This series will explore some idols with so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols.

Back to this week’s feature! Key is famous as a member of the legendary boy group SHINee and as a soloist in many aspects. He is one of the leading fashionistas in the K-Pop industry and, as we’ve said in the title of this article, a walking masterpiece. Firstly, he looks like he just stepped out of a portrait. His porcelain beauty is the type of inspiration that artists look for and make their muse. Key has a sophisticated handsome appearance that makes one want to take another look at him. He is the perfect example of a high fashion model as he can pull off any look. Key is not afraid to experiment with different visual effects either. He experiments with textures and even has an innate artistic expression in the way that he dresses. For example, looking at some of his fashion looks (be it in his everyday life or through his stage outfits) will show how carefully he considers his attire before wearing it. He has often mentioned certain styling elements in his outfit that have a specific reason, proving how intentional he is about his style. He especially pays attention to smaller details, even in his daily casual looks. Of course, we can’t forget how big a role Key has played in the K-Pop fashion world. He is one of the pioneers when it comes to certain styles, especially genderless and androgynous fashion. Key has proven that fashion has no boundaries and that breaking fashion stigmas is a beautiful thing. He makes every fashion style look graceful. If you knew nothing about K-Pop or SHINee, Key would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree?
