I denne utgaven

In a world where everything is about instant gratification— swipe, scroll, like, repeat—our attention spans have never been shorter. TL;DR is the new norm, but some things deserve more than just a quick look. This September, Juyeon from THE BOYZ is on our cover, capturing the bold spirit of Balenciaga under the direction of Demna Gvasalia. Despite the glitz and glamour of being a K-pop idol, Juyeon works hard to keep his life and interactions genuine. Our chat with him reveals how he balances fame with a real and honest approach.
