Hyunjin of Stray Kids adorned the cover of the fashion magazine 'ELLE' April issue. This gravure captures Hyunjin's most dynamic and free-spirited moments against a Korean backdrop, along with Cartier watches and jewelry. An interview was also conducted after the gravure shoot. Recently, Stray Kids has gained astonishing popularity, setting a record of 8 consecutive number ones on the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the U.S. Hyunjin spoke about his motivating mindset, saying, 'I live with the thought of 'let's just try it.' I tend to confront things head-on. If you don't start, you'll just stay in place, and whether I can accomplish something or not, I won't know until I actually try it. So I tend to start without looking back.' Regarding the emotions of facing each audience member during their largest world tour 'dominATE,' he expressed, 'In that moment on stage, I truly feel like a 'superstar.' Seeing the love pouring in front of me, I feel how happy it is to have a profession that is so loved. Therefore, I don't want to lose this moment.' As they approach their 8th debut anniversary, he showcases his growing musical abilities, stating that his most free moments are indeed 'on stage.' Hyunjin remarked, 'Life comes with various constraints, but on stage, it is not so. It is a space that cannot be invaded by anyone, and that space and time are completely my own.' His three types of covers, gravure cuts, and interview can be found in the April issue of 'ELLE KOREA.' You can also watch YouTube content and fashion films through social media and YouTube channels.
