Forget the young boy you've seen in MVs and dramas - because here comes the strapping young man Nam Joo Hyuk in his photo shoot with 'InStyle' for the July issue!

Pictures released on June 20 show the model striking various tough and charismatic poses while not being afraid to show some skin, either by not wearing anything under his vest, baring his chest in low-cut tops, or going sleeveless to reveal his impressive guns!

He said, "I diligently worked out for some time. I gained 5 kg (~ 11 lbs). If I had shown a boyish image in the past, this photo shoot gives off a different feel, which I like."  Yeah, it does!

He also talked about his character in SBS's upcoming drama, 'Scarlet Heart: Ryeo,' set for an August premiere. He said, "He's a free, easy, and leisurely character. He enjoys drawing and playing instruments."
