Lee Junki’s album cover
by javabeans
Discuss.
The question is: What do you call this, exactly? Is it a li’l bit glam rock, a li’l bit ’70s porn star, a li’l bit albino elf?
Actor Lee Junki (Time of Dog and Wolf, My Girl) recently released a teaser video for his upcoming music video, “J Style,” and now he’s released the artwork for his album jacket. Apparently the concept behind the photo shoot was an homme fatale who combines angel with devil. (Psst, I don’t see how this is either “homme” or “fatale.”)
You’ve gotta hand it to the guy to be bold and ballsy with his style. He’s got a lot of ideas and he uses them to full attention-getting effect. (Too bad I hate all his ideas, but I’m sure somebody out there likes this look… I think?)
Lee Junki will hold his “Episode 2” fan concert on April 18, and will be releasing his solo album in time for the event.

admit that it's totally eyecatching-reminds me of the jpop/jrock style. But i also think this image makes him look waaay too girly. i wonder if the music will be as quirky as the style. it would suck if he ends up singing your usual kpop ballad.
I hope he doesn't end up overextending himself by going into singing too. I think he has pretty good potential of being a serious actor - he should focus on it.

I don't hate it, but it's pretty interesting. It's eye-catching and I guess you sorta get used to it after a while. Like many have already stated, he obviously knows how to create "hype". Aha, or maybe it just happens to create hype and he loves this idea. o-o

I like it. I would like it better if his eye makeup were darker and his lips colorless.

I take it back about David Bowie.
On second thought....he reminds me of Daryl Hannah's character in Blade Runner.

lol other commenters beat me to it:
I think everyone's a bit inspired by Lady Gaga these days.
Case in point: Beyonce's mv "Diva"

Turned me off completely. I love LJK and all, but this doesn't suit him. J-rock style - well not completely - I mean the pose didn't correspond to the style at all. It's too white and hmm freaky???

I hate to admit, but I think its kinda nice,:D
Maybe I am just biased, but still, I think its nice.
This is completely off his image before,a cute and gentle guy.
Oh my, you should have seen his sizzling MV...
Maybe this is just something new and it takes time for people to accept it.
BUT STILL....
I LOVE YOU LEE JUN KI<3

In other words, a total turn-off. Too weird for me :(

i don't get why people are comparing him to rain. junki far surpasses him in terms of interpretation and expression, imho.
this concept is so totally HOT. Biscuit said it best. this is bold and fresh. and i'm glad that there's someone out there who is willing to break the mold of the average boyband / artist.
lee junki. ftw!

A lot of people seem to be unfairly biased against him for being 'too feminine'. It might not suit your taste but there's no need to dismiss everything he does out of hand. I personally think his gender ambiguity is empowering and its to his credit that he can be both 'masculine' and 'feminine' without being tied down by any one notion.
As for the album cover, Junki embodies art and I love how he lends his physicality to artistic expression.

Now let me preface this by saying how much I seriously think
Lee Jun ki is a totally hottie...an...erm...underappreciated actor....and an okay singer. I like him because he's shiny, and pretty, and its always fascinating a man's voice come out of woman's face...
but when he dresses up like the 1980'sDavid Bowie in the Labrynth/The Ghost of Christmas Past/Present/NEVER.....
eww...okay. I've got the heebie jeebies. its like seeing Micheal Jackson for the first time after he dyed his skin white. And started hanging babies over banisters. and wearing only military style lapeled jacket with brocade accents. and being an alleged child-molester....
weirdo... 0_o . it would've been better if he'd dressed up as a gigantic banana and rode the subway or something. People can relate to riding the subway - and people like to eat bananas...
At least he'd look less like the antichrist. Or a cosplay villain.

Wait a minute... that was a guy?! I mean, when I first saw his name I assumed (correctly) it was the Junki of 'My Girl', 'Time of...' and 'Iljimae' fame, until I saw the pictures. Like others I have noted how fine his features are, how at certain angles they can be strikingly feminine or prettily masculine. But here he looks like a straight-up girl to me. A very pretty, creepy girl who's trying a touch too hard to be 'artistic'.

Dont you guys think hes lookin' like Jiro from taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit here? Undoubtedly in a more feminine version. ^_^ But it DOES resembles Jiro, uhm - in CERTAIN pictures of his somewhat "gothic" album.
