March Magazine: MBLAQ's Thunder in Harper's Bazaar Korea

Sandara Park's dongsaeng, Thunder from MBLAQ is now all grown-up! But he still looks adorable, judging from this fashion editorial from the March 2012 edition of Harper's Bazaar Korea. I love the concept of the editorial - serious guy in playful clothes.

March Magazine: BoA in Harper's Bazaar Korea

Almost a year after I opened this blog and months and months of hiatus, I just realized I never posted anything that had BoA in it. Here's my first BoA post - a fashion feature of her wearing soft fabrics in neutrals, denim and boots.

May Magazine Photoshoot: SHINee for Elle Girl Korea and Japan

Korean male group SHINee (샤이니) is featured in this month's Elle Girl for Korea and Japan. SHINee's fashion stands out among the other boy groups for its (almost) perennial quirky and colorful nature. They almost never wear matching stuff as individual style is their trademark. Even when traveling or when they're dressed in suits, the boys always seem to wear something trendy and edgy. And who knew it'd get them far with the ladies? Member Jong Hyun or Jjong caught the eye of hottie Shin Se Kyung, whom he is now currently dating! Jong Hyun (종현), Onew (온유), Min Ho (민호), Tae Min (태민) and Key (키) are featured in an editorial that reflects their unique take on menswear.

Event: Public Photo Shoot for Top Model and Elle Korea

Jang Yun Ju, Han Hye Jin, Kim Jae Wook, Song Kyung Ah and Ji Hyeon Jeong's photo for an editorial in the June edition of Elle Korea has just been released. The five supermodels are featured on the cover of the book "Top Model" released last 11 May 2011. The book "Top Model" tells of the supermodels' evolution as Korea's representatives, as well as other stories of prominent personalities in the Korean fashion scene. A public photo shoot was held to celebrate its publication.

Various local television and online media outlets covered the event and was attended by many ordinary people. They were able to see the photo shoot and even the models resting. 

The photo shoot's theme was "jetsetters' lifestyle", featuring the latest summer wear and club wear, including denims and brightly-colored dresses, which appealed to the watching crowd, gaining their appreciation and applause.
