A Suit Distraction

Red Carpet Snaps - Baeksangs!

They had great light for this red-carpet stroll—even if I don’t love the outfits or find them particularly special, everyone looks FANTASTIC.

I mean. The line of Yeo Jin-Gu, Kim Soo-Hyun, and cutie-gramps Ahn Sung-Ki is pretty much a trifecta of win, anyhow.

Kim Soo-Hyun’s jacket is cheeky, and though the pattern is busy I like that it has a pattern. Yeo Jin-gu’s suit is a nice sheeny black and simple, except for the exquisite fit. Which, on a teen boy, is quite amazing. Ahn Sung-Ki’s wearing the exact same classic look but brings to it such a different vintage aura it wasn’t until I looked closer that I realized it.

Okay, so we know how hard it is to uglify Kim Soo-Hyun. They gave him an impossibly bad perm and a feed-sack wardrobe to try and surprise us with his beauty, in Dream High. It only barely worked. This shoot makes me think of the comment made in What’s Up, Fox about the pretty girl as a model “You’re too pretty—pretty faces don’t make the clothes look good.”

I think Kim Soo-Hyun’s actually not a fantastic model, because I don’t really look past his face to the clothes, but he sure tried. Love the different settings, and the range of blues and blacks. The odd vest in the black and white photo looks like the most edgy piece, but otherwise these are all solid looks that Soo-Hyun kind of overwhelms.

It’s good to see him in civvies instead of sageuk regalia though. Good one, Bazaar.
