Kep1er’s Shen Xiaoting celebrated her birthday and released a special self-gravure for her fans. This gravure was a work she directly conceived and directed, highlighting a classic sensibility reminiscent of the movie 'In the Mood for Love.' The delicate expressions shown under calm colors and soft lighting evoke the emotion of a film, adding a refined sense to her classical beauty and completing her unique elegant worldview. This project goes beyond just a birthday commemorative shoot; it is an artistic attempt that incorporates her own narrative. In the cover cut, she combines a classic hairstyle with a deep red background and a flower-patterned cheongsam, expressing timeless elegance and embodying her own 'In the Mood for Love.' The video released on the same day features a Chinese narration and continues with cinematic scenes. In the video, Shen Xiaoting states, 'The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. To shine even more on stage, I am always working hard behind the scenes,' conveying a heartfelt message. She concludes with, 'The moments when I shine the most are created that way,' expressing the growth she has built with sincerity. In an interview, she said, 'A new beginning. This year has truly been full of many things,' and shared, 'I feel that I have gained the ability to think for myself, and everything is progressing in a good direction.' She also expressed, 'I want to be remembered as a confident and brave person by the public,' and thanked her fans who support her even in difficult times, stating, 'Your support is a great strength for me.' Shen Xiaoting has been energetically active, moving between stages and programs. In June, she was invited to the red carpet of the 'Shanghai International Film Festival' in China, attracting attention with her elegant visuals and presence. Additionally, she won a silver medal in the dance sports category at the MBC '2025 Chuseok Special Idol Star Championship,' proving her prowess as the 'Dancing Queen.' Furthermore, she has been selected as a master for the original survival show 'PLANET C: HOME RACE' on the global K-POP content platform 'Mnet Plus,' where she will showcase professional stage analysis and mentoring following 'BOYS II PLANET C.' Kep1er, to which Shen Xiaoting belongs, has successfully completed performances in Seoul, Fukuoka, and Tokyo through their global concert tour '2025 Kep1er CONCERT TOUR [Into The Orbit: Kep1asia]' and plans to continue the tour in December in Hong Kong, Kyoto, and Taiwan.
