Image If I told you that this is Lee Donghae, would you believe me?
Not sure how many of you have seen this photo of him, but this photo is from the Taiwanese drama adaptation of Skip Beat. Tbh, I wouldn't have recognized him if it weren't for the captions on Google Images š It's amazing how much he can transform!
I don't know if it's just me, but he and Sungmin are the only members who look different with eyeliner and both of them are my biases lol I can still recognize the rest of the members with heavier makeup on. Even then, Sungmin only really crosses into "unrecognizable" territory when the eye makeup gets dramatic, like in his teaser photos for Mamacita. But Donghae looks unrecognizable even if he wears a little bit of eyeliner since it makes his eyes look deeper(?) Not sure how to explain it. The bad boy styling in this photo isn't helping either since it's the opposite of his image.
Even though Donghae himself said that he prefers to wear little to no [obvious] makeup, he actually has worn eyeliner a few times. I don't think he has worn eyeliner since before his enlistment because 1) Heavy eyeliner isn't as trendy anymore compared to the early 2010s; and 2) He probably didn't have much of a say in his appearance early in his career and had to go with whatever the stylists put him in at the time. I don't think he'll ever wear such heavy makeup again for these reasons, but he just looks so good!
Just wanted to post this photo to see if any of you have seen it before and appreciate how amazing he looks with eyeliner š
