Kim Hyun Joong looked too hot to handle in black with a peek at his swoon-worthy abs which he's been diligently maintaining for his role as a fighter on 'Generation of Youth'. The black fur also added flair to the otherwise neutral pictorial and his serious expressions showcased his maturing acting skills.

During the shoot he opened about playing his character Shin Jung Tae in his upcoming drama as he shared, "Although I know the feeling of pure love, it is not easy to portray it... But I am having fun fighting. But I feel more at ease when I'm on the receiving end of the attacks rather than when I'm the one giving out the punches." 

'Generation of Youth' is a romantic noir drama set in the 1930s centered around young fighters and their story of love and friendship. It will premiere later today!
