Lee Jong Suk and aespa's GISELLE adorned the double cover of the fashion magazine "ELLE" August issue. In an interview conducted after the photo shoot, Lee Jong Suk, who participated in the "Loewe" 2025 Spring/Summer Men's Collection in Paris the other day, expressed his satisfaction, saying, "It was 8 years since I last visited Paris, but I received the impression that the city had become lively and glamorous. I tried to enjoy the city's romance as if I were on a trip. I had the most fun and returned home." GISELLE, who visited Paris in March to attend the "Loewe" collection, recalled the photo shoot with "ELLE" at that time, saying, "It was raining at that time, but I think it actually looked good in the gravure. However, today's photo shoot in Seoul was easier to pose thanks to the warm weather." Questions about the current situation followed. Lee Jong Suk, who recently made a special appearance in the movie "Designer," expressed his affection, saying, "The shooting overlapped with the shooting of 'Big Mouth.' I was happy to be able to co-star with my favorite senior and enjoyed the atmosphere of acting and shooting on the set more casually. There was also a pleasant excitement coming from an unfamiliar set." He expressed his love. "I haven't been deeply absorbed in something for a while. Of course, I'm still thinking about the direction of my acting and acting as an actor, but I'm not pushing myself as severely as before," he said, showing a more relaxed attitude. GISELLE, who successfully promoted aespa's 1st full album, conveyed her current situation, saying, "During the activities, I and the members, as well as the staff of the agency, all worked hard with one heart. Everyone was full of motivation and achieved good results together. The second world tour is scheduled to visit more fans through various events, not just performances." She also expressed her love for the group, saying, "If you are a musician, everyone has their own color, but I think the charm of the group aespa is that their concept is even more clearly visible. The members are also enjoying our own world view every day while working." The gravure and interview of Lee Jong Suk and GISELLE can be seen in the "ELLE" August issue and website.
