Wonyoung's shining moment has been captured in a photo. Wonyoung adorned the cover of the fashion magazine 'ELLE' November issue. This photoshoot captured Wonyoung's eternally shining moments alongside BVLGARI's iconic jewelry. Wonyoung expressed her feelings about the most intense and warm moments of light, saying, 'I feel light in various moments, such as the love from fans, on stage, and the friendship with my companions, as well as the love from family, but I think the moment that best matches the word 'light' is on stage. I actually fill the stage while being bathed in many lights, and there are many moments when that light illuminates my heart. When I think that the light sent by fans is the light that illuminates me, I feel my emotions come alive.' Regarding her most shining moment, she conveyed, 'I think the moment when I can speak about myself confidently is the most shining. When I am myself and have confidence in myself, I feel the brightest and feel I can do anything.' After finishing activities for her 4th mini-album and with her second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' approaching, she shared her expectations for this tour, saying, 'As I travel around the world, I look forward to discovering worlds I have not yet known and learning from everything. It seems that the more experiences I accumulate, the more I grow.' Wonyoung, who believes in herself and moves forward strongly, said, 'I believe in the power of words,' and added, 'Every time I face various obstacles, I chanted a spell to myself, saying, 'I can always do it,' so that I wouldn't crumble in front of them. In doing so, eventually, all those moments pass, and what remains is a more grown version of myself.' Wonyoung's photos and interview can be seen in the November issue of ELLE and on the ELLE website.
