&TEAM’s EJ and TAKI completed a fashion magazine gravure by capturing each other’s different charms in one frame. On the 21st, according to their agency YX LABELS, the gravure for the fashion and lifestyle magazine Allure Korea’s October issue, featuring EJ and TAKI together, was released. This gravure reflected the two’s time and present, as they had grown at their own pace behind the glamorous stage, and delivered a fresh atmosphere. In the released gravure, they naturally leaned toward each other and created a relaxed, intimate mood. EJ radiated a heavy charisma with a deep, calm gaze and restrained expression, while TAKI breathed lively energy into the gravure with a soft smile and his unique bright energy. In particular, the styling with striking monochrome contrast more clearly highlighted the two’s contrasting personalities. Although they have different atmospheres, they naturally blended into one space while making use of each other’s charms, completing a harmonious visual synergy. Another notable point was that, instead of exaggerated poses or flashy movements, they filled the frame only with delicate gazes and natural gestures. They showed an atmosphere of a different tone from the image of overwhelming the stage with intense group dances and energetic performances, revealing even deeper expressiveness and more mature charm. The gravure and interview containing EJ and TAKI’s diverse charms can be checked in Allure Korea’s October issue, as well as on the official website and social media. &TEAM is also continuing to grow while breaking its own records in music activities. Their second Korean mini album, Mark on Me, released on September 8, recorded first-week sales of 1,357,357 copies, renewing the group’s best record. It also took first place in Hanteo Chart’s weekly album chart and the global category of the World Chart, proving its hot popularity. The title track of the same name, Mark on Me, also maintained its upward momentum. On the KBS 2 program Music Bank aired on September 18, it won first place, bringing &TEAM its fifth trophy total on Korean music shows. Having successfully finished activities in Korea, &TEAM will hold an encore performance in Seoul in October and conclude its Asia tour on a high note. Through the encore concert to be held on October 3 and 4 at KSPO DOME in Songpa District, Seoul, they plan to meet fans again and further solidify their position as a global group. ・&TEAM wins first place on “Music Bank”! “An award received together with fans” ・Due to Typhoon No. 25’s impact... some idol events and large festivals including &TEAM are canceled or postponed This post on Instagram View this post on Instagram A post shared by Allure Korea Allure Magazine Korea (@allurekorea)
