Welcome back to another installment of For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.
One of the most fun parts of the photoshoots that come out of Korea is the creativity. Sometimes, we get the run-of-the-mill stare mysteriously into the camera, but other times, we get stories. And those are fascinating — like who decided to have Gong Yoo wear a cowboy hat. Aespa‘s Winter also has a different story to tell with her blonde bob, jean blazer, and fiery Ralph Lauren bag. (As someone who grew up in the suburbs of New York, she reminds me of a more fashionable version of my neighbors.) Others featured in today’s weekly roundup play with defying gravity, angles, the natural versus the man-made, and going against the grain. Take a look below to find more of the unexpected.
