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.

Photos tell stories. Out of the countless editorial shoots coming out of Korea, these are some standout ones. IVE‘s An Yujin looks like she stepped out of a teenage rom-com from the early aughts as she glances at viewers despite the golden hour light shining on her. Another star from a fourth-gen K-pop powerhouse group, aespa‘s Karina paints an intriguing story with her blown-up portrait on the wall and her actual self refusing to look at it, instead opting for her phone to take in the image.
