The magazine has kickstarted the digital section of "The Beauty Of K-Pop" that explores impact of South Korea's music, it's impact and beauty innovation. Lim Jaebeom or JB, the singer-songwriter-composer, has been in the industry for 11 years now. From trainee days to becoming part of one of most renowned K-pop groups in the world, he has been hustling hard towards his goals.

The cover shoot is absolutely stunning but opting for vibrant colours to his flaunting his long hair, two coloured contacts. And also, can we talk about all black look with leather jacket that has fringes? Greaser JAY B. May we say that?

Speaking to the magazine about how he deals with the times when he is not motivated to create music, he said, "I rest, write for myself, draw, or walk around town."

These days, the 26-year-old musician is sporting raven black shoulder length hair, facing piercings. Speaking of breaking the norm and changing the stigma around tattoos and piercings, he further added, “I wanted to show people that [piercings] aren’t a bad thing or good thing, but it’s a new cultural thing."

“I wanted to get out of that box of K-pop style. When you look at pictures of other guys, they usually have the same [stereotypical], two-block hairstyle (K-pop’s take on an undercut). Because it’s part of our jobs as idols to look impressive, I wanted something different — a new look with more texture. This is my own way of expressing that," he added.

Speaking of piercings, he further said, “But I wanted it, so I got it. It's my body and my life. So I just did it.”

JB is currently looking forward to the release of GOT7's upcoming album 'Dye' which is dropping on April 20.

There’s a standard expectation for K-pop stars to fit the image of an idol. @jaybnow.hr of #GOT7 turned this into an exercise in character design, spending 11 years creating the public persona his fans know now. He blurs the lines of traditional masculinity and femininity, known for pairing suits with smoky eyes and baseball caps with glossy raspberry lips. “When I was [first] growing my hair out, I thought I would look feminine. Then, I realized there’s no masculine or feminine way of doing things,” he says.
