The gravure of Dawon from Cosmic Girls has been released. Recently, Dawon conducted a gravure shoot and interview with the fashion magazine 'COSMOPOLITAN'. The released gravure captures Dawon's diverse charm under the slogan 'FUN FEARLESS FEMALE'. In the gravure, she perfectly embodies various styles, from cool casual looks to sexy and enchanting bra-top outfits, captivating the audience. Dawon successfully debuted as a solo artist with her 1st digital single 'gonna love me, right?' released last September. Following the title track 'body', which won a trophy for 1st place on music programs, she garnered explosive reactions from global fans through challenge videos featuring various K-POP artists, actors, dancers, and creators. Not only in South Korea but also in the UK music magazine 'NME', the US economic magazine 'Forbes', and the US broadcaster FOX13 Seattle, many MTV channels focused on Dawon's solo debut. This gravure focuses on capturing Dawon's confident and bold appearance, which continues to gain momentum into 2026. Throughout the shoot, she radiated bright and positive energy, completing a perfect gravure professionally and evoking admiration. In an interview after the shoot, Dawon expressed, 'I always wanted to be a woman with a basis. I wanted to act without baselessness, and thus, even if I don't stand out, I can emit my presence. I wanted to prove that I am someone who can firmly pursue what I seek.' She also reflected on the process of challenging herself as a solo artist and the brilliant achievements of her first solo album 'gonna love me, right?'. Dawon shared her joy about winning the Best Female Solo Artist award at the recent '2025 KOREA GRAND MUSIC AWARDS', saying, 'I was really grateful and happy. I received the 1st place trophy on the 14th day of my solo debut, but at that time, I was so stunned that I couldn't feel the joy. Looking back now, I think, 'Wow, I was really amazing!' She expressed her feelings of joy. When asked about her dreams, she replied, 'In 2011, when I went to a museum in Jeju, I wrote a letter to my future self ten years later. The young me wrote, 'In ten years, I will be a global pop star! And I will be the best at singing and dancing in the world!' That girl's dream hasn't changed. I want to be loved in Korea and around the world, and I intend to do so.' This heightened expectations for her future activities. More of Dawon's gravure and interviews can be found in the January 2026 issue of 'COSMOPOLITAN' and on their website and social media.
