Miss Maxim Star Chel Seol-ah Heats Up Summer with Red-Hot June Cover

Chel Seol-ah, one of Korea’s hottest rising stars, has officially ushered in the summer with her sizzling appearance on the cover of the June 2025 issue of Maxim. Known for her dazzling charm and stunning physique, Chel confidently declared, “Hotter than summer—Chel Seol-ah is here. My looks and body are at their peak, and I’m ready to own the summer of 2025 with Maxim.”

The June cover showcases the model in a set of bold, seasonal styles—from a red-striped bikini to a striking blue two-piece and a sheer black tube top with a micro bikini. Posing with her arms elegantly positioned to highlight her curves, Chel radiates confidence and sex appeal with every shot.

Sharing her excitement about the shoot, Chel revealed, “I tried on nearly 20 bikinis while preparing for this cover. I had hoped to land a summer cover shoot eventually, but I didn’t expect it to happen this soon. I’m truly happy to show my charm to a wider audience.”

Since debuting as a Miss Maxim contestant, Chel has experienced a major transformation. “Thanks to Miss Maxim, I launched my influencer career. Managing my figure has become a lifestyle, and I’m even more careful with my diet before big shoots,” Chel said. “Most importantly, Maxim helped me understand exactly what men like. That changed everything.”

Chel’s previous bikini shoot in a self-designed Chelsea-themed bikini—featured during the 2023 Miss Maxim Contest—remains memorable among fans. “People still ask me to sign Chelsea jerseys. I’m not even an athlete, so I always hesitate, but I sign them with gratitude,” she shared. “I believe that fan love and memories from that shoot helped me appear on this Maxim cover.”
