FRONT COVER: Final Shot Manipulation

Whilst researching and from my own knowledge, I know that most female Kpop groups & artists are represented much more girly with features such as makeup consisting of girly colours, longer hair and clothing such as skirts and dresses with thigh-high socks as well as MV styles and concepts. This inspired me to have my model wear a pink shirt as pink is usually
