• "He looks like a horse"
  ^^^ I read this comment and I am still laughing😂

• His foundation shade is so off. Next time any Asian actors signing up for these films should bring aboard their own makeup artists, or if that's too much, their own foundation bottles.

  • I have to say most likely that is his natural color because K and C dramas tend to lighten their stars' skin tones several shades with either makeup, lighting, filters and photoshop.

    • I agree. East Asian stars all have a different skin shade when in home + abroad. That is not Hollywood's fault, that is the fault of K-ent or C-ent idolizing white skin. This is also the reason why Japanese actors always look more tanned: the Japanese have worked more into assuming their real colour tone and use less make-up, filters and the like.

    • He doesn't look tan, he looks orange. The foundation's undertone is wrong.

    • @Amaranth Yes, I was going to point this out too, he looks so orange! I mean, I get that Korean stylists tend to make K-stars look pale AF with too-light foundations, but the foundation shade here is wrong too. Anyone who has watched western makeup tutorials can attest that westerners have an obsession with using too-dark, warm-toned, orange foundation even when their natural skintones are light and cool-toned, similar to East Asians' obsession with using too-light and too cool-toned foundation/BB creams

• Well hollywood is never kind to asian actors, the styling at base always tries to un-handsome or un-sexy them to say at least

• That hair is straight from the cover of a cheesy 80s romance novel.

  • Add a white ruffles shirt open down to the navel and he is ready for Barbara Cartland's cover shoot.....bwahahahahaha

• Remember itowon? Lol, People complain but his style was iconic.

• Asian Siegfried & Roy. Bhahaha!!!!

  • Bahaha... spot on! That's all I see when I look at that picture note.

  • LOL…it’s the tight leather outfit and the 80’s feathered hair!

    Wished PSJ had enough clout to say no to galactic asian Siegfried and demand cool badass alien villain aka Thanos, Loki or even Darth Maul. But hey, that’s how the dice rolls and at least he didn’t end up unrecognizable and looking like Jabba the Hutt!!!

    As for Asians in western movies… Tony Leung looked ok in Shang-Chi and Donnie Yen looked fantastic in John Wick.

• It's definitely not the usual handsome PSJ in the eyes of Kdrama fans. But this is how most Asians look like in Hollywood films. He's not the worst yet. LOL I'm curious if he got paid well? Why taking a supporting role for a Hollywood film. I used to watch each marvel movie when I was younger on a mission as a guardian to take kids in the household to the theater. LOL. None has registered in my head and I can hardly recall any storylines. They are all forgettable! Why did PSJ have to take this role? Does he plan to move to Cali?

  • I doubt he's delusional enough to think he can make it in Hollywood.

    • You’re delusional to think, that’s the reason at all. Most of them just curious how it’s to work in different environment and challenge themselves in a short term from their comfort zone.

• His styling is not great, but what is most important is : He is having lots of fun! He probably never expected to be in a Marvel production in his life. Better to be noticed then blending in.

  • I totally agree. Even for a super star in Korea, working in Hollywood is another level. I would do it too, just for the experience.

• Why you guys even expect them to be styled in usual k-drama style or like a guy from Asian fantasy drama? This is not you dramas. This is Hollywood cosmo-opera. He is playing a character from an alien world. They could be green, yellow, blue, bald, hairy, big, small and etc. No one bats an eye, when Hollywood actors take goofy roles or in a strange make up. But god forbid korean actors to take a role and everyone becomes a movie make up critics and expects their usual flower boy in a suit. If it happens good. If it’s not, it’s good too. It’s an interesting experience for a guy. Why you all so negative? This is not “unfortunate”. He is playing a role of an alien. And you all should consider context. Not just live in your k-drama bubble.
  Seo Jun this past years is making really good choices when it comes to be different. His characters this past year all far from flower/handsome guys. I think he is on his experimenting stage. Good for him for being enthusiastic about his craft and wanting to try new things, where is not relaying in his face only.

  • I will always remember this which Whoopi Goldberg said:“When you’re a performer, you accept the gig. You take the gig. Sometimes, you’re in a Bozo suit, sometimes you got a big nose, and this is just the way it is,” she said. “We’re not journalists. We’re actors. We’re trying to get to another place." And Seo Jun is in another place now... Have fun Seo Jun. I will watch the film.

  • That makes sense. When an actor like him with enough money, fame, and accomplishment in his own comfort zone of K drama land, it's legit for a serious actor to venture out. You're absolutely right about Hollywood actors who don't really care about their images on screen looking charming or not when they want to deliver right storylines about their characters. I saw Asian drama actors are relatively more typecast perhaps thanks to idol culture. Who would have expected Michelle Yeoh to win an Oscar best actress award 20+ years later when she started her career in Hollywood back in 1997? I wish PSJ the best and have a lot of fun filming any projects.

  • I mean, no one is expecting him to look like a flower boy tho. PSJ isn't even considered a flower boy by KDrama fans, he's considered one of the manlier actors compared to the likes of Cha Eunwoo or something. But this styling ain't it. Yes, he shouldn't be made pretty, but they can make him menacing without giving him an unflattering hairstyle. Because yes, the hairstyle here is unflattering, the top part of his hair is flat AF, making him look odd and goofy and kinda hard to take seriously as a villain.

    Also, you're totally ignoring Hollywood's history of making Asian and other POC actors look bad. As the other commenter said, Hollywood isn't known to be kind to Asian actors and always try to make them look “un-sexy” to keep the nerdy, small-peepee stereotype alive. Come on now

    Yes, KDrama fans can be annoying and whiny, but this case isn't just them whining that their oppa wasn't prettified, come on now

• The "Asian Siegfried and Roy" comment had been chuckling. Thank you.
