[+782, -62] If a monk has an Instagram, doesn't that disqualify him as a monk?

[+684, -23] I mean, our opinion on his looks shouldn't matter no matter how handsome he is.. but I do wonder if his handsomeness will cause female believers to falter.. ㅋ

[+300, -15] A monk should not be popular for his looks... but rather for his virtue and offerings. The world is going to sh*ts if he's simply popular for his handsome face.

[+59, -1] Do monks wear makeup now?

[+49, -3] I don't think people would be so critical of him if he wasn't wearing makeup and posing more modestly for the photos... he needs to act accordingly.

[+37, -2] Something about his face looks like he got plastic surgery before he joined Buddhism

[+34, -0] Eyebrow tattoo~ all sorts of makeup. Male plastic surgery has become so normalized lately ㅠ it's odd to see it all on a monk

[+32, -1] A monk with makeup on ... 

[+25, -2] Eh, he should switch career paths into becoming a celebrity or YouTuber. He seems very into playing up his looks, but I don't even consider him that handsome. 

[+21, -0] A monk with an Instagram account is an example of his desire to remain in the secular society~~~

[+17, -1] The world is becoming so crazy, tsk tsk tsk

[+15, -0] A monk with makeup and an Instagram account ㅎㅎ I get that times are changing but wow

[+12, -2] Why are you a monk if you want to remain in society by communicating through SNS and publishing books and such?

[+193] I guess beauty matters in everything ㅎㅎ though I think his looks will get in the way of trying to lead a temple stay group

[+124] Though the monk himself may not have any ulterior intentions, I think a lot of people will swarm the temple with other intentions...

[+80] Did the monk get an eyebrow tattoo?

[+26] Anyone else think he looks like Oh Jong Hyuk? He's quite beautiful, though

[+40] So it's true, hair styles don't matter for men, it's all about the facial features
