Ji Chang-wook for 'Marie Claire' (June 2019)
For his comeback from the military, Chang-wook oozed with charisma for 'Marie Claire'. Shot at the sunny outskirts of Okinawa, Chang-wook looked visually re-energized after his mandatory military service. This photo of him in a baby blue suit paired with a graphic tee is our favorite!

Gong Yoo for 'Esquire' Korea (June 2017)
Sun-drenched at the Lombok Beach in Indonesia, Gong Yoo precisely looks like the ‘oppa’ of our dreams in the June 2017 cover of 'Esquire' Korea. The rich terracotta suit ensemble complemented the beach’s misty and overexposed skyline, a scene straight out of a melodramatic film!

Gong Yoo for 'Marie Claire' Korea (July 2016)
Gong Yoo’s shoot for 'Marie Claire' Korea was filled with the same action star angst he had in ‘Train To Busan’. Filled with cool toned printed shirts, sweaters, vests, and denim, the shoot perfectly displayed the calm before the storm.

Yoo Ah-in for 'T Magazine' China (November 2018)
Ah-in made a number of art and design references for 'T' China’s November 2018 issue. Apart from his impressive creative direction for this shoot, Ah-in was keen enough to include designer pieces and everyday objects in his layouts.

Lee Min-ho for 'Dazed' Korea (January 2020)
Fit for a modern-day king, Lee Min-ho starred in 'Dazed' Korea’s first cover for 2020 with an entire line-up of luxury wool coats, trousers, and silk scarves. What a timely cover right before ‘The King: Eternal Monarch’ was released this year!

Lee Min-ho for 'L’Officiel Hommes' (September 2019)
Min-ho’s 'L’Officiel Hommes' cover is considered special up to this day because it paved way for his comeback in the K-drama industry. After a brief break from the small screen, Min-ho came back in style as he poses with the luxurious Cartier Juste One Clout jewelry collection for this cover.

Park Seo-joon for 'T' Magazine Singapore (May 2020)
On the topic of sustainability and taking menswear fashion further, PSJ fronts 'T' Singapore’s June 2020 issue earlier this year. Apart from his dapper suit & tie ensembles, PSJ wore funky colored blazers and denim including the most micro denim bermuda shorts ever!

Park Seo-Soon for 'Esquire' Korea (May 2020)
PSJ graced the cover of 'Esquire' Korea in May 2020 with pieces from Mont Blanc. His viral post-chestnut hair was paraded across the entire magazine as he wore warm neutrals, denim, and of course the coveted Mont Blanc timepieces and leather goods.

Park Seo-joon for 'Vogue' Taiwan (April 2019)
PSJ’s tall frame was greatly highlighted during his exclusive 'Vogue' Taiwan cover from April last year. He donned a white Louis Vuitton leather harness on top of his white on white power suit. This cover truly marked his slow and steady rise in the K-drama industry.

Hyun Bin for 'Esquire' Hong Kong (March 2017)
Hyun Bin admittedly said in his interview with 'Esquire' Hong Kong that his passion for acting and fashion is growing stronger than ever. Wearing a kingly shoulder piece on top of his avant-garde buttondown, Hyun Bin definitely proved his point on this one.

Hyun Bin for 'Vogue' Korea (August 2018)
For their first stint together as a couple in ‘The Negotiation’, Hyun Bin together with Son Ye-jin had their first photoshoot for 'Vogue' Korea back in August 2018. It would be an understatement to say that both of them are match made in fashion and in heaven.

Hyun Bin for 'W' Korea (May 2014)
Seeing Hyun Bin sport a suede neutral shirt while he’s riding a horse still hits different even after six years since this cover was released. For 'W' Korea’s May 2014 issue, Hyun Bin took our breathe away as he posed as our true knight in shining armor.
