STRAY KIDS member SEUNGMIN showed off his refreshing charm through a photoshoot.
SEUNGMIN caught the eye during his first encounter with Burberry, a major British brand, in the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar Korea, released on May 15th.
The title of the photoshoot is “After the Rain.” As you can see, the shoot began in the pouring rain. SEUNGMIN wore a trench coat, a Burberry signature piece perfect for rainy days. His deep-set appearance reveals the very essence of boyfriend-like beauty. After the rain stopped, SEUNGMIN’s prominent face and youthful freshness combined with the dense footage to exude an even more refreshing charm.
When asked if SEUNGMIN is today the result of 10% talent and 90% hard work, Seungmin replied in a photo interview:
“I think it’s 5% and 95%. I notice it immediately when I skip a day of training.”
“When I joined the group, I wasn’t even the lead vocalist. I don’t remember singing in front of other people, even when I was young. Famous singers are exceptional singers and go through auditions, or there was an episode that left an impression on them at school performance events.“
“I just listened as much as I could and tried as hard as I wanted, which is how I got here. The good thing about practice is that I feel proud when I face an obstacle and overcome it one by one. I can’t get good results in every practice, but I increase my chances through this one.” – SEUNGMIN
We also talked about SEUNGMIN as a singer.
“What I’m currently looking for is that when you throw a small stone, called a song, in the lake of emotions, the water ripples continue until the end of the song. I hope this calm and emotion will be conveyed to the audience. That’s why I’m trying to express my emotions more freely. I cry when I’m sad, and I get angry when I’m upset… I used to be very patient. I think these changes are gradually being reflected in my songs, as some fans often notice it.“
