The group's SEVENTEEN members THE 8 and Vernon graced the cover of a fashion magazine with a sensory aura.
Fashion lifestyle magazine "Allure Korea" unveiled the April issue featuring THE 8 and Vernon on the 17th. In the photo spread the two expressed moments of free youth with intense, deep gazes. From naturally tousled hairstyles and makeup that created freckles to the subtly hinted dark sensibility, their unrefined energy stood out.
In an interview conducted alongside the photo shoot, the two's chemistry and sincere affection for CARAT, their fandom, came through. THE 8 hinted, "Vernon and I previously worked together on my Chinese EP 'STARDUST.' Our musical pursuits and the messages we want to convey align well." Vernon also said, "(THE 8 is) someone who complements my shortcomings," and added, "I want to be that kind of presence for hyung too," suggesting the depth of their close friendship.
When asked about the source of his energy as an artist, Vernon revealed his passion for work, saying, "The strongest driving force is the desire to show exceptional and good results." THE 8 said, "The biggest driving force is CARAT. Because fans are there, I gain the strength to keep moving forward."
More photo spreads and interviews with THE 8 and Vernon can be found in the Allure Korea April issue, on the website, and on the official social media channels.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN, which includes THE 8 and Vernon, will hold 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN ASIA' at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan on the 21st. They will then hold an encore concert at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on the 4th–5th of next month, capping off a world tour that has run for about seven months.
