If you haven't heard of K-Pop, then you must have been living under a rock. A whole generation of teens, early to mid-twenty-somethings, have catapulted a culture of upbeat and melodic pop, R&B, and hip-hop hits, paired with stunning visual effects and aesthetics made possible through detailed styling of the wonderful world of high fashion. Like here in America, fashion is always being led by trailblazers who are sitting high at the top of their field. They take chances, set style standards, and above all else, lead the pack. In the heart of South Korea, the K-Pop capital, this is no different.

He recently made waves donning red lipstick in an endorsement for cosmetic brand The SAEM's "Global Eco Red" lipstick. An article for allkpop.comrecently wrote, "The idol proved that lipstick isn't only meant for the ladies as he somehow manages to look effortlessly cool and charismatic, while going for a sexy red-and-black color combo with his shades and lipstick."
