I just have one main problem with this W magazine photo spread featuring Yoon Eun-hye and TOP: I think there’s a little bit of discrimination going on here. Where be his nekkidness? You’ve got her sans shirt and crawling all over him, and there he is, all buttoned up and decent. This is a problem.
I think we’re going to have to invoke that equal opportunity half-nudity clause of fashion shoots to correct this imbalance. What, there’s no such thing, you say? Well, clearly this is an issue the industry needs to address. For equal rights, and stuff.
Okay, so maybe I can see the appeal of having a TOP-bot lying around (snerk) to do your bidding, even if he’s only your Absolute Boyfriend on the technicality that you bought him. I still don’t really see him as the perfect gentleman robot, though, more the scary-sexy manborg you’d need to program with a child-lock key and a safeword. (And yes, I’d watch that drama.)

TOP, shirt on, no fair
it’s because he doesn’t have a good body and he’s self insecure about his hairy chest. I would know because, well it’s a secret.
whoa. hairy chest? HOT!
He has a hairy chest? Love that…plus a nice treasure trail. Seems like everyone removes them, sigh.
Hairy Chest = something for dazed fans to cling on = pain
yup. better to keep the shirt on, TOP.
or… TOP, meet wax. Wax, meet TOP. Hairy chest issue, solved.
I’d say he might have had some issues since after weight loss, the skin doesn’t usually go back prettily. I’ve always assumed that he probably had some excess skin there or something that would not be a nice looking to most people. (Personally, don’t care.)
dont worry if he had those problem for photography his photographer can hide them with photoshop so stop this it is so borring
i guess u dont have anything for think in ur life
yeah???
ur problem is T.O.Ps shirt and body hah???
did u see his body??:)
I was soo hoping to see TOP shirtless but no…. not happy
it’s ok..i would get jealous if he’s Topless
first? YEH looks gorgeous
TOP, get over your fear & rip those shirts off already!
TOP never takes of his shirt
*off
#weprayfortoplessTOP chant was unanswered =(
aw so sad! ahhaha
because TOP minus top = zero?
Lols.
+10000000000000
NEVER?
wohooo YEH… they are TOP.
*I still have a bit jealousy though* *who doesn’t?*
Heehee but it’s totally YEH on TOP. LOL
yeh has driving license while TOP couldn’t even drive…!!!
hehehehehe…
love the pun.
Shirtless TOP? VIPs have had that dream for a long time lol. That man always covers up from head to toe. I remember a performance in hot summer, while other BB members wore T-shirts and sweat like crazy, he still had a jean jacket on -_-
May be he has some troubles in shirtless mode. he should have taken off his vest with the shirt on. Some flesh to appeal.
His insecurity probably stems from his belly skin sagging so much from losing too much weight. There was once a performance on a music show where the choreography had them slightly move their shirt up. From then on comments about his jiggly skin just poured in like crazy. Probably scarred him or something.
But I keep thinking it’s been years…WHAT IS TOP HIDING?!
Her S line is so clear now I understand what it is.
That’s exactly what I thought as soon as I’ve seen the photo!! Oooh, look, that’s and S – line!!!
What’s an S line?
when the body curves like an “S.”
good S: boobs + butt
bad S: bad posture + beer belly
… or so I think.
this is for Calvin Klein?
I find Shin Minah-Jamie Dornan photoshoot hotter
but well, maybe coz Jamie was shirtless =]
darn that was a darn good legit hot photoshoot with CHEMISTRY.
i WANT YEH with TOP in ANY drama…. ASAP!
wait… they didn’t go all the way to NYC just to give us these 3 photos, did they?
No there will be more…these are just sneak preview of the shoot.
some more photos of the shoot http://www.bigbangupdates.com/2011/10/top-for-w-korea-magazine-photos.html
“Where be his nekkidness?”
Good question.
The nekkidness? It’s under the top. which is out of view. sad.
I am all for EQUALITY!
holy.
TOP never takes his shirt off because he still self-conscious about his body (he used to be fat)
doesn’t matter if he used to be fat. He looks good, should show it. Wonder if he doesn’t know it?
How does a pop star not know how hot he is? I mean, the crazy fan girls should say something. . .
well he use to be insecure about his body. and that can continue on in years EVEN IF he lost weight.
maybe there’s some stretch marks and slightly loose skin still left from his weight loss.
or remnants of insecurity while there’s none of any physical problems left.
thing is, unless he takes off his shirt, we’ll never know.
