We’ve seen many k-pop groups take on the cover of Elle Girl magazine and this time, they’ve brought you, that’s right, no one else but the boys of MBLAQ! The boys are going to ‘give it to your y’ with their simplicity this time round!

MBLAQ’s second youngest, Thunder, is seen wearing shorts and a outer shirt with black flower printed designs on it. In my opinion, the shorts are far too short, revealing his milky thighs, but who’s complaining right?

Ah, everybody’s favourite boy. Lee Joon is seen in this photo with his shawl around his neck, his chocolate abs shown to the world. You can see his v-line, nobody’s complaining about that either.

The youngest member of MBLAQ, Mir, is here with a solemn pose, donning on a sleeveless half checkered, half black top, with small accessories on his hands. All this seriousness doesn’t really show the true nature of this playful magnae, does it?

G.O., here, looks like a camper who got lost. A vintage-like bandana around his neck, shorts and a plain shirt is what he showcases and with his facial hair shaved off for their concept ‘Y’, doesn’t G.O. look more youthful and more of his age?

I honestly debated if I should post this up but I figured, a photo is still a photo and for this photo, you can figure out what’s going out in it yourself. I’m guessing the photographer doesn’t quite like Seungho, but I am very much liking his hair color in his photo.

I have to sincerely wonder though, what is with the relatively strange concepts that Korean magazines comes up with these days. But then again, we all do need to breathe a different air as compared to just sticking to skin, skin and more skin.

Well, that’s for me, at least.

MBLAQ went vintage for Vogue girl which is the total opposite from their old gothic style. With a Vespa in the shoot, the boys certainly made old school look pretty chic.

Lee Joon starts off with a plain black tank top, frilly black ripped jeans and a pair of gladiator sandals. This really emphasize on his awesome arm muscles and also the simplicity of the photo.

Mir wears a fishnet styled top with a pair of black jeans. With his serious expression, he really looks like one of those old school bad boys.

Thunder wears a baseball jacket on top of his V-neck shirt and paired it all with a pair of shorts and shades. Doesn’t he remind you of those classic movies jockey in high school?

Thunder’s unbuttoned top, suspenders, jeans and vest make him stand out. I guess he’s the quiet, cool one for the vintage shoot.

G.O pairs his skinny jeans with an Organice Fine Jersey Short Sleeve Leisure Shirt from American Apparel and a simple black tie, looking like one of those popular kids in high school.

Mir makes his second appearance in the magazine on a vespa with a Fred Perry Tipped Microfiber Jacket, a Staple Tank and a Steamer Hat from OBEY and a pair of Cheap Monday Tight Skinny Jeans. Mir also wears a pair of Red Wing Shoes from American Apparel.

Lee Joon played it simple by pairing a wife beater, cropped jeans and a Sartorini Broner hat. He also finishes the look with a pair of Dr Martens 1461 3 eye shoe, white patent lamper original men’s.

Seung Ho wore a graphic tee, tan cropped pants and a pair of white shoes. He worked it off and looked like a gangster back in the days.

G.O simply wore an Adidas Original t-shirt, jeans and a pair of black shoes.

Thunder seemed pretty laid back with a Fred Perry shirt over a red t-shirt, cropped jeans and a pair of oxford shoes.

Seung Ho seemed really gentlemen like when he wore a blue striped blazer with a white t-shirt underneath and paired it all off with ripped skinny heans and black shoes.

Lee Joon wore a Blazer by Beyond Closet by Tae Yong, grey graphic tee, white cropped jeans and a pair of Dr Martens 1461 3 eye shoe, white patent lamper original men’s. Which made him looked like a school boy with a sense of style.

So, which MBLAQ member looks best in Vintage?

The annual Dream Concert brings together the biggest acts in the Korean music industry for a night of fun, festivity, and of course, the glitz and glamor.

This is also the time when artists get the chance to not only strut their stuff on the red carpet, but also to amp up their usual performance outfits. However, most of this year’s performance outfits seemed a bit lackluster.

While you saw the boys looking dapper on the red carpet, how did their onstage style fare? Check out the performance photos of U-Kiss, F.Cuz, ZE:A, MBLAQ, C.N.Blue, BEAST, SHINee, SS501, Rain, 2PM and Super Junior below (in order of appearance onstage).

Who do you think is best or worst dressed? Leave a comment and vote below!

