The photo of Seunghoon before the cut is my fave. He looks cute even with that bucket hat.

The styling is horrid. What is with everyone and the basic look lately...

[canxi.livejournal.com]

It looks like they each had a different stylist to style them, too.
It looks like something much older men could probably pull off modeling, not so much a group of 20 and 20somethings.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Yup, the styling here is very uncle-ish.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Well, the target group of this magazine are the guys who have already climbed the corporate ladder a bit instead of students in their early twenties.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't know about this particular magazine's target but I thought them as a group were marketed to teenagers/people in their early 20s like them.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

They are, though I hear lots of their Korean fandom are older people as Win was popular among 40 year old ladies in addition to 20 something girls and guys. But the readership of this magazine is mostly made of single guys who are already in worklife and are interested in style and culture (plus sexy ladies LOL).

I've observed that some boy groups (EXO, Infinite, SHINee, BAP, etc) have many aunt fans in their 40s but people don't feel grossed out by them like they feel about uncle fans. I personally don't mind any of them as long the group is legal but some of these ahjumma fans are creepy as fuck drooling over underaged/barely legal kids and putting "countdowns" in their blogs for when some of them (like Zelo, Jungkook, etc...) become legal. It's horribly creepy but people don't criticize them like they do with uncle fans.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't know about that, tbh. It may be because "uncle fans" are more visible.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

When I went to an Infinite's concert in Tokyo, it was full of women in their mid/late 40s screaming "ikemen" and "~kawaii~" to them. I didn't mind because they're all legal after all, but I'm sure if it was reversed everyone had found it gross.
Also, I read that around 10% of the audience of EXO's Showtime were women in their 40s too. It's way more common than people think.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you definitely see a lot of older people at concerts. I was pretty surprised when I went to Big Bang's concert and saw so many older people (some with their children). Don't really have a problem with older ladies finding younger men attractive but didn't occur to me it got so creepy with some, especially with the ones that aren't men just yet. o.O The more you know.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I also saw a shitload of older people at BAP's concert in Paris. And -surprisingly- more dads than moms with their children. Some of them were straight out fanboying (?) members like Zelo and it was creepy as fuck. Like I said, I don't mind uncle/aunt fans as long the group is like 20+ (or at least legal). Them drooling underaged people that could be their own children is gross tbh.

That's not a good photoshoot.... most of them are good looking and you can't see it here

I need to start learning their faces.
But preferably from different pictures. anyone?

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Do you wanna put names to faces? You could watch Winner TV or track the "yg winner" tag (or their tags individually) on tumblr for a while...airport pics? XD

Here (http://aroncare.co.vu/post/88914199603) is a helpful photo set, too.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Flip flops actually, which it's even worse lol.

[coldhives.livejournal.com]

They look good but the styling is so awful

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

They're hot but the styling here is godawful.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I actually liked this shoot 'till I scrolled to sandals (WTF Mino, WTF!). Also KSY's last pic was tragic.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

mino needs to stop making that face lawl



i wish those pants were tighter

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

#justiceforHoonie Burn all bucket hats!
Jinwoo is killing me

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

Questionable fashion statements but they will always look pretty to me.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

I like the styling, it says 'i'm wealthy and IDGAF"

[kurochibimask.livejournal.com]

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

loving mino's rockabilly look. it suits him really well. Soon enough he can sit with bae and kwonnie front row in a slimane show

[missaoki.livejournal.com]

My manager is going on a business trip to Korea and the only thing I wanted her to buy me is a copy of GQ Korea *puppy eyes*
