In a recent GQ Korea fashion spread, actor Lee Dong-wook oozes autumn charm.

In the pictures -- revealed Friday by Lee’s agency, King Kong by Starship -- the actor poses in a garden in checked ankle-length turquoise and black pants with a blue knit sweater and black leather shoes.

Against a backdrop of trees full of autumn leaves, Lee sits on a chair the wrong way, his feet over the back and his back against the seat while he balances precariously with an outstretched hand.

But his serious expression -- staring straight at the camera -- doesn’t match his offbeat posture.

In the accompanying interview, Lee refers to his manners as “social.”

“It’s only my job that’s slightly different from ordinary people,” Lee is quoted as saying. “Other than that, I’m just like everyone else.

“A reasonable pattern of life is essential in this job. Being an actor, it’s easy to be self-centered, but I live my life not only as an actor but as a person, Lee Dong-wook,” Lee said.
