Welcome back to For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.

There are a number of poses that are standard in group photos: serious, happy, funny, etc. When taking photos of K-pop groups, the challenge seems to be coordinating a shot where the essence comes through and each member looks good. Group photos are interesting because there are different energies working together to evoke some sort of feeling.
