Yoo Ah-in goes geek chic
by | October 25, 2011 | 74 Comments

I know — more Yoo Ah-in? But when is that ever a bad thing? Here he is, sporting some dandified looks for menswear line ZIOZIA, making him look surprisingly mature. I would’ve guessed Yoo Ah-in in a suit would be like a little kid playing dress-up, but sometimes, the suit makes the man. I have to say though, the geeky glasses are pretty much the entire reason for this post. He’s channeling some Gong Yoo in a major way, and it’s making me crazy.

What is it about the hot guy trapped inside a pair of geeky glasses? I know it’s not just me. Is this our equivalent of the sexy librarian thing? Is that just a universal trope across genders? Where have all the sexy male librarians gone?

    what a Babe… oppa~ lol *this is me poutin’ and wigglin’ furiously* tehe
    he cleans up quite nicely… leg warmers need to go though :/

    • 2.1 Raine

      Jossy – do they really? I’m thinking that even when he’s channeling 80s exercise clothing that he’s still sexy as sin to this noona. Heehee.

    • 2.2 come2noona

      I kinda dig them.

    • 2.3 iZzie :)

      LOL. not minding whatever’s on his feet, I’m mostly looking at his face. OMG, those eyes. those lips!

      - one Guilty Noona.

  5. riin

    for some reason I see Sherlock Holmes??

    • 5.1 indigowine

      for some reason I see Song Joong Ki? O_o especially at that lips at the first pic..

      • 5.1.1 marisa

        Yoo Ah-in’s lips always remind me of Song Joong Ki.

        I believe the medical term for my affliction is the “Sungkyunkwan Syndrome”.

      • 5.1.2 js

        yea!! not as much in the rest but in the first pic for some reason he really looks like him…hm.

      • 5.1.3 riin

        yup a little bit Song Joong Ki..

        Although I first thought of a fusion of GD and Kim Hyun Joong.. :D (he does a GD stock expression in the first pic)

        • 5.1.3.1 Francesca

          I hear this a lot~ GD and YAI have similar feature^^ In my dream they are long lost bros :D

  6. Kay

    Love him in the pale grey trousers and the orange sweater, my favourite colours!

    “Where have all the sexy male librarians gone?”

    HA HA I second that! It’s like the whole Professor Jones/Indiana Jones and Clark Kent/ Superman thing…they look hot both ways, but knowing what’s behind the glasses drives you nuts :D

    • 7.1 iZzie :)

      “Where have all the sexy male librarians gone?”

      We, the librarians know. We do not speak about their location. Ahahaha!

      No, they’re not in the Reserved Section.

  8. ck1Oz

    Gosh I am not even a YAI fan but he’s sexy in a repressed way :-)

    • 8.1 Raine

      And that’s when you know you have a good one. He’s even caught you ck1Oz. Mwahahaha!

  9. MsScorpion

    Oooh smexy! Love the orange vest pic~ and the blue jacket!

  13. 13 mud

    He looks so much like Gong Yoo in that first pic. Keep delivering the goods becaues there’s no such thing as too much Yoo Ah-in.

    • 13.1 Francesca

      *pushes Like button* ^_^

  14. 14 Autumn

  17. 17 ida

    KYAKKKK!!

  18. 18 saya

    (officially went to heaven……..)

    XD

    is it wrong that I like younger boy? kekeke…
    i’ve been his fan since I watched Antique. he’s got something more than look to offer.

  19. 19 Ashi

    It’s the sexy professor look :)

  20. 20 eunha

    I was feeling sluggish because I just woke up.

    After looking at these pictures, I feel. . .recharged. XD

  21. 21 misso

    geez… I’m younger than him but I feel older when I look at his magazine spreads~~~ heheh. So young looking, more so as a geek/ dandy boy. I kind of prefer him with facial hair.. skk scandal anyone?? I usually detest it.. but with him I prefer rugged over clean looking? -____-;;

    • 21.1 Shel

      I like him with sageuk hair best, too. Which is kind of weird, since I’m not generally a fan of long hair on guys. But, he rocks it.

      He cleans up nicely though. And I’m with GF on the glasses thing….thinking of Daniel Choi, or that doctor on Greatest Love.

      I have kids older than he is, lol, but he’s definitely a little hottie.

    “Where have all the sexy male librarians gone?”

    They’ve been stolen by psycho fangirls.

    The more I see of YAI the more I get all fangirly over him. He is SO adorable and HOT and SEXY and full of personality. He’s such a great model, coming out differently in every photo. And just…coming out in photos in general is a beautiful thing.

