No Min-woo Returns with Stunning Visuals and Reveals Skincare Secrets on 'Immortal Songs'

No Min-woo, making a comeback after a decade, captivated audiences with his princely visuals and revealed his skincare secrets.

On the January 3rd episode of KBS2TV's 'Immortal Songs', the show featured a '2026 Actor Special' with a star-studded lineup including veteran actor Lee Byung-joon, eternal heartthrob No Min-woo, scene-stealer Cha Chung-hwa, and versatile actors Kim Seul-gi, Kim Min-seok, Lee Da-wit, Kang Seung-ho, and Nam Min-woo of 'Band Agami'. The 'Amudda Band', featuring Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Jun-hyun, Jo Young-soo, Hong Kyung-min, Jeon In-hyuk, and Jo Jung-min, also took the stage.

The special episode celebrated the Year of the Red Horse in 2026, offering viewers a rich array of performances. The anticipation was high due to the impressive lineup. 'Band Agami', led by vocalist Kim Min-seok, opened the show with Muse's 'Starlight'.

Kim Min-seok explained that the band's name symbolizes breathing together with people. Kim Jun-hyun humorously remarked, "It's been a while since I've heard someone use the word 'Agami' on TV." Despite their three months of rigorous practice in a basement studio, 'Band Agami' was defeated by Cha Chung-hwa's outstanding vocal performance.

Cha Chung-hwa impressed the audience with her rendition of Jaurim's 'Fan'. Next, No Min-woo, who has maintained his youthful appearance since his debut in 2004, lived up to his 'vampire' nickname. Shin Dong-yup introduced No Min-woo's unique skincare routine, noting that he avoids using air conditioning or heating even in summer and winter.

No Min-woo shared that he avoids salt to prevent bloating and uses seven skincare products, including four serums, after cleansing. He also revealed his dedication to blood circulation by using hot packs on his neck even in summer and visiting a bathhouse weekly. Despite his efforts, No Min-woo's performance of 'I Lived Without Knowing the World' did not surpass Cha Chung-hwa's.

Born in 1986, No Min-woo debuted with the band Trax in 2004, showcasing his striking visuals. After leaving the group, he pursued a diverse career in music and acting. Recently, No Min-woo collaborated with comedian Kim Kyung-wook's alter ego 'Tanaka' for a bold concept. They released 'Black Cat', a single by No Min-woo's band Midnight Romance and Tanaka, composed by No Min-woo and co-written with Tanaka. The song explores the theme of forbidden love through music.
