B.I's visuals have been described as god-tier by his fans. We couldn't agree more. His visual bucket is overflowing and we can't get enough of it.
Other buzz words that usually pop up when talking about his visuals include: sophisticated, classy, and elegant. We love his ability to make classy fashion hip, too.

These are only a few of the reasons that he could totally be a full-time model.
If you knew nothing about K-Pop, B.I would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree?
