In this issue

In our minds, the ideal summer is one that is fleeting. Imagine transient summer romances, frolicking by the beach with not a cloud in the sky, or even stargazing on a balmy night. If these sound more like fantasy than reality, then you are just like us, living in Singapore, the island of perpetual summers. In spite of the constant humidity, let us take you on a flight of fancy with this Hot Summer Issue.

Take a summertime sojourn with contributing writer Rachel Ong, as she puts together a hot list of summer vacation ideas (page 146) that are out of the ordinary. For the less intrepid, fashion stylist and writer Sapphire Chin has you covered with a list of fashion essentials for classic island getaways and beach holidays (page 32). Do I hear the clinking of gin and tonics in your near future?

Here at Men’s Folio, we advocate for a healthy body in any size, but it’s so hard to resist a summer-ready chiselled one. Ong has the answers to all your burning questions, from eating right (page 152) to tips on how to get that six pack (page 156), and no, she does not mean beer. Speaking of abs, features and watch editor Yong Wei Jian airs his views on the veiled narcissism rampant in today’s society, as seen in overexposed torsos and the over-indulgence of clean living (page 74). Are you just beach body ready, or have you become beach body personified?

This idea of a fleeting summer mirrors our experience working with the affable cover star, Seo Kang Jun (page 84). It took weeks of coordination and a flight to Korea at the very last minute to catch him on his one and only day off from capturing the hearts of his legion of fangirls (and boys). By the time this issue hits the stands, I can honestly say that these images are hot off the press!

Even though it felt like our summer flew by, the passion behind this mad rush is what makes this romance so much more intense for us. We hope your next hot summer would be as exceptional as ours.
