A recent Calvin Klein photoshoot featuring K-pop Idol and actor Rowoon has reignited debates about male grooming, particularly underarm hair removal, in South Korea. While some people appreciate the natural look, others find it untidy. The term "Clgyeo," short for "clean underarm" in Korean, refers to men who choose to shave their underarm hair. This trend is gaining popularity not only among male celebrities but also general consumers, especially with the rise of body care and grooming routines. Sales of male grooming products, such as razors and waxes, have significantly increased, reflecting a broader acceptance of male grooming practices in daily life.
