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.

Not only are these stars under the bright lights of the stage and the glare of the public eye, in these photoshoots, they confidently take their place where the lights are the brightest, regardless of the shadows that also exist. The8 from Seventeen teams up with Dazed to create a dramatic image: he walks towards the harsh light with his shadow growing behind him. A concept photo for Apink’s comeback, Look, uses a softer spotlight, with a gradient of blue and pink. Yet, these lights still highlight the faces of the members. HyunA and Dawn pose for the camera, caught in the glare of the bright flash.
