JoKwon Men's Health Oct. Edition Update+Review

Now we have the cover shot..and then some.More JoKwon hotness as he was photographed in several different styles and concepts..darn I wish  they sell this edition in my country.


I was reading some non-fans comments on this particular cover photo of Kwonnie and was laughing my head off at some of the reactions.What was that again..it's all just Photoshopping effects?You've got to be kidding me.Sure the "oily" look is almost standard procedure for most photo shoots emphasizing muscles and body shots and of course some standard Photoshop works had to be involved,I mean let us not forget that this IS a MAGAZINE COVER after all.But really,those muscles and sinews of his are REAL,people.

Yes,he's not massively build but at a height of 175cm Kwon has an amazing body packed with lean muscles and wide shoulders and a sexy back due to his 3 hard years of working out and training constantly.His original build was a small and skinny body (I'm being honest here,when he was still a high school he was a scrawny kid!) but as a result of his disciplined and dedicated workouts for years,he still is a slender guy with slim waist but now no one can question whether those carved muscles are real or not.All you have to do to find out the truth is watch some YouTube videos of Kwon in all his topless glory,then you'll get your answer.Hmm..this makes me feel like I should edit some kind of a video compiling all of those "related" scenes.

On that thought,why not just watch this little clip here for a little memory "refreshement".It's one of my most favourite "sexy bod" clip of Kwonnie and it came from an episode of FO2 where he wasn't even trying to be so(he was actually just going with the flow)but I watched it and I go..damn he's sexy(although he really has that thing where he looks a thousand time hotter when he's ANGRY..but that discussion shall be for another blog entry).






Okay,back to business.JoKwon's projected image can so easily be changed with a simple twist to his hairstyle and his facial expression;all you need is something that is different to the ones he usually has, and this photo here is a very good example.Whenever he has his front bangs in an "updo" as seen here in this classic hairstyle for men, and with the non-smiling "set-in-concentration" expression he has on,Kwon can convince people that he's years older than his real age of 21 years and looked much more matured and manly than his usual cutesy funny image.I'm predicting that he wore a suit from Dior Homme line here,and if there's a guy that could succesfuly pull off those sleek,slim looks that is a signature of that line nobody can do it better than someone like Kwon.

The slim waist with overwhelmingly wide shoulders that Kwon now has as a result of his years of workout on his originally small and skinny build which I mentioned earlier is evidently obvious in this photo.I am particularly a big fan of the silhouetted shot on the left; there's a sense of mystery about him in this photo,as if he's saying there are still many sides of him that his fans have yet to see while the photo on the right reinforces the fact that while JoKwon is a pretty boy you can't ignore that he is also the owner of a gorgeous male physique.




Of all the Men's Health photos of Kwon that has been released so far,this one here is my best pick and I have a feeling it will stay a favourite of mine for a long time to come.In term of sexiness,I rate this photo way higher than the cover photo where Kwonnie bares it all.Why?Because in this shot JoKwon exudes sensuality and manly charisma and he managed to be sexy without showing even a hint of his muscled body.The concept of the photo hinted at a style akin to a poster for a movie or even a musical and the answer to that will probably be revealed if we read the magazine itself,but Kwon's expression here is just perfect with the overall style and mood.And although the handcuffs were probably for added effects of putting Kwon in character,it only serves to give Noona fans like me the ideas of..well..inappropriate thoughts(forgive this bad Noona,Kwonnie).

Overall,I really love the photos for Kwon's spread in Men's Health and wishes that more chances like this (solo photoshoot) will be given to JoKwon in the future (just like SeulOng the Model).And on an interesting note,Bang ShiHyuk PD mentioned in one of his tweets that this is the style and look that he and Kwon wishes to show to fans for the latter half of 2010.So does that mean that we fans can look forward to more of Kwon in this dashingly hot concept for the upcoming full album then,Hitman Bang?

  1. First time comment here. I'm also Kwonnie's noona fans hahaha.. i really2 love this photoshoot. I'm in love with Kwon's diva personality, like you've said he has "sensuality" when he poses serious, love when he puts his emotion on singing too. And i don't think this is photoshopped, well a little bit edited here and there to create the effect perhaps. But man, that muscles are REAL. If you following his show, and he's very proud of it. Choco abs that kill all the noonas.hehe
    i want to give another proof but YT deleted that vid, it's BTS Americano Dutch CF, he's showing his abs <3 <3
