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.

Light is an integral part of every fashion shoot and can be used to enhance an image and make the subject truly shine. Nu’est’s bright clothes pop more thanks to the cool mirage effect used by Arena Homme Plus magazine, while actor Seo Kang-joon’s minimalist look complements the twilight haze of his set for GQ. Exo’s Suho and actor Lee Dong-wook relax in dappled sunshine, while the cold light in Rain’s photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar draws out the shades of blue and gray in the urban backdrop. Then there’s Rosé of Blackpink, Irene and Seulgi of Red Velvet and JB of Got7, who all pose bathed in a warm flood of light that gives their pictures a sun-kissed summery glow. Flick through these photos to find your favourite lighting effect.
