SHINee's Minho has released a special gravure. Minho conducted a gravure shoot for the fashion magazine 'Allure Korea' for the September issue, showcasing stylish cuts with a refined sensibility and chic poses. In a full-body shot boasting perfect proportions, Minho emits a strong aura with a deep gaze, overwhelming viewers and demonstrating a professional side of gravure that leaves them in awe. Additionally, in a two-shot with actor Park Gun-hyung, who he pairs with in the play 'Waiting for Godot,' they create a unique chemistry with a combination of dignity and vigor that attracts attention. In a subsequent interview, Minho shared his thoughts on his theater challenge, saying, 'I was thrilled to fulfill a childhood dream. On one hand, I felt a sense of responsibility and faced many difficulties, but I forgot the passage of time while practicing, just like a child, and it was fun to do what I wanted.' He further expressed, 'In theater, after finishing one stage, you can stand on the same stage the next day, allowing emotions to build up. As this happens, the depth of emotions and thoughts increases, naturally enhancing the quality of the work. The vague sketch gradually becomes complete, and I can solve my own mysteries.' His enthusiasm for theater has garnered great expectations for his performance in the re-run of 'Waiting for Godot.' Minho will transform again into the understudy role of Val, delivering an even more upgraded charm. The play 'Waiting for Godot' will open in Korea on September 16, 2025, at the YES24 Stage No. 3 and is scheduled to run until November 16.
