Diabetic-causing .......

The South Korean Billys are all diabetic-coma inducing.

Meaning, they are unimaginably sweet.

All the bow ties were enough to make it possible for me to look at the photo without going into a coma immediately.

It is amazing how all the Billys grow into the rule with experience and lots and lots of rehearsals. Also, sadly, comparing the two videos graphically depicts how the boys have physically grown since the beginning, leading inevitably toward outgrowing of the role. Enjoy them while we can!
