NewJeans adorned the digital cover of a fashion magazine with a chic atmosphere. On the 1st, the fashion magazine 'ELLE' released the cover of the special digital project 'D Edition' that NewJeans and 'Calvin Klein' collaborated on. In the released gravure, NewJeans perfectly showcased the 1990s minimalism concept and displayed a professional appearance. Alongside the gravure shoot, they revealed their thoughts on their double single 'How Sweet' released in May and June, and their Japanese debut single 'Supernatural.' Minji expressed about 'Supernatural,' saying, 'Since it is our official debut single in Japan, the expectations were really high. It seems to have become a fun and important activity where we could show music and dance that fits us well.' Daniel, who premiered her self-composed song 'Butterflies' at a fan meeting held at Tokyo Dome in June, expressed her affection, saying, 'This song was made with the feeling of wanting to always be with Bunnies (NewJeans' fans).' Hani shared, 'In the photos of Bunnies taken on stage, each fan's expression was vividly captured, and I looked closely at the photos. Seeing the happy expressions that I couldn't see well on stage made me emotional.' Hee-in, who couldn't participate in activities for a while due to an injury, reflected, 'From a step back, the team NewJeans suited the word 'happiness' the best. It was an important time where I could vividly feel the happiness while watching the stage and listening to the music.' Heerin answered about moments of intimacy with the members, saying, 'Before going on stage, when we shout 'Fight!' Looking into each other's eyes and shouting the encouragement makes us feel we can rely on each other.' NewJeans' digital cover, moving cover, fashion film, and video interviews will be released on 'ELLE's' website and social media channels. The entire gravure can be seen in the November issue of 'ELLE.'
