Elle Korea fashion magazine lavished praise on Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, who is currently starring in the hit TV drama “The Producers,” in its online June edition.

“Kim Soo-hyun’s voice sounds as soft and warm as a cappuccino, and he’s also a good singer,” said the magazine, referring to TV drama soundtrack songs he has featured on in the past. “When he sings and looks into the camera, we wonder whether there is any girl who will not fall in love with him -- it’s like he’s singing only to you.”

The fashion magazine also praised Kim’s “small face proportions” and desirable figure -- the star weighs 65 kilograms and stands 180 centimeters tall, according to the magazine.

“He has broken the prejudice that good-looking men are either bulky, have bad personalities or ‘rough’ figures -- or at least don’t look handsome smiling,” said Elle.

The article, released Wednesday, further praised the star as a “gentle but reliable oppa (older brother)” figure. Elle Korea also said the star was a charismatic actor and could render any of his characters likable.

Kim has starred in hit TV dramas including “Moon Embracing the Sun” and “My Love from the Star” and currently stars in the “The Producers.” The actor, 27, also starred in the films “The Thieves” and “Secretly, Greatly.”
