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.

Given the dominance of bizarre sounds in Korean music, it is unsurprising that its fashion trends also tread the line of the unconventional. The bursts of color are effectively balanced by the darker, richer palettes of reds and blacks. Mix in a bit of neon lights or glitter and the sensual shades of crimson and ebony come alive. Be it the dangerous mood exuded by Baekhyun or the uneasiness of looking at Seulgi’s perfect poise, the following photographs embody the sinister charm of the dark side of the spectrum:

  • Chanyeol (Exo) | Obsession
