TOP and Yoon Eun-hye heat up the pages of W
by javabeans
I just have one main problem with this W magazine photo spread featuring Yoon Eun-hye and TOP: I think there’s a little bit of discrimination going on here. Where be his nekkidness? You’ve got her sans shirt and crawling all over him, and there he is, all buttoned up and decent. This is a problem.
I think we’re going to have to invoke that equal opportunity half-nudity clause of fashion shoots to correct this imbalance. What, there’s no such thing, you say? Well, clearly this is an issue the industry needs to address. For equal rights, and stuff.
Okay, so maybe I can see the appeal of having a TOP-bot lying around (snerk) to do your bidding, even if he’s only your Absolute Boyfriend on the technicality that you bought him. I still don’t really see him as the perfect gentleman robot, though, more the scary-sexy manborg you’d need to program with a child-lock key and a safeword. (And yes, I’d watch that drama.)

it's because he doesn't have a good body and he's self insecure about his hairy chest. I would know because, well it's a secret.

I'd say he might have had some issues since after weight loss, the skin doesn't usually go back prettily. I've always assumed that he probably had some excess skin there or something that would not be a nice looking to most people. (Personally, don't care.)

His insecurity probably stems from his belly skin sagging so much from losing too much weight. There was once a performance on a music show where the choreography had them slightly move their shirt up. From then on comments about his jiggly skin just poured in like crazy. Probably scarred him or something.
But I keep thinking it's been years...WHAT IS TOP HIDING?!

maybe there's some stretch marks and slightly loose skin still left from his weight loss.

"T.O.P.-bot". Heh - more like a Vulcan-bot - all dude needs is pointy ears and we're all set to rock.
Seriously, never thought about it, but I can see these two getting together for a drama involving all kinds of hotness, "safe word" or no.
YEH is a beautiful girl, but apparently hasn't felt the need for clothing these last two months. Just how hot is it in Korea right now?

Well, see that right there is one reason why TOP won't take the role if it's offered to him. Because if memory serves, Tenjo Night the bot kinda arrives sans clothing. In fact, he's kinda fond of getting nekkid, as I recall.

I was thinking that she'd been sans clothes for the past few shoots I've seen her in. It must be super hot over there...
As for TOP, I don't get it. He totally doesn't do it for me. He does have a strong aura about him. However, even though i don't get him, I'm all for equality of nudity. Here's to shirts off!

I am willing to help TOP overcome his aversion to 'nekkidness'. This is coming from a purely (purely) selfless place of course.
C'mon TOP! We will still love you with your shirt off or some upper arm showing. Heck, we may even love you more. Rephrase - we may even lust you more. Hot pictures. YEH can bring the sexy and TOP can bring the smolder.

Actually its not just lately that she's been doing risque photoshoots. She's been doing it for years so desperate she's not. And if she was that desperate for exposure, she wouldn't have rejected the movie offered to her to star next to Chow Yun Fat, Tamaki Hiroshi and Alec Su.
This photoshoot with T.O.P is mild compared to what she has done for W Magazine in May 2009 and also for her ad in Puma years ago. Yoon Eun Hye has always said that she sets no limitations when it comes to her editorial photoshoots.

Y'all know, if TOP plays Zettai Kareshi he must be filmed all nekkid when his owner opens the package she ordered. He'll be like, "oh Barbie, I'm dress-me-up-Ken doll." Zettai Kareshi is anatomically correct to fulfill every heart's desire of his owner's demands. I hope a cable show takes the drama so the script can get more playful, otherwise, put it in a movie version please.
