Minho is talented, handsome, and the very definition of one of Korea’s beauty standards: small heads!

Small heads are a beauty standard for both male and female K-Pop idols, and having a small head is considered a reflection of true beauty. For men, a small head can make their body proportions look better by making them appear taller and making their shoulders seem broader.

If you’ve ever seen Minho, you know he’s tall, broad-shoulder, small-faced, and incredibly handsome!

While Shawols and netizens alike swoon over Minho’s visuals, his fellow SHINee members love to poke good-natured fun at him for his small head!

Key, Onew, and Minho recently filmed a video called “#SHINee has arrived @KWANGYA STATION!” to promote SM Entertainment‘s upcoming SMTOWN LIVE 2022 concert.

In the video, the members were given a suitcase that held a SHINee balloon and lightstick.

When Onew saw his balloon, he couldn’t resist comparing it to Minho’s head! He said, “This is like the size of Minho’s head!” 

Onew’s joke was reminiscent of a moment from SHINee’s “Prison Interview” with 1theK Originals while promoting “Don’t Call Me.” In this video, Key, Onew, and Taemin drew portraits of Minho.

Key said he had decided to “maximize the effect” of Minho’s small face in his portrait before revealing his hilarious drawing.

Key’s portrait of Minho made all the members laugh. He definitely delivered on his promise to highlight Minho’s small head.

Although the members tease Minho about his small head, it’s all in good fun! They love our small-headed king Minho just as much as we do!
