SEVENTEEN member Sungkwan and his beloved dog Puku did a gravure shoot. Today (27th), according to Pledis Entertainment, he served as the cover model for the November issue vol.2 of 'ELLE'. This gravure was produced as part of the 'Hello, Little Love' project celebrating the 33rd anniversary of 'ELLE Korea', with the theme of 'Life with Animals, That Ordinary Daily Life'. The cover gravure released on the same day included warm and gentle moments of Sungkwan and his dog Puku. Sungkwan radiates a sophisticated aura, while Puku gazes at the camera with a cute expression, creating a unique chemistry. The quiet atmosphere of a traditional Korean house's porch makes their intimate relationship appear even more real. In an interview conducted alongside the shoot, Sungkwan showed exceptional affection for Puku. He said, 'Humans sometimes need time when they fight or have disagreements, but with animals, there is no 'distance of time'. I learn a beautiful heart from small beings like Puku.' He added, 'I want to fully enjoy happiness and become someone who expresses love more.' Further gravure and interviews of Sungkwan can be found in 'ELLE' November issue vol.2, as well as on the website, social media, and YouTube channel. His group SEVENTEEN is approaching the end of their 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S.', having successfully completed performances in Tacoma, Los Angeles, and Austin, and will open splendidly again in Sunrise on the 26th-27th (local time) and Washington D.C. on the 29th-30th.
