The aspiring MD is our newest Instagram obsession, blending a stunning physique with an artistic aesthetic. However, Kim has even bigger aspirations that just to post pictures of his ripped torso and gain Insta fame.

"As much as this is a hobby and fun for me, I hope that I can have some positive impact on the way that Asian-American males are portrayed in the media and viewed by the world," Kim said in an Instagram post from March.

We applaud Joey for daring to change the standard of beauty, and own his essence. (Plus he's quite easy on the eyes, meriting many a double tap.)