YEH on TOP.
Buahahahaah. Couldn’t resist.
TOP TOP TOP! may you forever keep your clothes on.
Unfortunately, TOP doesn’t like showing skin. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a photo of him in a t-shirt -.-
“T.O.P.-bot”. Heh – more like a Vulcan-bot – all dude needs is pointy ears and we’re all set to rock.
Seriously, never thought about it, but I can see these two getting together for a drama involving all kinds of hotness, “safe word” or no.
YEH is a beautiful girl, but apparently hasn’t felt the need for clothing these last two months. Just how hot is it in Korea right now?
Well, see that right there is one reason why TOP won’t take the role if it’s offered to him. Because if memory serves, Tenjo Night the bot kinda arrives sans clothing. In fact, he’s kinda fond of getting nekkid, as I recall.
I was thinking that she’d been sans clothes for the past few shoots I’ve seen her in. It must be super hot over there…
As for TOP, I don’t get it. He totally doesn’t do it for me. He does have a strong aura about him. However, even though i don’t get him, I’m all for equality of nudity. Here’s to shirts off!
I am willing to help TOP overcome his aversion to ‘nekkidness’. This is coming from a purely (purely) selfless place of course.
C’mon TOP! We will still love you with your shirt off or some upper arm showing. Heck, we may even love you more. Rephrase – we may even lust you more. Hot pictures. YEH can bring the sexy and TOP can bring the smolder.
top hot hot top hot hot hot top ………hold on a sec, i need to reboot my brain.
Why not these two in Absolute Boyfriend. They look great together probably even more so on screen. If not that drama then they should do something.
God I’m completely envious of her body. Can’t believe she was able to hide those curves in CP.
wooott.woottt….wowww…this is what i’m waiting for!!!!and im agree with you NOELLE ,why not these two in Absolute Boyfriend…anyway.im looking forward for YEH’s another drama:D………….thanks JAVABEANS
yeah i know! i was just thinking that!! YEH is much more closer to the image of the original character in Absolute B ..although i still can’t picture TOP as it….
no topless TOP?
i see irony… TOP is not on TOP!
LoL… yeah i guess you are right…
YEH is exposing herself quite a bit these days. Is it necessary? She can look sexy anytime without doing so.
Agree. I thought I was the only one thinking so. She is looking a bit desperate for exposure lately.
Actually its not just lately that she’s been doing risque photoshoots. She’s been doing it for years so desperate she’s not. And if she was that desperate for exposure, she wouldn’t have rejected the movie offered to her to star next to Chow Yun Fat, Tamaki Hiroshi and Alec Su.
This photoshoot with T.O.P is mild compared to what she has done for W Magazine in May 2009 and also for her ad in Puma years ago. Yoon Eun Hye has always said that she sets no limitations when it comes to her editorial photoshoots.

TOP was probably uncomfortable just with showing his collar bone. Come on buddy, you can at least wear a tank top or something. Or shorts! shorts would be fine…please?
wahhh no fair! someone got to test drive my TOP robot before me! *continues to dream about absolute boyfriend premise*
Beautiful YEH..I adore this girl
lol TOP NEVER shows any skin, there are maybe 4 occasions in the last 5 years when he can be seen in a t-shirt, other than that it’s long sleeves baby!
if not TOPless, what about a ripped up tank? that’s almost equality. i have a great imagination!
Hey director i don’t like my fav. actress to be top naked u making me mad:-( eun is very popular actress why do want her to take off her blouse? ohhhhh i hate all this gossiper grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr stop it plsssssssssss!!
this guy are not that good looking so plsssss don’t comment about it ok
Um…
That guy is very very very very very very (getting the picture yet?) good looking!
They look great. Also, YEH looks wonderful clothed and partially unclothed. What does her popularity have to do with her shirt?
love the last picture. it’s such a classic pose.
He’s still smokin’ haawwwt even with his shirt on, I love his eyes ^_~
I heart TOP. He can do whatever he wants anytime of the day. Fine by me and apparently everybody else. Silver hair? Candy colored lightning earrings? Check! Where’s waldo fashion ensemble? Hells yeah check! haha. Remember his Where’s Waldo outfit from earlier this summer? I do. Meanwhile GD was sporting Ring Master chic.

WORD!!
After showing so much skin these past couple of months, I hope YEH goes back to eating normally (we all know how she enjoys food) – she’s been a bit too skinny for a while now.
