    That is one beautiful man. So beautiful in fact that I suspect he was once a woman.

    • Otto_vdwl

      September 29, 2023 at 4:56 pm

      I’m pretty sure he isn’t transgender…

    • Infinity's Librarian

      September 30, 2023 at 1:17 am

      @Otto_vdwl maybe, but he looks more beautiful (not handsome) then most korean pop stars.

      Its makes me wonder

    • Otto_vdwl

      September 30, 2023 at 5:42 am

      @Infinity’s Librarian yeah I think he does use make-up. (Btw he’s not Korean he’s half Chinese half American)

    • Otto_vdwl

      September 30, 2023 at 5:44 am

      But the K-pop idols you’re talking about probably also use make-up so yeah I don’t know

    • Infinity's Librarian

      September 30, 2023 at 8:15 am

      @Otto_vdwl mhh, you may be right, asian genes + make up may = beautiful men

    • Jojo _Thej

      October 3, 2023 at 2:25 am

      @Infinity’s Librarianhis fiancé is the one behind most of the makeup and in most their music vids so I would assume this is natural routine of some sort

What does a war look like when you sit still long enough to draw it? Reportage artist and TED Fellow George Butler sketches the people that the news passes by: a 99-year-old survivor of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, a man gathering books blasted into a rose garden, an architect whose home was hit by a Russian missile. Urging us to slow down in the age of immediate news, Butler shows how a drawing reveals what a headline can’t. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 16, 2026)
