For Your Viewing Pleasure: Lean In

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

Hey, you! Yes, you. Lean in a little closer. These stars beckon us and stare us down, the ordinary people on the other side of the screen. The original NCT U of “7th Sense”—Taeyong, Mark, Jaehyun, Doyoung, and Ten—peer above viewers, crafting an ant’s eye view alongside the expansive white space above the musicians’ heads. Others, meanwhile, take no notice, like rookie quartet Kiss of Life in their first editorial photoshoot with Dazed. Yet the tightly framed image draws us into the bright colors and the radiant light, reflective of the celebratory feeling expressed by the members.
