These news outlets could give fansites a run for their money!
- February Individual Idol Brand Reputation Rankings Announced
- BTS’s Jungkook, (G)I-DLE’s Jeon Soyeon, SEVENTEEN’s Vernon, And More Promoted To Full Members Of Korea Music Copyright Association
- BTS’s Jungkook’s “GOLDEN” Becomes 1st K-Pop Solo Album In Billboard 200 History To Chart For 10 Weeks
There are some reasons that most K-Pop fans prefer fansite photos to press and media pics. After all, most Korean news outlets don’t pay much attention to lighting, angles, and all the other components that go into a stunning picture. However, in a recent trending Pann post, netizens uncovered that some idols have journalist photos that are simply “legendary”—here are the pics that made it into the list.
1. Jennie (BLACKPINK)
Ilgan Sports took this photo of BLACKPINK’s Jennie in 2018 when she attended a pop-up store opening for Chanel—but it looks so stunning that you could almost mistake it for a Chanel magazine pictorial.
2. Jungkook (BTS)
All eyes were on BTS’s Jungkook when he appeared at The Fact Music Awards in a simple suit but handsome. In this photo taken by BNT International, he glowed like an angel in the sunshine.
3. Jin (BTS)
SPOTV News caught BTS’s Jin unaware in this snap from the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards red carpet, but fans say the press pic oozes royal billionaire vibes.
4. V (BTS)
The 2019 Fact Music Awards red carpet really transformed into a professional BTS photoshoot. Alongside Jungkook’s impressive press pics, Star News caught V striking a pose fit for a magazine cover.
5. Joy (Red Velvet)
This Global Economy photo of Red Velvet’s Joy at a 2019 Bvlgari perfume pop-up event will have you wondering how she’s even real, let alone how she looks so good in a press pic.
6. Yeri (Red Velvet)
Global Economy seems to have a knack for taking Red Velvet photos. This picture comes from Yeri’s high school graduation back in 2018, but if you take the school uniform out of the equation, that perfect smile could be part of a CF advertisement.
7. Jaehyun (NCT)
Is it possible to take a bad photo of NCT’s Jaehyun? Probably not, but this News1 pic from the Hope Donation Relay Campaign earlier this year is particularly incredible.
8. Yuna (ITZY)
Everything about this Sports Today photo of ITZY’s Yuna at the group’s debut showcase screams professional pictorial, from the angles to the hair to the beauty.
9. Ryujin (ITZY)
In reality, this debut era photo of ITZY’s Ryujin is a press picture from Ilgan Sports. However, take away the watermark, and you could easily mistake this for a magazine cover shot.
10. Suzy
Last but certainly not least, check out this photo of Suzy from Ilgan Sports. She looks so stunning, it’s almost impossible to believe it was snapped in the spur of the moment.
