Jonghyun was first place on a poll of Korea's gay population on their favourite male idols, which took place in late 2011, the reasoning being:
“Jonghyun is really like a puppy. When his eyes shine brightly, he really gives off the impression of a puppy. Plus his bodyline is really good. It’s difficult for men to attain that kind of body (laughs). I’ve seen him via a show before, he really is very sexy. He really is someone with a lot of charms. He makes people feel like they really want to caress him. If he was a girl, he would probably have already made a few men cry!”
