Im Siwan’s performance in 'Squid Game 2' is gaining widespread attention, not just for his stellar acting but also for his visuals—even in scenes where he’s beaten and bruised.

One Korean netizen included a photo of the actor after he was beaten by Thanos (played by T.O.P) and commented, “Lol, how is it even possible for Im Siwan to look this good with bruises and a beaten-up face? At this point, it feels like T.O.P is the makeup artist who specializes in styling Im Siwan!”

Other netizens agreed and also commented on how Im Siwan's "incel crypto-obsessed" character is overshadowed by his good looks. Many humorously remarked that they could forgive anyone who looks like Im Siwan, regardless of their actions.

They commented:

"He’s playing such a pathetic guy, but when someone with that face says 'I’m sorry, please forgive me,' I feel like I’ve become his ex-girlfriend. It’s like I have to forgive him. Damn, it’s such a weird feeling."

"Lately, I’m really feeling that insanely good-looking people last forever. Im Siwan’s getting older, but he’s still just as handsome. And especially Kim Jaejoong—he’s active again these days, and seriously, who would think he’s 40? Im Siwan’s turning 38 in two days, too, lol."

"But seriously, Im Siwan is really handsome…;; I hadn’t watched anything of his since 'The Attorney' when I was younger, but last year, I watched that movie 'Unlocked.' Even though he was playing a criminal, he was so handsome that I kept thinking, ‘Wait, is this a romance?’"

"That sorrowful expression of his—damn, it’s so good-looking. He looks like someone who specializes in that kind of expression. Please, let him do a romance where he makes that face a lot."

"Even his bruises look pretty on him…"

"Now that T.O.P is gone, who’s going to style him?"

"I never understood women ruining their lives over men, but if someone with that face acted all pitiful, I feel like I’d be in a self-destructive relationship, knowing it’s bad for me but unable to cut it off."

"There’s just something about him that makes you want to protect him like he triggers this maternal instinct."
