Actor Bae Yong-joon Appears on Chinese Magazine Cover

Top star Bae Yong-joon is featured on the February cover of the Chinese edition of the fashion magazine Cosmopolitan.

An official from Bae's agency BOF said on Jan. 24, "It is the first time, since it was founded in 1998, that the Chinese edition of Cosmopolitan has ever carried a male model on its cover".

The magazine is carrying Bae's cover photograph for its special Valentine's Day issue. It spotlights Bae in a six-page special story entitled "Man We Love" based on an interview with him.

Bae visited Beijing in November of last year to promote the film "April Snow". During the visit, he gave the interview and posed for the magazine's photographs.
