Set in a construction site by the sea, this editorial shoot features Korean boy band 2PM’s Taecyeon and Wooyoung for the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, which is sure to make female fans from all around the world swoon with excitement.

Posing with giant mean machines, rusty steel structures and massive slabs of solid concrete blocks, the duo rocks the rugged road warrior look in Ebisu denim, Hunter boots and heavy jackets.

There is one shot in particular from the editorial spread that depicts a masculine-looking Taecyeon pushing his motorbike on a stretch of dirt road, as he looks into the distant horizon.
