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

Lighting can make or break a photoshoot. It is the lighting tricks backstage that let colors dance on the photographic film and allow the subjects to shine through. Eccentric plays such as bright backgrounds, monochromes or distilled lighting add a bit of funk to pictorials. K-pop comeback teaser images heighten anticipation using these very means. Be it Luna‘s and Chungha‘s neon palette or TVXQ‘s blurry teasers, the following pictorials exemplify the power of good lighting:

  • Senghoon (Winner) | Millions
  • Chungha | Gotta Go
  • Mino (Winner) | Elle
  • XIumin (Exo) | Love Shot
  • Hyuna and E’Dawn | Dazed & COnfused
  • Luna (fx) | Even So
  • TVXQ | Truth of Love
  • Xia (JYJ) | GQ
  • WayV
