Hot or Not: The Thespian Men of February

It's been a while since we've done a "hot or not". Let's take a look at the male actors in some of S. Korea's top magazines. I think the cold weather has led to some cold shoots. In general, I would love to see some more dynamic actions in these shots.

News/Commentary: Lee Seung-gi and Hung Joon in drag

Continuing on historical fashion, co-stars, Hung Joon, Suzy, and Lee Sung-gi recently wore female hanboks on the set of their drama, Gu Family Book.

Korean traditional clothing is actually pretty cute. Out of the two guys, I definitely think Lee Seung-gi is more feminine, especially in his baby blue hanbok. While cross-dressing is a bit taboo in the United States, many Korean actors and idols have no qualms about embracing their femininity. I mean, how many times has Super Junior dressed in drag for concerts?

Do you like when male celebrities cross-dress? I think it shows a more comedic side to them, and it's always fun to see them joking around. What do you think?

Check out the preview for Episode 17 (ENG):

Get the Look: Kdrama Inspiration from the Past

There are many popular Korean dramas that are set in the way past (e.g. 'Faith', 'Arang and the Magistrate', 'The Great Seer', 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal', etc.). I really enjoy seeing this historical fashion while watching these shows. Instead of forcing you all to read about the history of Korean fashion, I decided it would be nice to draw inspiration from these in a Get the Look.

Get the Look: Iris 2 (Part 1)

Hey guys, today I am inspired by a drama that just recently ended, Iris 2, staring Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk. It is a sequel set three years after the death of a NSS Agent back in Iris 1 (staring Kim Tae Hee and Lee Byun Hun).

I was loving everything that was worn in the drama, but unfortunately I was only able to choose two characters. Starting off with Yoon So-Yi; In the drama she plays the part of Iris. I love the stylist choices in picking clothes for this particular character because what she wears seems to be trendy, yet it gives her a strong feminine vibe.

To The Beautiful Kang Taejun (and Seungri sunbae)

This is the second and last part of my "To The Beautiful You" finds :) These finds are only up to episode 10 and I won't do more finds from this drama ~ I think Eliza has some finds from "To The Beautiful You" though  :D

Anyways. This time it's about Kang Taejun played by SHINee's Minho! 

Last time I posted about Cha Eungyeol (or Lee Hyunwoo as his real name is) so I had to make a post about Taejun also, right? 

In episode 10 Minho is wearing a sweater from Lacoste and their L!VE collection. I couldn't find this exact colourway...only a red and green one. If this seems familiar, then it's because SNSD Yoona wore the female,  crop edition of this in the Japanese version of "Oh!" :D I actually really like the yellow one she wore. 

Get the different colourway here for 145$.

In another episode Minho wore a sweater from Obey. I found myself laughing a bit at this, because "To The Beautiful You" is sponsored by a Korean sports brand called New Balance. They made quite a thing out of hiding brand names and logos on clothes which WAS NOT from their sponsors. Anyways this went by completely unnoticed xD All other shirts and sweaters and whatsoever had coloured tape over the logo/name (just see the Lacoste sweater above). But apparently nobody bothered to hide Obey's name away. Lazy? A bit maybe, but I really don't like seeing tape on shirts. Nobody wears that in real life...seriously xD 

If you want this sweater I have a buy link which I am not familiar with here. Seems quite fair though. 

And finally Seungri-sunbae! I have no idea what his real name is...who is this actor?? He's handsome ~ teehee ~ oh my, getting off topic!!! o___o

I was kinda happy/thrilled when I saw this find. And of course surprised! I'd never thought I would see something like this in a Korean drama! His jacket is from Hummel! Hummel is a Danish sport clothing brand. It is highly respected in Denmark - even more respected than Nike and Adidas (no joke. I'm Danish). 

Sadly you'll have to stay put with different colourways. This might be from a couple of years ago, can't find this exact colourway anywhere...Buy it here in other colours though.

To The Beautiful Cha Eungyeol

So many finds o_o just wow! I'll post those I've found, not really bothering to do finds I'm not sure about from this drama xD There's plenty of obvious finds even so ~ I'll separate this into two posts because there are SO many Cha Eungyeol (Lee Hyunwoo) finds in "To The Beautiful You"! :) 

First off! (taking these finds in no particular order) 

Hyunwoo is wearing a shirt from Kathleen Kye. I had problems finding this exact model, but it looks like a morph between her shirts 002 and 007 (yes, their names are numbers). You could get 002 here, but it's sold out and 007, the green one, here. I really suspect this shirt of being 007 in an alternate colourway. 

In another episode he wore a sweater from Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott. I think this was in episode 10.  I don't have a buy link :( 

This was requested, so I'm sorry that I don't have a buy link...

Jung Il Woo's "First Look"

Hi guys, so this is a SUPER obvious find, but forgive me. So for this month's "First Look" actor Jung Il Woo rocked the MCM's "Stark-- Large Backpack" in Blue. This bag has been seen on many other idols in the past.

Buy the bag here

The Sexiest Shirt in the World

YES! YES! YES!

Everybody should get on their knees and bow down to Leyla right now, she gave us the BEST TIP EVER! But that's my bias talking, haha.

This was also requested by... Fudge, I know someone requested this, but I can't find the request under the requests tab? Well, whoever it is, here you go!

I write this post as I listen to MBLAQ's Mona Lisa, I'm deciding whether or not I'm too lazy to post on their clothes...

Hee hee, so happy, here we go!

In a photoshoot that was used for a bunch of magazines (Japanese Magazine '号外 ＋act.' July11 Issue, FINEBOYS magazine, WPK 2011 Summer, Junon August Issue, Korisuta, China YG Magazine June Issue) I think that's about it... I probably missed one. Shinee's Taemin wore a sexsi LSD shirt from Bernhard Willhelm's S/S 2011 collection along with a Moon Brooch Rhodium from Cheap Monday's S/S 2011 collection.



Yoo Ah In wore the tee at Mnet's 20 Choice Awards too.

This is a link for Euros. Here's Cheap monday's site for the brooch.
