Just like men need their eye candy, so do we ladies! Forget Hugh Jackman, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, etc – we’ve got something waayyyy better that would spark ignite Asian pride. Some of these hunks are still under the radar ’cause they’re so hot that it’s a secret. But we couldn’t resist not sharing good things.
Ladies, prepare to hold your jaws from dropping, and guys, just be proud that you share the same genetics, OK? Are you ready?
1. Lee Byung Hun
Not exactly Korea’s best kept secret, but Byung Hun is worthy of mention not just for his smokin’ hot bod, or luscious and boyish features, but because Hollywood is taking notice of his talent by casting him in blockbusters Red 2 and GI Joe: Retaliation.
2. Daniel Henney
Let’s say it together: Mixed-race boys are to-die-for. This Korean-Irish wonder has put in some screen time, starring in films like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Big Hero 6 as Tadashi, The Last Stand and Seducing Mr. Perfect, and we wouldn’t mind having him in our shower too.
We feel you, lady.
3. Godfrey Gao
Can we get a round of Malaysian pride? Yep, the stud is born to a Taiwanese father and Malaysian mum. If you did not know already, Godfrey played Magnus Bane in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and is the first Asian male model for Louis Vuitton. High-fashion is in his bones.
4. T.O.P. from Big Bang
No list is complete without Korean boyband heartthrob T.O.P.! I mean, who can pull off whacky hairstyles and still ooze with adorbs, AND make us blush at the sight of his scultped abs?
5. Hrithik Roshan
This suave leading man is too handsome for his own good that he found himself voted as the sexiest Asian man three times in four years for British newspaper Eastern Eye and India’s People magazine. We can see why – with a chiseled body and a gaze full of intent, who wouldn’t fall under his spell?
6. Dae Na
There’s so many reasons to focus all our attention on fashion week runways and Da Nae is one of them. The Korean supermodel makes spicy kimchi feel like a pinch, and makes us sweat buckets when he does what he does.
7. Hideo Muraoka
We’ve got Hideo’s Brazilian-Japanese parents to thank for another wonderful creation to the male species. We would fight tooth and nail to share Muay Thai and Capoeira classes that this fitness model frequents.
He’s so hot, we don’t even realise he’s in clothes! Unless you prefer him without of course 😉
8. Hidetoshi Nakata
He may have retired as one of the most famous Asian footballers of his generation, but this Japanese gem still be ballin’ in the fashion scene. And when he puts on a suit, he’s still got that magic of landing a goal.
9. Won Bin
Since the day we laid eyes on this dish of a hunk, he’s held a special place in our heart. Won Bin will always remain in our little black book of guilty pleasures, just because of the way he looks back at us (or so we think).
10. Daniel Liu
If we could choose between a glass of water and Daniel, we’d choose the latter. Seriously, we would lap him up like a tall glass of cold water on a hot, hot day. He’s already proven to be THE cup of tea for major brands like Uniqlo, Target and Tom Ford.
11. Paolo Roldan
Never have we seen a man so comfortable with his exotic features, and never have we had the urge to fondle a perfectly shaped bald head. This Philippines-born, Toronto-raised model has been muse for Givenchy men and dabbled in a rather risque shoot for French Vogue, too NSFW that we recommend you Google it.
Or you can settle for this:
12. Vidyut Jamwal
Some call him India’s answer to Bruce Lee. We call him boyfriend material. In a big bad city, a lady needs a gentleman who doubles as a martial arts-trained bodyguard.
13. Ning Zetao
Well of course we need to include the Olympian who’s responsible for exploding women’s ovaries worldwide. The swimmer is not all body and look but has won several gold medals in competitions like the 50-meter, 100-meter freestyle, 4 × 100-meter freestyle relay and 4 × 100-meter medley relay during the 2014 17th Asian Games in South Korea.
Although he didn’t win a medal this year in Rio but it’s okay, because he has won hearts everywhere and that’s what matters.
