The eyewitness wrote: “I saw both families up close on a cruise. Aside from the fact that his hair had turned white, he looked very well-groomed. His healthy tan was particularly impressive.”
The individual continued, “Unlike the photos circulating online, he looked much more natural and younger in person. He was tall and had an aura that immediately stood out. You could immediately see why he had become a celebrity.” The eyewitness also added that Bae Yong Joon was still stunningly handsome in real life.
