During his K-Drama days, Ji Soo often alternated between being the boy-next-door and an action-charged tough guy, with looks to match his roles.

Ji Soo played a no-nonsense cop in “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.”

Recently, however, Ji Soo transformed his look for Rank, a lifestyle magazine based in the Philippines. For the shoot, Ji Soo was given soft, androgynous makeup that has been sported by some K-Pop idols and high fashion models.

The doll-like look included faux freckles, pink blush, and lip gloss.

In some of the photos Ji Soo shared on Instagram, his makeup contrasts in an aesthetically pleasing way with his bold, sleeveless outfit.
