What a waste of gorgeous Kang Sora and a beautiful back setting. I’m sorely tempted to send North Face back out to redo the summer ’17 ad campaign featuring actress Kang Sora trying her best to sell active beachwear when the photography is so utterly still and devoid of spontaneity.

I did a post awhile back on the school age before and after pictures of Korea’s male stars.
