Gaul of IVE adorned the cover of a magazine. Fashion magazine 'WWD KOREA' published Gaul's gravure and interview for the February issue yesterday (16th). In the gravure, Gaul styled a casual sporty look with her unique charm, showcasing the true value of a 'gravure craftsman.' Through the gravure, she delicately expressed her inner self as a 'growing artist,' coexisting with the energy on stage and the calm rhythm in daily life. This gravure, themed 'STILL GROWING,' focused on Gaul's rhythm of alternating between moments of energy and time to catch her breath, visually representing her mature atmosphere. Gaul infused her experiences and concentration accumulated since her debut into the gravure. 'Since this is my first personal gravure of the year, I prepared with the feeling of wanting to do even better,' she shared, revealing her hidden efforts, including thorough stretching and massage before the shoot. In the following interview, Gaul candidly spoke about her stage self and daily self. She said, 'I used to try to distinguish between the two, but now I think both are me. A single person cannot have just one aspect, and accepting that is a way to protect myself.' She added, 'After releasing energy, the most important reset method is to recover through time alone.' She mentioned 'growth' as a word to describe her current self. Having gone through moments of anxiety and doubt since her debut, Gaul conveyed her honest perspective on her ongoing growth, stating, 'Each of those processes has made me who I am now.' For Gaul, the fandom DIVE has been a presence that supports her in both happy and sad times. She expressed deep affection for her fans, saying, 'The fact that I am someone who was truly loved in someone's life is something to be grateful for.' Finally, Gaul hinted at her next activities, saying, 'We will probably meet again before this cold passes.' Entering her sixth year since debut, she emphasized that 'not losing the original intention is the most important,' conveying her expectations for various personal endeavors as well as IVE's activities.
