BOYNEXTDOOR members Seongho and Taesan adorned the fashion magazine's first cover of the new year.
Cosmopolitan on Jan. 15 released three of five cover versions for its January 2026 issue featuring Seongho and Taesan on its official social media channels. The shoot was conducted with the concept of "youth sharing the values of music and youth." This is BOYNEXTDOOR's first unit pictorial, highlighting the two members' striking visuals. On their individual covers, Seongho displayed a cheerful and playful mood, while Taesan showed chic charm with intense eyes. In photos of the two together, they captured attention by expressing a hip sensibility.
In a joint interview, Seongho and Taesan said, "This is the first time we've done a pictorial as a unit, so it felt different. We're proud because the results came out so beautifully." They added, "2025 was a year when we received unexpected love and attention. Thanks to that, I feel we are moving in a good direction," reflecting on the year as it ended. They also expressed enthusiasm, saying, "I think it's an incredible fortune to be active as BOYNEXTDOOR during the golden era of K-pop. Our dream is to be 'artists who represent a generation,' and as long as there are people who love our music, we will continue moving toward that dream."
They also expressed expectations for future activities. "As always, we will release a good album to show the ONEDOOR fandom. We are working to show a completely different side. I hope that on the last day of 2026 we will be able to look back and recall that our activities were successful," they wished.
More photos and interviews of Seongho and Taesan can be found in Cosmopolitan's January issue and on the magazine's official website and social media channels.
