Yoo Ah-in goes geek chic
by girlfriday
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?

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.

Yoo Ah-in's lips always remind me of Song Joong Ki.
I believe the medical term for my affliction is the "Sungkyunkwan Syndrome".

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? -____-;;

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.

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.

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. ;)

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. :)

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!!!