  23. 23 Devon

    Where have all the sexy male librarians gone?

    The calendar made me laugh…

  24. 24 Shiku

    He looks more mature than he usually does but why does his pants seem to be missing a few inches?

    • 24.1 Shel

      I’m not sure what it is with highwaters…..and white socks. And remember Lee Min Hot with NO socks and highwaters? Maybe someone can explain it to us. :0)

  25. 25 moonymeia

    I think I`m pregnant…………

    • 25.1 Kitteh

      I laughed out loud when I saw this!!

      • 25.1.1 moonymeia

        I`m glad I made you laugh. It makes me happy, so, naturally, it`s good for my and Yoo Ah In`s baby :) .

        ( Delusional, I know. Blame the guy above. )

        • 25.1.1.1 Cant' Wait

          ROLFMAO!!!

          • 25.1.1.1.1 moonymeia

            :)

  26. 26 Banu

    I could never dislike him. ^__^

  27. 27 Molly

    YOO AH IN! YOU ARE IN (my heart). Lame I know. But my love for him makes me lame. Anyway. He gets prettier with every photo shoot! I can’t wait for his movie being available on subbed DVD in the UK (may be a while) or online.
    I love all the outfits. Even the leg warmers work! Well… Its cause he’s perfect. I must admit though I miss the facial hair a wee bit. Sigh.

  28. 28 malia

    I totally mistook him for gong yoo at first glance

  29. 29 iZzie :)

    I sang it last year, I’m singing it again…

    All I want for Christmas is a Yoo Ah-in
    A Yoo Ah-in
    A Yoo Ah-in
    Please, a Yoo Ah-in

    Gee, if only I could have my Yoo Ah-in
    Then it will be a such a Merry Christmas

    :)

    • 29.1 Stalker

      Too bad, he’s already booked by Japan fans in Osaka on Christmas :( How lucky they are!

  30. 30 iZzie :)

    Totally love the first pic. It’s like 2-in-1: Yoo Ah-in and Gong Yoo (the Yoo’s of my heart. ;) )

    And I love the librarian connection, coz I’m an archivist (another term for a librarian). Ha! I’m visualizing this four-eyed hottie browsing books in between the shelves. ;)

  31. 31 joonni

    He looks a little bit like Yoo Seung Ho in the third pic.

    Yoo Ah In looks so awesome in suits. Who would have thought?

  32. 32 nozomi05

    so pretty!!!

  33. 33 Alvina

    Man knows how to pose. And, he certainly does not look 26…

  34. 34 Precious

    Gah! The second and the last picture are doing things to me, this is almost better than his mane of glory…. almost.

  35. 35 iZzie :)

    I hope Wandeungi will still be in theaters when I visit Korea this November. Glad to learn that it is showing with English subtitles, and also, the one playing his mother in the movie is Jasmine Lee – a Pinay – which makes him half-Pinoy in the movie. :)

  36. 36 am

    His fotoshoots are forever flaw free. I love that he’s always goofy and there’s so much personality in every shot.

  37. 37 Laurustinus

    I could not agree more it’s amazing how attractive a guy can be when in geek chic mode, and the male sexy librarians have to be out there somewhere right because it is soooooo attractive!!!

  38. 38 Cam

    Oooo!!! O_O That’s NEAAAT…..I love these pictures when Yoo Ah In wear something so politely and make him look soooo handsome!!! (nods with two thumbs-up) Oh YEAH!

  39. 39 Noelle

    Oh dang! He looks… if I say mouthwatering would that be weird?

  40. 40 blabblahblah

    I actually love men with glasses hehe :D
    And yes, Yoo Ah-in looks great in these pics! :D

  41. 41 kirara

    aaaaaaaaaaaah.. too cute.. love it! :)

  42. 42 FlyingAngela

    Is it just me, or is YAI channeling Song Joong Ki in the first pic?

  43. 43 Birdie

    I do not know…. To me , no matter how he is dressed , he still looks like a high school kid. I do like his acting though.

  44. 44 kit

    oh man +_+

  45. 45 Severine

    God I love him. Thank you so much, girlfriday, for sharing the pretty.

  46. 46 Roxy

  47. 47 noodles143

  48. 48 lovedramas

    some of the looks remind me of the clothing that SSH sported for one of his spreads. :) YAI is sooo cute here. I like the suits on him.

  49. 49 Cant' Wait

    A feast for my eyes :D Moaaarrrr pls!
    YAI photos & interviews are on the newspapers like every single day now thanks to Wandeugi movie. I desperately wanna watch it >.<
