Welcome to the third article of our new weekly series “Boy Crush”! This series will appreciate the men in K-Pop and K-Dramas that we have a crush on based on anything from their style, talent, personality, overall vibe, etc. ATEEZ’s HongJoong opened the series for us followed by PENTAGON’s WooSeok. Readers voted for Eric Nam in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week. Let’s get to know our crush, Eric! Eric is a famous Korean soloist with huge international success. He is best known for his honey vocals that float through the air as either his own songs or the OSTs of popular K-Dramas. Eric’s vocals are like a gem that forms inside the ear. He has the smoothest voice and his musicality makes him a treat to listen to. Fans have even described his music as ‘criminally underappreciated’. Eric definitely deserves all of the recognition and more. Watch this acoustic live version of his song ‘I Don’t Know You Anymore’.
His vocals are not only suited to music, but his voice is honestly one of the best out there to listen to. Even his laugh sounds heavenly. Eric does podcasts for DIVE Studios Podcasts including one called the “K-Pop Daebak Show w/ Eric Nam” where you can get a feel for his warm and lovable personality. He is temporarily taking a break from the show but there are several episodes to watch in the meantime. He is quite thoughtful and good-natured which makes him quite charming and a pleasure to listen to. Check out this highlight episode of some of his best moments with some of your favorite artists as guests on the show.
Eric is also known for his hilarious sense of humor. He has gone viral several times for his hilarious memes and videos as an MC. The best thing about him is that he is funny even when he is not trying. You can get a feel for that in this video.
Eric is extremely accomplished having been listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia and named GQ Korea’s Man of the Year, to name only a couple of his achievements. We also need to take a moment to appreciate his smile, because he has one of the most heartwarming smiles out there. His vibe is also quite unique and the reason why many think he is such a cool guy. Eric is also just plain adorable. What do you think? Do you have a crush on Eric? Who would you like to see featured in the boy crush series? Leave a comment down below. Important notice: the vote only decides who will be featured in the next article. Everyone in the poll will be featured in the series eventually. Suggestions will also be gradually added each week.
