SEVENTEEN’s DK graced the cover of a fashion magazine with mature charisma. According to his agency, Pledis Entertainment, DK was selected as the cover star for the September issue of Dazed. In the released cover, DK showed a deep gaze. His relaxed, laid-back aura, different from his sensibility-filled appearance on stage, is impressive. DK displayed a variety of charms, sometimes smiling innocently, and at other times with an even deeper atmosphere. In an interview conducted along with the shoot, he said, “I always have the mindset of having steadiness and making unremitting efforts. I have steadily worked hard to continue improving myself and to be able to show CARAT (the name of the fans) a good side of myself,” and, “(Now) it is a time when I am preparing DK to come back with a stronger and deeper presence.” DK has been recognized for his solid singing ability and rich expressiveness through not only group activities, but also the unit BSS (Seungkwan, DK, Hoshi) and the DK x Seungkwan album. He is scheduled to enlist as an active-duty Army soldier on September 8.
