ShoHirano （Number_i)
世界中の人に、彼の素晴らしさを、しって貰いたい💕
でも、本人は全然自覚なくて、「みんながそうしてる事にそろそろ気付いて！」って、今なお本気で思ってそうです。誰か教えてあげて欲しい。「あなたは内面の美しさがあふれて輝いてます」って！！
congratulations❣️ SHO Hirano ❣️
SHO is cool and beautiful…and
handsome!
Totally agree.
He is always shining so brightly and intensely☆ #ShoHirano
The most handsome man in the world❤️
Sho Hirano is perfect. He reminds me so much of Trunks from Dragon Ball and Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke who are the most handsome characters ever created in Japan. Both characters were created before Sho HIrano was even born!!

Amazing Sho 🤗
平野紫耀さんに今後も注目していただきたいです。彼の魅力にもっと驚かされると思います。
thank you!! Sho’s charm is huge and variety. He is very heartwarming guy and keeps making songs to encourage the people during the COVID19, at the natural disaster in Noto, Japan. the lyrics that “number_i” made are so beautiful with their touching voices, “be on your side”. They donated a considerable money including the revenue as TOBE or their management company.
Sho is No.1 handsome man in the world!!
Thanks to recommend him:)

Голосование должно было закончиться 30 июня, а голоса тысячами накидали Хирано 1 июля!!! Несправедливая победа, накрученная ботами!
Totally agree!!
Хирано не победитель в этой номинации🙄 30 июня Ким Тэхен на много тысяч был впереди, и номинация должна была закрыться, но ее продолжили до 1 июля👎👎👎И 1 июля Хирано добавили много тысяч голосов👎👎👎 Признайте это, Ким Тэхен лучший, а вы не хотите это признать!!!!!
It’s a shame that these photos are all edited by fans.He doesn’t wear eye make-up like this and is naturally beautiful.In this regard, the problem lies with the fans who post edited photos like this.I would be happy if you could use the unedited photo.
