back in September 2021 with the tracks “Losing You” and “Open Mind” consecutively.
