Jang Wooyoung is a member of South Korean boy band, 2PM. Fans are posting comments about the 20 year old singer with "beautiful cheeks" ranging from, "#WooyoungsCheeks are soo cute!! But careful ---- inside, there's poison!" to "#wooyoungscheeks are the talk of the town, and by town, i mean twitter."
