Stray Kids’ Seungmin Stuns in Burberry for Harper’s BAZAAR Korea June Cover
Harper’s BAZAAR Korea has revealed its striking June issue cover featuring Seungmin of Stray Kids, dressed head-to-toe in iconic Burberry. Titled ‘After the Rain’, the editorial beautifully captures the harmony between Seungmin’s youthful presence and the timeless elegance of Burberry’s trench coat under moody skies and fresh greenery.
This marks Seungmin’s first major collaboration with the British fashion powerhouse, adding a distinguished edge to the shoot. In the rain-soaked visuals, Seungmin appears contemplative yet fresh, embodying the poetic theme gracefully. Once the rain subsides, his clear expression and boyish charm blend with the lush nature background, delivering a refreshing aesthetic that resonates with fans and fashion lovers alike.
In the accompanying interview, the artist shared insight into his journey as a vocalist, modestly attributing his growth to relentless practice. “It’s about 5% talent and 95% hard work,” Seungmin admitted, stating that even missing a single day of training can be noticeable. Though he didn’t start out as the group’s main vocalist and had little prior experience singing publicly, his passion for music and relentless dedication propelled him forward. He expressed pride in surpassing his own limitations through consistent effort.
As a vocal artist, Seungmin likened his approach to skipping stones across an emotional lake—striving to evoke feelings in audiences through nuanced delivery. Over time, he has embraced emotional openness, shedding his reserved personality to cry when sad and show anger when provoked. This transformation, he says, has subtly influenced his singing style—a shift his fans have recognized over time.
The full pictorial, video content, and interview with Seungmin in collaboration with Burberry can be found in Harper’s BAZAAR Korea’s June print issue, as well as on the magazine’s official website and Instagram page.
