Lee Dong Wook is famous for being the face of Chanel’s male grooming and makeup line, Boy de Chanel. Fun fact: Lee Dong Wook also dated Bae Suzy up till recently, and have been good friends with Running man ace Song Ji Hyo for a long time.

We track down the secret behind Lee Dong Wook’s flawless skin:
