First of all, from a basketball perspective

With a height of 190cm, he is neither too tall nor too short, and looks more coordinated

The position he plays is also small. The forward rotates to the shooting guard. He controls the ball more and takes more scoring shots in the team. In addition, he has smooth movements (the shooting movements are very standard, soft and not too tough). His appearance is considered average among Korean athletes. , besides, small forwards and shooting guards are players who are easy to score points (I feel that at least 60% of the superstars with the most fans are strikers), so it is normal to call him the crown prince (this is also the case in South Korea). This kind of praise is similar to the name James King in the United States and Liu Yudong God of War in China).

However, I feel that what is more important is that such an athlete with a good figure and appearance has been hosting (kbs, sbs sports commentary), variety shows (Running Man, No Challenge), and some TV series ( 1944). In South Korea, a country with a developed entertainment industry, this kind of person who plays multiple roles is naturally very popular, so he is more popular.
