Welcome back to For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take the time out of the week to share with you all some of the best and most recent photos tied to the K-pop landscape.
So far, the beginning of the year has been kind of quiet on the domestic YG front. So what exactly have YG artists been up to? While some have been busy globetrotting, others have been recording; some have been doing both, and almost all have been spending some time posing in front of the cameras.
Amazingly, all four of the ladies of 2NE1 were independently shot to be published in the March 2013 issues of four different fashion magazines (Elle, Allure, Marie Claire, and Harper’s Bazaar), with the bonus addition of Dara (the new face of Clio cosmetics) simultaneously securing the March cover CeCi Beauty as well!
Here is a selection of some of my favorite photos of YG artists from recent publications or photo releases:

So what will YG artists be up to next? Consider this the calm before the storm: For the month of March alone, it’s been RUMORED that G-Dragon, Lee Hi, and 2NE1 will all be returning with new albums, Gummy will be releasing an OST track for That Winter, the Wind Blows, Psy will touring all over Australia as part of the Future Music Festival, and 2NE1 will be featuring on will.i.am‘s fourth solo album #willpower, also due out in the same month.
Are you as excited as I am (provided Papa YG isn’t trolling us) for the month of March?
