From terrifying Captain Yoo in "Prison Playbook" to university student Im Soo Ho in "Snowdrop," Jung Hae In indeed made millions of hearts flutter with his visuals and charming aura.
However, did you know that the South Korean heartthrob has a unique moniker?
Reason Behind Jung Hae In's Moniker 'Milk Man'
If GOAT means "greatest of all time," in South Korea, they have the term "milk man" which means exceptionally superior genes that are above average.
According to multiple media outlets, Jung Hae In earned the moniker because of his family background and basically his overall visuals.
Did you know that the "Snowdrop" star came from an influential family, especially during the Joseon era?
It turns out that Jung Hae In's great-grandfather Jeong Yakyong was a Dasan or one of the greatest philosophers during the said dynasty.
Jeong Yakyong wrote several books about science, philosophy and theories that shaped the government.
On top of these, he is also a poet and the adviser of King Jeongjo of Joseon.
The moniker did not only translate through his family background but also on how he looked.
Interestingly, his former makeup artist dishes out his superior genes noting that Jung Hae In doesn't need to use cosmetics products even on shoots because his skin is almost perfect.
Based on his Instagram, we could see how his skin looks great even without makeup, filter, or whatsoever; plus, the 33-year-old heartthrob has perfect eyebrows.

In 2019, Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In guested SBS PowerFM's "Cultwo Show" to promote their film "Tune in For Love."
At the time, the "Yumi's Cells" star spoke about her experience working with her co-star.
The actress showered Jung Hae In with sweet words and revealed that he is very kind-hearted and polite but doesn't know how to take compliments.
"He's the type of person who's not good at taking compliments, so he doesn't know what to do when you give him lots of compliments," he said.
The same goes for his labelmate Song Eun Yi who took to Instagram and praised the actor for his kindness.
In a post, the singer, actress and comedian says that Jung Hae In remained the same despite his popularity.
"You're the first one to run over and greet me while getting your makeup done in the waiting room. You looked cool even with only half your makeup done. You're exactly the same as when I first saw you six years ago. Even with more fame, you would still be a good person," she wrote.
It was when the actor took home the Most Popular Actor at the 2018 Baeksang Arts Awards.
