Is he considered handsome by Asian standards?

My (probably not-such-a-smart) question is caused by a conversation with a Japanese friend who lives in Korea and is married to a Korean guy.

We were discussing Korean movies and actors, and at some point I blurted out that Byung-hun Lee is the most handsome Asian actor I've ever seen, and she said something like "Yeah, he's quite popular among Europeans and Americans but I wouldn't say he's all that attractive for the locals".

I do get it might be nothing more than her personal opinion but I was wondering if it's really based on any widespread perceptions in Korea, in China, Japan, etc. Or is there something special about him only for the "non-Asians", and for the "locals" he's just a regular guy?

I don't need to prove it to you, as there isn't a scientific paper on it

Wow,amazing proof!!

I know this thread is ancient but just to get back on the topic.. just watched a movie with him and kept marveling in how beautiful he is. Now to ask whole Asia whether he's hot or not is silly people have different taste and opinions of who's hot just like everywhere in the world. I am European and pretty sure this guys is considered handsome by any standards cuz he's just handsome. period. :)