U-Kiss kicked off the main show with 뭐라고 (Mworago) and 만만하니 (Manmanhani).

While they went with monochromatic black, their shiny accessories added flair and individuality to their outfits. I’m particularly liking Soo Hyun’s zippered and studded motorcycle jacket.

For their performance of ‘Jiggy’ and ‘No One’, the boys of F.Cuz also stuck with the neutrals in their black jeans, black vests, and white coats with black trim. Their stylists could do better by spicing it up with more than just rips and zippers on their jeans.

Finally! Some color! Okay, just a teensy tiny bit.

ZE:A/Children of Empire changed out of their all-white red carpet outfits and into grungy, street looks. Splashes of red and plaid were added to their distressed jeans and black tops.

The five disciples of Rain proved to look as stunning in suits, just like their mentor.

MBLAQ performed their new single Y, in their usual performance outfits — black and white satin suits. Simple but classy, with Lee Joon providing that satisfactory show of skin. Rain would be proud.

The band C.N. Blue was definitely a breath of fresh air, in more ways than one.

Instead of dance moves and ab-flashing, these boys were armed with their instruments and some serious skills at playing them. Not only that, they were the only ones who chose a light palette (shades of light blue, gray, white and khaki) for their outfits. They were a welcome stand out from the dark, tough-guy looks that night.

How’s this for a POP of color?

If BEAST’s suits were screaming red, so were their fans — screaming their lungs out that is. While I’m loving the fun prints on their white shirts, they looked too dressed-down for a big concert stage like this. The relaxed fit and the color of their pants also didn’t help with glamming up their looks. Regardless, to their fans, their beastly charisma were the only accessory they needed.

I guess SM Entertainment decided to give only one set of clothes to Shinee tonight.

Our favorite contemporary boys performed Ring Ding Dong and Noona, You’re So Pretty (Replay) in their red carpet outfits. But I’m not one to complain, I’m definitely loving Maknae Taemin’s necklace and Diva Key’s blazer!

The SS501 sunbaes showed the crowd how they’ve matured as men and as a group.

Looking handsome in classic black suits, they serenaded the stadium with a ballad. Hyun Joong, as always, looked like perfection in his well-fitting suit, and the others jazzed up theirs with silver statement necklaces. However, we see that Kyu Jong’s suit is not so classic after all — check out those wing-style sleeves.

Now, we can’t talk of hot men in suits without mentioning the World Star, Rain / Bi.

I, for one, am thankful that he decided to ditch the motorcycle gang outfits for Hip Song and slipped back into this slick ladies’ man outfit. The man shows the younger  boys how it’s done in his three-piece suit: black trousers, blue polo, gray vest and a black jacket — all of which fit him perfectly. The paisley tie is very Chuck Bass, and Rain pulls it off effortlessly.

While I voted for them as best-dressed on the red carpet, 2PM’s performance outfits were disappointing.

Sure, I get it, these are what you usually wear for Without U performances, but really? No upgrades aside from white stripes running down the inside of your pants? JYP, I know you’re busy with the Wonder Girls’ comeback, but please give these boys spicier, non-mugger-inspired outfits!

Super Junior is back with their new single, 미인아 Miinah (BONAMANA), despite being three members less. While the song is breaking sales records and winning hit charts, their Dream Concert outfits were… more of the same. Decked in all white, with cut-outs, mesh and open buttons — it looks like their stylists just recycled inspiration from their Sorry, Sorry concept and a bit of SNSD’s Run Devil Run as well.

So what are your opinions on this year’s Dream Concert performance outfits? Who got it right and who should hire a new stylist? Leave your comments below!

I have been told that the black shirt that Thunder from MBLAQ is wearing is a replica, and not the actual Dior Homme S/S 09 shirt. Sorry for the mistake!

Junho from 2PM was seen in the Dior Homme S/S 2009 collection cutout white shirt in the December issue of Ceci magazine, while Thunder from MBLAQ was seen the Dior Homme S/S 2009 collection cutout black shirt in the Star Interview pictures.

Both of them looked great in this shirt, but I’m feeling Junho’s look more. With simple styling and accessories, the shirt is brought into the limelight, presenting the cutouts of the shirt more.

Yes or No to this Dior Homme shirt? Many have told me that would rather have Junho shirtless (lol!) What about you?
