Magazine DAZED released a pictorial and interview with Red Velvet’s Yeri, who is also active as an actress, in its August 2026 issue. This pictorial, shot against the exotic location of Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, captured Yeri’s current 모습 under the theme “ON MY OWN TERMS (in my own way),” trusting herself and walking at her own pace. Yeri wore various stylings such as a knit mini dress, a satin top, and a gingham-check skirt in her own unique atmosphere. From a natural appearance blending into the relaxed resort scenery to expressions from which inner strength overflowed, she fully displayed the charm that is uniquely hers, combining freedom and delicacy. Furthermore, colorful makeup matched to rouge heightened the completeness of the pictorial even more. In the following interview, Yeri compared her recent state to “a quiet sea just before it starts to rain,” and revealed, “Recently, I feel especially calm in my heart. I like the way I am now.” She chose “summer” as the word that represents her and also spoke of her wish to become a person who can deliver bright energy. Yeri also spoke about the strength she thinks of. “I think a truly strong person is someone who has an unshakable standard and core within their inner self. Someone who can trust themselves and keep walking quietly without making a big show to those around them,” she said, revealing her own values. Regarding the attitude she has continued to keep while active for a long time as Red Velvet, she said, “I thought that if I steadily and properly did my own work, it would eventually work out. I think I have been able to come this far with that kind of feeling.” The pictorial and interview, which capture Yeri’s expansive summer charm and her inner self that has grown deeper, can be checked in DAZED’s August issue and on the official website, Instagram, YouTube, and other official SNS channels.
