SEVENTEEN's Wonwoo, who successfully completed the activities of the special unit, adorned the cover of a fashion magazine. The fashion magazine "ARENA HOMME+" released the cover image of the August issue, which was shot with Wonwoo, on the 15th. In the gravure, he stands out with a sophisticated and masculine atmosphere. In the interview that was also released at the same time, you could catch a glimpse of Wonwoo's honest thoughts as an artist in his 10th year. This year, he has continued his vigorous activities by successively presenting SEVENTEEN's best album "17 IS RIGHT HERE" and the special unit's John Han & Wonwoo's 1st single "THIS MAN". Wonwoo said, "Sometimes when I look at SEVENTEEN's albums, it feels like a photo album. We have captured all the moments we have experienced in music. Because we made it in really tough times, there are heavy songs, but also powerful songs that want to break through that period." He also said, "SEVENTEEN's music is SEVENTEEN's life." Wonwoo, who has steadily participated in SEVENTEEN's album work, including writing and composing the solo song "Trash Can," said, "I think a large part of my work is occupied by mediocrity. Thanks to that, I think more people can empathize with my work." When asked what is most important to him, he answered, "I want to make sure I don't lose the fun." He, who is famous for his exceptional photography skills, added, "Recently, both music and photography are very enjoyable. It's fun to go to the studio and make songs, even if it means reducing sleep time, and to take photos with a camera. I want to remember this joy now." The gravure and interview, which incorporate Wonwoo's various charms, can be confirmed in the August issue of "ARENA HOMME+".
