A new look for Park Yong-ha’s new album
by javabeans
Yiiikes. Love ya, dude (Story of a Man rules all, y’all), but singer-actor Park Yong-ha‘s artwork for his new Japanese single album is, um, maybe not the best way to showcase his lovely features.
Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s a concept at work — I just think it’s a little harsh and borderline garish. The imagery is supposed to evoke a Pierrot mask (those clown masks with white faces and a painted teardrop); I say at least there’s a second image showing him looking more like his usual gentle image. (See below.)
His eighth Japanese single for the song “Saiaino hito” (“The person I love the most”) will be released on November 18 in Japan. The track is also featured on the OST for the upcoming Japanese drama Christmas Miracle, which will begin airing in November.

I think he's a great singer. I like his voice! :) Yeah... he looks better without the pierrot make-up. :)
Does anyone knows when will be his next acting project?

I really liked him in On Air. He has a a very good screen presence. Intense yet understated.

There's some nice hair there on PYH.
I wonder how they get it to look like that. hair styling is not so easy, and i guess it goes without saying that PYH had a professional do his hair, but still. Nicely done with the moisturizing, the 'clean' (not gelly or sticky or waxy or clumped) look, with a good deal of shine... and yet styled...

Kirito (ex-PIERROT) did it better. :P

So did So Ji Sup, for that matter.

I like Park Yong-ha, don't get me wrong, but I think that this concept could have been portrayed better, or perhaps should have been for a different project entirely.

I love the Crow!!! ;)
Actually it would be all sorts of awesome if we get a K-drama involving a Visual Kei band member and a EGL fanatic. They could call it Alice and Malice. :D

Yeah! Damn him for doing something artistic!
Artists should never do anything ever that gets in the way of their hot looks. Thank goodness they made a second cover without the face paint otherwise I would have completely forgotten what he really looks like and would not have bought the album.
Now I can swoon at his completely vanilla alternate photo everytime I listen to the song!

Looks like some visual kei nonsense.
Thanks for the translation; you'd think with a title like that the cover would be a little more, I don't know, welcoming?

He sings, too! I'm not likely to get over my puppy love for him any time soon--Story of a Man, Shin...ahhhhhhh--so I'm REALLY curious to hear his singing voice. Meltable, I'm sure.
I don't understand the Pierrot mask, though. ....
But, you know what, whatever! ^.^

@15 --whoa there, Tiger. Before you get your Thursday panties in a twist over this, I think the issue with the first pic is not that people are annoyed Park Yong-ha did something "artistic", but that the intent is confusing. Does the picture really have a profound, artistic meaning, or did someone see a still of a Pierrot mask and go, "cool!"?
It's not that people don't "get it", aren't supporting his "art", or only care about his face...the "why?" is a valid question. Let people ask it without attempting to throw down proof your greater artistic integrity.
Sheesh. I need coffee, stat.

Don't like the first picture. Love the second. I can't wait to see him in a new drama or movie. I like him as a singer too but I wish he has would sing more in Korean. I know the Japanese fans love him and it makes sense for him to produce albums in Japanese, but please have one or two songs in Korean.

LOL! I haven't actually been keeping count, but I did notice that you have posted quite a few times about hairstyles, Binnie cuts, shampoos, gels vs pommades vs hair wax, your hairstylist (Angela in New Jersey, was it?), etc. I'm guessing you are really into great hair :)
