STRAY KIDS' HYUNJIN SHARES INSIGHTS ON FRIENDSHIP, FAN LOVE, AND GROUP SUCCESS

Stray Kids’ Hyunjin mesmerizes on the cover of Elle Korea's May issue. Admirably focused and fully committed to his craft, Hyunjin's work ethic drew praise even from the magazine's staff, during the recent photoshoot and interview.

Reflecting on the group's successful fourth official fan meeting, ‘SKZ’S MAGIC SCHOOL’, held in Seoul in March, Hyunjin revealed, "During the preparation for the fan meeting, I felt like I was practicing for our fans. And that same energy carries over to today’s photo shoot. It felt like I was not alone but with STAYs, which motivated me to work hard", as quoted by Soompi.

Addressing Stray Kids' recent accomplishments, Hyunjin emphasized the importance of the behind-the-scenes processes and efforts. He expressed, "I believe that the processes and efforts behind the scenes are more important and that outcomes will follow naturally. I don’t want to be satisfied yet; I want to achieve more. Since we’ve come this far thanks to the love of our fans, it would be the most shameful if our skills don’t match up to that".

When questioned about the value he holds most dear, Hyunjin emphasized on 'friendship', affirming, "At some point, I began to think that friendship is truly a deep emotion. We’re in our seventh year since our debut, but the members still have a special affection for the team. I think there’s nothing to be afraid of in the future if this friendship becomes my strong support system". Additionally, the complete pictorial and interview will be featured in the May edition of the magazine.
