Kino is famous as a member of the rhythmic genius boy group PENTAGON. Kino is known for his limitless talent. Whether it is choreography, dancing, stage presence, vocals, etc. there is nothing that he doesn't excel in.

Today, let's take a look at his model potential.

First of all, we have to start by acknowledging the fact that Kino is simply gorgeous.

To quote a UNIVERSE (PENTAGON's fandom),

"He is the embodiment of art."

His visuals are often described by fans as being god-tier. This is partly because of his bold features and Adonis-like essence.

Kino is one of the idols who can be considered a flower boy. It is due to his elegant aura and how graceful he looks, especially in sophisticated fashion.

He is one of the idols who looks the most effortlessly trendy in androgynous fashion and accessories.

Kino didn't make his solo debut recently with the special 'POSE' for no reason.

He is the king of the pose himself. Not only does his being embody everything that the song encompasses i.e. a sense of sleek, sexy, and grooviness; but his model persona knows how to work every camera angle to his will.

More brands would be blessed to work with Kino as he not only looks exquisite in any styling or outfit, but also has a superior understanding of fashion.

Kino is a fashion icon with the best fashion sense. The way he mixes clothing styles, textures/fabrics, and patterns with minimalism makes him the ultimate fashion inspiration.
