Every magazine has it’s unique demographic and K-actor Gong Yoo is exactly how I picture an Esquire man.

It’s nice for a brand to have the perfect spokesperson and to put their money where their mouth is.

I don’t know who to thank for this photoshoot, whether for brand Epigram or because the model is Gong Yoo who can do no wrong.
