Song Joong Ki's Eccentric Louis Vuitton Pictorial for GQ Magazine Sparks Mixed Opinions

AKP STAFF

GQ Magazine released a special pictorial with Song Joong Ki and Louis Vuitton after he was selected as the new brand ambassador for the luxury brand.

In a daring departure from the conventional, Song Joong Ki flaunted his captivating visage and pronounced fashion versatility in an array of audacious outfits. From a pristine white suit to a stylish plaid ensemble, pattern-laden shirts, to an unexpected combination of a knit vest with jeans, Song Joong Ki unveiled a new facet of his charisma.

However, his distinctive visual presentation in this Louis Vuitton photo shoot elicited mixed reactions from the public. Despite Song Joong Ki's undeniably handsome features, some netizens expressed that the avant-garde composition of the photos and his outfits seemed to overshadow rather than complement his aesthetics. Thus, the pictorial sparked a debate, with many suggesting that the daring fashion choices did not fully capitalize on Song Joong Ki's handsome looks.

Netizens commented, "He definitely looks better with the chic and clean outfits," "These outfits are..." "The clothes he's wearing aren't too pretty," "He doesn't age," "The clothes he's wearing are weird," "Not my cup of tea," "I think it's okay," "I think it's cute," "Am I the only one that thinks these outfits are fun?" and "They are okay. I think it's different."

European fashion houses seem to no longer hide their true thoughts and intentions for the Asian Fashion Market. This is just being too bold in saying: "We Know How to Dress Clown Dolls who have logo fetish!" This is outright disgustingly bold to be so blunt in making a joke of Asian Idols and actors in photoshoots, magazine cover features, bulletin boards, .... on and on. Let's have a more critical eye and demand quality rather than just ga ga goo goo over idols who lack better judgment and are too thirsty and greedy to say, "hey, this is wrong for my image."

WTF are they turning him into a clown? He doesn't have the vibe for a trendy artistic look he has too much of a young fem boy look. I got second hand embarrassment.
