Shin Mina trades in cute for Calvin Klein

Shimmina_080827_2

Trading in her cute image for a more grown-up one, Shin Mina poses for Calvin Klein in the advertorial for the September 2008 issue of Harpers Bazaar Magazine (Korea). The actress is showing her versatility as a model but will that translate to acting as well?

Shin Mina will be starring in the upcoming film, “Go Go 70,” a fictional tale chronicling the 1970’s in Korea. “Go Go 70” will go go into theaters in October.

    @ Hero-JaeJonng

    But what comes with skinny thighs comes with no butt.

    (jk…:p)

    PHOTOSHOP! the first pic is soooo photoshop

  5. 5 hay hay August 28, 2008 at 6:51 am

    Her body is more anorexic than a 16* year old Chinese gymnast…

    Some of you people act so surprised and are more than willing to point out that her pictures are photoshopped. Actually, about 95% of pictures are AIRBRUSHED! It’s a given…no need to point it out each time!

    Anyway, her pictures are cute!!! She’s even more prettier when she smiles!! Her dimples are sooo adorable!!!!

    Shin Min ah is so pretty! But I like it better if she smiles because her smile is adorable!

    Pretty………but so skinny…….

    She looks so pretty, but come on people, every single add and editorial that appears in a magazine is photoshopped. And for females the biggest thing is to make them look thinner, skin more radiant, and elongate their legs and body.

    With this shoot tho she really worked her angles to hide her pretty broad shoulders.

    lol even with the ps, she still has no behind.

  11. 11 cjc August 28, 2008 at 8:10 am

    she is still w/ TOP??? or did they break up already????

    even though it was rumored that she was dating him, i think they did date for a while…

  12. 12 BLAH August 28, 2008 at 8:15 am

    ^who cares if they dated. let top have his personal life…

    anyway, that picture is ridiculous photoshopped. could they not be so obvious?? it’s like photoshop exaggeration.

  13. 13 Sandyy August 28, 2008 at 9:22 am

    Even though it’s a given that most pics are airbrushed it’s still a bit of a shock when it’s to THIS extent! I mean it’s too obvious but she does look gorgeous

  14. 14 Kido August 28, 2008 at 9:30 am

    she has no butt…

  15. 15 Pogi August 28, 2008 at 9:50 am

    ^And is possibly more beautiful and successful than you and the rest, so what’s your point? xD

  16. 16 Passions August 28, 2008 at 9:55 am

    NO CURVES!!!!!!!!

  17. 17 Ria August 28, 2008 at 9:56 am

  18. 18 confused August 28, 2008 at 10:22 am

    those are REALLY long legs.

  19. 19 jenfraud August 28, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    100% photoshop!!

  20. 20 HomeSchooler August 28, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    I think she is a good actress.

  21. 21 0121004 August 28, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    it’s expected that all professional pics are somewhat altered to look its best….with that said it still captures a more sophisticated woman, which i think suits her well…

  22. 22 Meru August 28, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    Hello, bad photoshop job there. It’s ok to alter, they’re all altered, this one isn’t done very well though.

  23. 23 lalala August 28, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    the photoshop comments is getting old.
    can’t people be more original instead of just mimicking inorder to fit in?

  24. 24 Chris August 28, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    She is fantastic.

  25. 25 boolie2woolie August 28, 2008 at 3:25 pm

    wah.. she looks really good on the 1st pic.. but, come on, who doesn’t know that it’s photoshopped?

  26. 26 empress August 28, 2008 at 5:33 pm

    I think it looks very nice.

  27. 27 bre` August 28, 2008 at 7:40 pm

  28. 28 ♥이시아~ August 28, 2008 at 9:19 pm

  30. 30 lev August 29, 2008 at 8:39 am

    When I read ‘Go Go 70′, my mind went completely “GO GO GADGETS!” XD

  31. 31 lev August 29, 2008 at 8:40 am

    Oh and her thighs look hecka long. Which means it’s attached to long legs and that equal tall ass woman.

    Damn.

  32. 32 lollipop August 29, 2008 at 10:55 am

    geez..let ppl say what they want..~~annoying much?
    okay, first..yeah..it looks freaking photoshopped..i mean, we all know how she really looks like since she’s an actress herself..the magazine is overdoing it for the first pic..the leg part is waaaay weird..but her face is still pretty..the other pics are nice^^

  33. 33 eunbit August 29, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    Hello to everyone who says she has no ass……

    Shin Mina is known for her huge derriere.

    Like what observant netizens above ^ have noted, that is the work of some MAJOR photoshop.

    PopSeoul, could you run a few threads on the fashion trends shown in fashion magazines in Korea? No need for Korean celebrity photos, just lists of top five trends found in the main fashion magazines. Include the men’s magazines too. We all need to think about fall and our looks, for a change in focus. Thank you!

  35. 35 wayver August 30, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    i don’t understand why Popseoul’s always saying SMA is looking more mature than her cute image all the time. she IS a fu*king grownup. she’s not sohee chipmunk cheeks trying to be supersohotsexy.

  36. 36 kis September 1, 2008 at 11:39 am

    her legs don’t seem real
