The dualities of clothing frame the essence of Hyunjin—denim’s relaxed demeanor, knits’ rich textures, and leather’s sharp edge—all complemented by the timeless elegance of Cartier jewelry.
The Cartier Trinity ring, with its century-old history, becomes a subtle yet powerful symbol of the blend of tradition and modernity that Hyunjin embodies. His role as a modern ambassador for Cartier highlights a narrative where history is preserved and actively engages with the present.
Stylist Kim Hye-Jeong, known for her work with Hyunjin on a Versace advertisement, selects pieces that effortlessly transition between casual and semi-formal. The styling stands out for its thoughtful composition and nuanced approach.
Reflecting on his success with Stray Kids, achieving milestones like entering Billboard’s Hot 100 and winning an MTV Video Music Award, Hyunjin shares in a translated quote, “I believe that the process and effort behind the scenes are more important, and the results will follow. I still don’t want to be satisfied, and I want to accomplish more.”
Hyunjin’s thoughts on personal connections, especially friendship within Stray Kids, are conveyed: “At some point, I realized that friendship is profoundly meaningful. When it becomes solid support, I believe there’s nothing to fear in the future.”
