A Rising Sensation: K-Drama Star Captivates in Summer Editorial for Women’s Wear Daily Korea

South Korea’s multitalented actor and singer continues to solidify his rising global appeal through a striking new editorial for the June issue of Women’s Wear Daily Korea. In a series of visually compelling images, the star radiates a crisp and profound mood, seamlessly capturing the essence of early summer.

Known for his seamless transition between television dramas and variety shows, the actor brought his signature refreshing energy to the shoot. The concept balances natural charisma with a composed masculine edge — a combination that showcases an exclusive, personal atmosphere unique to the performer.

Accompanying the pictorial is an in-depth interview in which the star opens up about his current role in the historical drama 귀궁, where he takes on a challenging dual role. “I was drawn to this storyline because it portrays a demon not as pure evil, but through a lens of empathy,” he remarks. “Although I was afraid of tackling historical drama, I didn’t want to avoid growth by saying I wasn’t ready.”

He also teased the second half of the series, promising exciting developments and an engaging climax. “It only gets better from here,” he confidently added.

The full pictorial and interview can be found exclusively in the June issue of Women’s Wear Daily Korea. Additional behind-the-scenes content, including a dynamic moving cover, making-of film, and extended interview footage, is available on the magazine’s official YouTube, Instagram, and website.
