“Playboy,” an American men’s style and entertainment magazine, will land on Korea in June. Kaya Media, a local agency, said on Tuesday that it signed a contract with Playboy Enterprise and will release a Korean edition in June.

The magazine, created by Hugh Hefner in 1953, was famous for an adult magazine for containing many nude pictures. With the change of time, Playboy magazine changed into a magazine without any naked pictures in March last year. In line with this, the Korean edition of Playboy will cover interviews with celebrities, political, social and lifestyle articles and pictures, without any naked pictures.
