THE BOYZ Sunwoo and Eric look stunning in their pictorial for Marie Claire Korea's August issue
THE BOYZ's members have stunning visuals, which they have lent to several brands like Gucci, Fendi, Dior, and Ferragamo. Sunwoo and Eric look absolutely gorgeous in their magazine pictorial, as they rock classic silhouettes for the photoshoot. The K-pop boy band has previously released a hit single, Drink It, that had a vamp-like feel to it. As such, for the pictorial, the members opted for a similar look.
With their outfits, Sunwoo and Eric create an interesting contrast of black and white, representing their individuality while also portraying how one can't do without the other. The K-pop idols went with a natural makeup look, showing a beautiful dewy base. They kept the rest of their makeup nude-toned, with neutral lips and cheeks.
The duo brought variety with their hairstyles as they went with two different hair looks for the shoot, one being a casual, messy look, while the other being a slightly neater, parted hairdo. Thus, Sunwoo's natural black hair created a stunning contrast with Eric's dirty blonde, further elevating the play of light and shadow for this pictorial.
As evident from the reactions, netizens swooned over the looks of THE BOYZ's members, with some even exclaiming that they will need "poster-sized pictures" of the magazine pictorial. A Twitter user even jokingly said that they are struggling to keep up as THE BOYZ managed to bag a feature with Marie Claire Korea as well.
Marie Claire Korea's August issue features the K-drama star Kim Tae-ri on the magazine cover. The August issue will also consist of pictorials and interviews from EXO's D.O. and MONSTA X's I.M.
