Kim Tae-won, guitarist of the rock band Boohwal, couldn’t hide his pride over his soon-to-be son-in-law Devin’s striking looks.
On Aug. 10, TV Chosun’s YouTube channel released a preview clip of the reality show “Lovers of Joseon” titled “Devin… I’m coming to meet you now!” In the video, the conversation turns to Kim’s daughter’s fiance, whom he has yet to meet in person.

Fellow Boohwal member Park Wan-kyu said he saw Devin last year and described him as “probably the best-looking foreigner I’ve ever met in person,” praising not only his model-like appearance but also his kind demeanor. Member Choi Woo-je added, “He’s really like a model. I was shocked.”
Kim joked about his daughter’s enthusiasm for Devin’s looks, saying, “Seo-hyun said even Americans turn their heads to look at him. I guess it’s a good thing — maybe she felt regret because her dad isn’t particularly handsome.” He added that Devin is “Seohyun’s ideal type.”
Kim’s daughter is set to wed in the U.S. due to her future mother-in-law’s health condition, which prevents her from traveling to Korea for the ceremony.
Whether Kim will finally meet Devin will be revealed on the Aug. 11 episode of “Lovers of Joseon,” which airs at 10 p.m..
