Leave it to Korea, the land that understands the magic mixture of K-drama appeal with the soulful male leads to rope in the female viewers, to deliver yet another great charity photo spread. The Letters From Angels photography campaign started in 2003 and now enters its 14th year still deliver a heartwarming message. Photographer Jo Se Hyun has partnered with Cosmpolitan Korea to showcase pictures of Korean celebrities posing with newborn orphaned babies who are all up for adoption.
The concept is different every year, and I remember the 2012 theme followed famous Korean couples posing with orphaned babies like their own child. This year is the black-and-white bachelor theme with stars like Park Seo Joon, Lee Seo Jin, Lee Soo Hyun, Yeo Jin Gu, Kim Young Kwang, and many others happily dandling their own orphaned bundle of joy even if in real life none are daddy-ready just yet. Too bad single ladies can’t adopt one of these precious babies and get one of the smexy guys as a plus one, LOL.
Lee Seo Jin
Kwang Soo
Yeo Jin Gu
Kim Young Kwang
Yoo Yeon Seok
Lee Soo Hyuk
Lee Dong Wook
Adorable!
So how does one go about adopting Park Seo Joon? (I’ll take the baby too, I guess.)
Yeo Gin Goo’s photo looks the most natural there.. Like he’s holding his own dongsaeng
I think Yeo Jin Goo’s baby is the happiest, and I think that is why they looks so freakin awesome!!!
Kim young Kwang and Lee Soo Hyuk was going for serious and sexy look that just feels a little disconnected.
But I gotta say my next fave pic is from Yoo Yeon Seok. He is looking awesome-fine!!! I wish he signs up for a drama where he is lead!!
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really like how Kim Young Kwang is holding the baby like a prop and hamming it up for the camera. Otherwise, the photos are adorbs.
Also, I’m going to Korea to steal the bubba in the first photo with Lee Seo Jin. He looks like a baby Baek Il Sub!
Aww they are all adorable and it is a good concept but i’m like, Yeo Jin gu?? Boy barely legal himself XDD! (and yeah him and his baby are the most adorable here imo)
Yeo Jin Gu is way younger than me and he’s posing like a dad already.
Oh, truly GREAT!
those model papas.. haha.. Kim Young Kwang and Lee Soo Hyuk, after all, they’re still model..
best pic goes to Yeo Jin Gu’s! he and that cutey baby, both are so adorable.. happy papa and son.. or.. hyung and dongsaeng 😛
Kwang Soo’s baby is so cute. dem ears.
I think Kwang Soo’s is Buddha-baby 🙂
Am I the only one tearing up looking at those baby’s? My god if only..
you’re not the only one, i hope thos cute baby soon to be adopt by a warm loving family
can I adopt both yoo yeon suk and the baby?
Yeo Gin Gu and his baby looks so adorable, they’re both smiling and Yoo Yoo Seuk looks good too…
Those babies i hope and pray they be adopted by great families and grow up happy and well!
Lesson learned: Don’t let a vampire hold a baby.
I love the concept. It’s always great photos !
The photoshoot was accompanied by letters written by said celebs about this experience of holding this orphaned baby. Their words were moving, full of wisdom, hopeful and a bit naive about adoption.
I love how Yoo YeonSeok and Lee SooHyuk’s babies grip so tightly to the actors’ fingers. And I love how Yeo JinGu’s just grips JinGu’s sleeve and smiles so widely, haha. So cute.
These guys are doing this for a good cause, but I find it a little strange for them to be holding a baby like a prop.
Does S. Korea have a tough time placing these cuties for adoption? I think there would be a line for them in the US. I would adopt all of them if I could. They are all adorable.
I don’t think people in South Korea are into adoption .There seems to be like a stigma associated with raising a kid that is not your own. I really do hope these campaigns raise awareness about adoption and the little babies find loving homes.
Yoon-sook-ie and a baby. *melts*
squeeeee – – – lee soo hyuk!
All I can think about is the poor single woman who put her infant up for adoption because she could not withstand the societal scorn to which the lead character in Greatest Marriage is subject. More children from Korea are adopted internationally than any other country.
Huge Aaawwww!! Those babies are gorgeous – especially the cutie with Yeo Jin Gu. I just want to cuddle him (the baby, that is, not the grown up).
