For Your Viewing Pleasure: On White

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.

White might seem like a boring choice, or even a colour some might avoid because of the inconvenience it brings. White items are easily stained and often brings out an image of overwhelming innocence. Those going for an edgier look might not seek white. However, the colour proves to be far more versatile, as long as one knows how to change it up with a variety of materials, textures, and accessories. Lee Sung-kyung‘s white denim jacket clearer brings out personality, whereas Rain and Lee Ha-nui both opt for tight-fitting basic white tops to allure. Going beyond the conventional notions of purity that comes with the colour white, this selection of photos express the diversity that white can bring if one has the imagination to tap on.
