No nudity in Korean edition of Playboy

The Korean edition of the Playboy magazine hit the shelves of local bookstores Monday covering a wide range of topics from celebrities to social and political issues, and lifestyles. There are no nude photos, its local publisher Kaya Media Corp. said.

Kaya Media Corp. signed a contract in January with Playboy Enterprises, the owner of the U.S. magazine, to publish the Korean version of the 63-year-old monthly magazine.

Playboy was launched in December 1953 by Hugh Hefner, and has become one of the most recognized adult magazines in the world.

In recent years, however, it tried to stay relevant by adapting to the trends of the times. As part of such efforts, the company decided not to print nudity in the magazine in March last year. But it reversed the decision earlier this year to bring nude photos back.

Cooper Hefner, the founder's son, wrote on his Twitter in February, "I'll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated but removing it entirely was a mistake."

the grunge-ish thing he always has for shoots gets so boring, imo. i like the wide-legged pants w/ the suit jacket & the sparkly chelsea boots, tho

I'm okay with everything else except the pants in the 5th photo. I hate that kind of retro-fashion..

I assume Korean Playboy is along the same lines as Japanese Playboy and thus they do more pictorials with celebs than they do nudie pics.

Anyway, his entire aesthetic is so passe to me tbh it's like looking at my high school tumblr lmaooo.

I like the second to the last pic where he's sitting on the chair. It just seems the least try hard and gives a different feel, a different vibe than all the other photos in this set.
