How it's used
This term is a playful, informal label used to describe a boy who is widely considered the most attractive student on campus. It mirrors the structure of 校花, which refers to the most beautiful girl in school. While it implies popularity, it is often used in a lighthearted or slightly teasing manner rather than as a formal title.
