Charismatic and driven, JB is pushing K-pop boyband GOT7 to international success with his passion.
Formed barely five years ago, GOT7 already has numerous Korean and Japanese albums under its belt. This is no easy feat considering the amount of music the band has written on top of going on promotional tours and performing concerts. If passion were not fuelling the group on this strenuous journey, that fire would have been snuffed out sooner than later.
Curious to know more about this seemingly infinite fountain of fervour, Men’s Folio scored an opportunity to work with its magnetic leader, JB. Perhaps no other GOT7 member might embody the intense passion other than JB – a check on his CV reveals his extensive past projects from acting to music production.
“I want to be known as someone who can show various works in different areas of art, not in a specific area. I hope to try different things, tell the stories I want to tell, while producing something fun and cool,” shares JB. It is this endearing curiosity for life that sees the multi-hyphenate throwing himself headfirst into his various projects.
One would think that with JB’s success, his focus might be somewhat macroscopic, but we had a first-hand experience of the immense dedication that he pours into every activity – this cover shoot included.
The discussion started with the clothes that he wanted to wear. JB arrived at the set, took a look at the rack of Spring/Summer ‘19 assortment, and went straight to work. Naturally, JB exercised his preference, but being the cover star of the season’s most important issue (our 200th issue, no less), I wanted to showcase his versatility, and we continued to refine the creative process.

Heavy Lidded
In the masculine world of grooming, the sport (or art) of decorating one's lids with darkened kohl has been practised amongst niche circles, reserved for only a few brave men willing to go - or draw - the lengths of a sharp winged liner. Given the past decade's adoration of the bare-is-best routines, the notion of lined eyes has been mostly cast away. However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer. Should the world be opening its eyes and waking up for the return of \"guyliner\"?