It’s always better for the woman to be on “TOP”…..lollollol
Yup, true… I love to be on “TOP” too…
Wow, who woulda known they’d make one hot couple together.. might as well start dating after this photoshoot!!
hahaha. But TOP looks good regardless if his shirt is off or on..
But yeah, lil discrimination now, maybe we’ll get him shirtless later and her with a shirt.. possibly? If we call complain enough maybe it will get someone’s attention.. Maybe..
yep, TOP never likes taking off his shirt. It’s okay ^^
Maybe he just doesn’t like working out? It would kinda make sense….
Actually, TOP is addicted to working out. He works out all the time. Just very self conscience. I don’t think he sees exactly how he looks from others’ eyes.
Well now, that’s interesting…. how can it be that he’s never had a photo taken of him working out? He can’t be paranoid enough about his body/skin showing unless he works out fully covered? Especially in this day of sneaky cell phone pics, etc., how could he avoid a pic? And now that I’m thinking about it, has he ever appeared on any of the idol-related sports events?
I’ve seen photos of him working out, fully covered in a hoodie and sweats of course.
He works out fully covered AND at YG’s personal gyms. So……LOL Yeah his body is like the best kept secret in Korea.
YG artists rarely do any kind of the variety stuff. Only BigBang member I can remember doing the idol sports stuff was Seungri.
if he really is cast in absolute boyfriend, i hope they take that twist you suggested. it only makes sense if top is playing robot, right? let’s hope, let’s hope.
Y’all know, if TOP plays Zettai Kareshi he must be filmed all nekkid when his owner opens the package she ordered. He’ll be like, “oh Barbie, I’m dress-me-up-Ken doll.” Zettai Kareshi is anatomically correct to fulfill every heart’s desire of his owner’s demands. I hope a cable show takes the drama so the script can get more playful, otherwise, put it in a movie version please.
YEH & TOP = DAYUM HOT!
Last night I dreamt I was with TOP in the exact same pose, only difference was he didn’t have a stitch on. I just wanted to share this with you all.
The man is still sexy as hell even if he’ll never show some skin. I think its his appeal. Other dudes try so hard to have the six packs and what not, but TOP just looks at you with those smoldering eyes of his and the rest is forgotten. ^_^
I just want him to speak… I feel my ovaries pinch when he speaks or raps. LOL!
Top Top Top…why so hot?
i can’t help but wonder where is brookeeve! or is TOP back on the market now?
I’ll e-mail her. Brookeeve is going to DIE when she sees these. And I can promise you, TOP is NOT back on the market. Brookeeve is steadfast in her love, yo.
:SIGH: a girl can dream.
I wish I can see more picts of them.. LOL..
Tabi doesn’t remove clothes. Even in practice sessions and during their first documentary. There was a time long ago when Big Bang was lifting their shirts to show their abs during performances but all I remember is Dae’s glorious 8 pack…he even had Taeyang beat. Tabi just stares at the camera…topless is Young Bae’s job *I’ll be there MV example*
wow her s-line is crazy defined
yeah she’s known for having a great s-line it is also visible in this CF http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOZOZTg7ZeQ
TOP’s job in Big Bang is to rap in his sexy voice, and give the smolder.
Maybe once he comes back from the military (which is God knows when) he’ll be more comfortable taking his clothes off
feminist me coming out. maybe I’m overanaylzing, but why should YEH the woman be 1/2 naked to be sexy and and not TOP? and her position in the first pic ..it’s just pushing in the idea of women as objects imho.
I don’t think your overanalyzing at all. I’m seeing objectification too. You can’t even see her entire face, but they’re making sure you can see the photshop-shadows on her bra. Pretty annoyed about it.
gahhhh… i’ll take my tabi any way i can. shirtless or in a snowsuit.
and ya, tabi fans know that he is always always always clothed. still too self-conscious even years after his weight loss. and plus dae, taeyang and seung ri show enough abs for all of BB <3
here's to hoping that this will change post-military
I kinda feel sorry for YEH. It isn’t very good for her image, no? Why must she be half-naked and portrayed as seducing TOP?
dont feel sorry for her its just a photoshoot for a fahipn spread not a real f uckfest so it wont even put a dent on her image.
What century are you from? Did you travel here from the 1800′s by time machine? When you go back please tell my great grandparents I love them. Thanks.
a perfect couple for me
