The gravure of Choi Yena, who is from IZ*ONE, has been released. Recently, Choi Yena conducted a gravure shoot and interview with the beauty life magazine "BEAUTY+". The shoot, conducted under the concept "BEAM ME UP", reflects a different side of Choi Yena, who has a bright and refreshing energy, capturing her new charm in a more mature atmosphere. In the released gravure, Choi Yena stands in front of the camera with free and lively poses. Through the movement of light and expressions, she expresses her own world, demonstrating her presence not only as a singer but also as an independent artist. In the subsequent interview, she candidly spoke about her long-awaited rest period, her relationship with fans, and her passion for music. Choi Yena conveyed her feelings after meeting fans directly through a fan signing event, saying, "Now, love feels visible. Fans are like family to me." She also shared her recent experiences of spending time leisurely, traveling with friends, and planning to spend time with family, indicating that she is taking a breather after her busy activities. Even during her rest period, her interests remained unchanged. "I still love anime. Recently, I've been hooked on content dubbed by anime voice actors," she smiled. In particular, she expressed happiness when her work and hobbies overlap through collaborations with her favorite characters, saying, "The happiest time is when my otaku activities and work come together." Regarding her direction as a singer, she mentioned, "In the past, I always felt regret after finishing a stage, but recently, I tell myself, 'You did well.'" She conveyed a changed mindset, having learned to encourage herself and find happiness rather than pursuing perfection, stating, "This feeling is conveyed as energy on stage." Choi Yena did not hide her expectations for future activities, saying, "I definitely want to try a stage that combines hip-hop and performance. I believe a day will come when I can show a wonderful stage in my own color." She added, "Now I understand that health is the most important thing. I want to proceed steadily without overdoing it." Finally, Choi Yena expressed her heartfelt desire to continue taking on more challenges with gratitude, saying, "There are still many aspects of Yena that I haven't shown yet. I want to be remembered as an artist who continues to grow." The gravure filled with her shining energy can be checked in the November issue of "BEAM ME UP" and on the website.
