The spring issue of "CREA" 2024 will be released on March 7th. Since its launch in 1989, "CREA" has continued to publish as a one-theme magazine targeting curious women. In the spring issue of 2024, there is a special feature on "Taiwan, you have to go" for over 90 pages.

The cover and opening gravure feature Nicholas, a member of the global group "&TEAM" who debuted as the first artist from HYBE LABELS JAPAN, a subsidiary of HYBE, which has BTS and SEVENTEEN. He is from Taiwan and has returned home for the first time in three years. He travels around Taiwan with him, who is 21 years old and has returned home for the first time in three years. He was born in Taiwan and is known as the "Silicon Valley of Taiwan," and the old town of Hsinchu, a town near Taipei, where there is a quaint townscape. Ningxia Night Market, loved by the locals in Taipei. And the 507 underpass of the Banqiao Station, known as a dance spot, where Nicholas himself danced street dance until he went to Korea at the age of 17. He said in an interview, "I think the best charm of Taiwan is the 'people.' Everyone is kind and free. They accept various cultures. It is because I grew up in such an environment that I am who I am now." In addition, as if to support Nicholas's words, there was a surprise that friends who used to dance together appeared with a surprise for the shooting staff at the 507 underpass of Banqiao Station, with a thermos bag containing tofu pudding, tapioca drinks, and homemade side dishes. Furthermore, as an insert supplement, a SPECIAL PHOTO CARD " &TEAM NICHOLAS in Taiwan" was produced, recording Nicholas's daily life in Taiwan for the first time in three years on 12 thick cardboard photo cards. It also includes cuts taken by him, who enjoys photography. In addition, a project to tour her world of works with Taiwanese manga artist and illustrator Gao Yan, who is attracting attention with "The Song of Green-Collective Wind," is published over four pages. The illustration drawn for this issue, which depicts the scenery of the beloved streets of Taiwan, is a must-see.
