Model Post Appreciation Post: Tae Eun Bang from Korea's Next Top Model Cycle 5

Tae Eun is easily one of my all time favourite male models in the entire Top Model franchise. When i saw him on Korea's Next Top Model Cycle 5 i thought he looked really interesting with his laid-back and chill demeanor. He was really passionate on what he does especially when it comes to his performances in photoshoots. He always maintains his composure. His sharp facial look embodies cool masculinity with a relaxed and effortless charm giving him an edge especially in classic and street style menswear. His elimination still infuriates me to this day because I know he is one of the strongest contestants there. His post-show work proves that he really has a lot to offer and his runway work is truly amazing. He has walked for many high fashion brands especially like Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana. I'm so proud of him for what he achieved in his life especially with his modelling career. I knew that he had big potential and I think that he really earns his place in the modelling industry currently.

Yup they are always miles ahead in terms of both print and runway work. I'm very happy that he became very successful after the show because he had a really big potential and has all the goods to become one of the best. He is currently signed with 4 modelling agencies actually. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿงก

Amazing print work by a male model i would say my personal favorites there are his W Magazine and L'Officiel Hommes editorials! He is sooo good! I also love that black & white side view beauty shot of him as well (photo #4 in top row) ๐Ÿ˜

u/Eddie1554 4h ago

Yes definitely one of the best. He is the kind of model that excelled both in the runway and print work. That black and white beauty photo actually has a front counter part. Here it is. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿงก

He is currently one of the best male catwalkers. He excelled a lot in his runway work and has already walked with many high fashion designers and brands. His last walk was in Hermes S/S 25 Men's Show Seoul. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿงก

Super Robbed for a much higher placement! His elimination photo wasn't even the weakest! 8th place isn't the right place for him! Also how ironic that he is much more successful than some of the models who went further than him! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyone know where I can watch this? I'm learning Korean so I've been watching a lot more Korean shows and would probably enjoy this.
