Seventeen (SEVENTEEN) member Joshua showcased the stature of a global icon without reservation through a fashion pictorial with a luxury jewelry brand.
On the 25th, according to his agency PLEDIS Entertainment Co., Joshua was abruptly selected as the cover model for a special edition of the renowned Japanese fashion magazine Numero TOKYO, to be published on the 28th. In this pictorial, a collaboration with the French high jewelry brand Chaumet, Joshua captivated fans around the world with a romantic aura and visuals fitting the theme "when we speak of love."
In the interview conducted alongside the pictorial shoot, fans could glimpse Seventeen's firm initial resolve and passion that have secured its place as a global top group. Joshua said, "Even now, in our 12th year since debut, the passion of all 13 members remains unchanged. We still want to improve." He added, "As an artist and as a person, I also want to grow further. Going forward, I want to challenge myself unreservedly to express myself in various ways," conveying his extraordinary ambitions.
In fact, Joshua has been expanding his global influence through all-around activities that cross borders and fields. Last month, representing the team appointed as UNESCO youth goodwill ambassadors, he visited UNESCO headquarters in Paris in person and spread a message of positive influence to young people around the world. In addition, he has been invited one after another to prestigious overseas fashion events such as Paris Fashion Week, receiving the global fashion world's spotlight.
Also, on the 23rd Joshua surprised fans by releasing a cover recording of Chinese popular singer Ronghao Li's mega hit "耳朵 (Ear)." Reborn with Joshua's distinct sweet, eardrum-melting tone and delicate emotional expression, the song immediately topped QQ Music's rising chart and peak trend chart and entered the popular songs chart at No. 6, heating up the continent's nights and proving his global music power.
Joshua, who is continuing a career high with irreplaceable activities across fields, will draw attention for what he will show in the future as a member of Seventeen and as an individual artist.
