The Guy who benefitted the most out of Blackpink

Is Kim Hee June!

As YG’s and Blackpink’s official photographer, he really hit it big along side BlackPink.

Everyone knows BlackPink takes on more magazine covers and advertisement campaigns than they do music and KHJ is present in almost all of them!

He may be a renown Photographer in Korea, but thanks to BlackPink, his name and work are now seen all over Asia and may make his way to the west as BlackPink becomes more known around the world.

Blinks know his name and some are actually getting frustrated that the girls are being limited in his artistic direction.

I can only remember three distinctive times the girls worked with other photographers and that was Hedi Slimane with Lisa, Hugo Comte with Jennie, and Petra Collins for Vogue Korea.

It seems that YG and team are set on having BlackPink and KHJ attached to the hip and work on everything together as he even get to direct BP’s The Show concert. Like everything YG, his artist most often than not works exclusively with their in house producers and in house photographer.

Saying this, should YG let other photographers work more with BlackPink? Is BlackPink modeling potential being hindered by KHJ’s vision?

I hate some of his works with Lisa and atp he is frustrating. I wish they could work with more diverse photographers.

yup. I’m nervous about the Wonderland cover Lisa is gonna do. I just can’t imagine KHJ doing something like this

Yes, I remember his "Korean girl power" BS.

didn’t know he said that.

Quote from Cold_Wave

BP getting magazine covers has nothing to do with KHJ having connections

you’re maybe right. Looks like he benefits the most from working with BlackPink

I know it wasn't the intention of the article but this hurt.

we gotta face reality

Quote from gasolina

does he get more money working with blackpink than teddy working with blackpink?

nah, music earns more but Teddy at least has proven something with his craft since he produced major hits for various artists but KHJ craft is the same monotonous and unimaginative set up for his photo shoots. It’s not just BP

Quote from rosietwerk

He's a shitty creative director. Most of the time his 'best' works are saved by the styling for the shoot and the girls' beauty

The Petra Collins shot is STUNNING

it is! If you look at her work with Vogue K and his work with Vogue K, Petra gave more depth and story behind it. KHJ’s cover felt like it shouldn’t even be a Vogue cover.

Quote from Chaittra

he is working on the show??? Say bye to Lisa's screentime...

I mean their online concert. He was the one who directed it. I’m still a little salty that we didn’t really see Lisa in the D4 dance break of The Show.
