Mingyu of SEVENTEEN has once again proven his presence as a global fashion icon. Today (7th), according to Pledis Entertainment, Mingyu graced the covers of the January issues of the Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand editions of the magazine 'Esquire.' In this shoot, Mingyu perfectly styled the luxury brand's 2026 summer men's collection, solidifying his position as the brand's ambassador. He showcased fashionable charm through a variety of outfits, from a special look with a scarf added to a vest to a romantic-toned sweatshirt. Without special accessories, he displayed charisma through free poses and gazes, hinting at his professionalism as a model. In a concurrent interview, his unique passion and energy were evident. Last November, he filmed 'Tiny Desk' at NPR's headquarters in the U.S. with his members, sharing that he initially struggled with performances relying solely on voice and band sound but found it very enjoyable once completed. He expressed a determination to ensure that many people can recognize 'this is Mingyu's voice' at once someday, raising expectations for the 'CxM [DOUBLE UP] LIVE PARTY' tour with S.COUPS in five cities in Korea and abroad. The tour will kick off from the 23rd to the 25th at Incheon Inspire Arena, continuing to Busan, Aichi, Chiba, and Kaohsiung. The Incheon performance's FC membership pre-sale sold out on the opening day, showcasing their strong ticket power. SEVENTEEN recently concluded their 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN JAPAN' with over 420,000 fans across four cities in Japan. After a brief rest, they will continue their Asian tour in large stadiums in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, and Bulacan in February and March this year.
