Sehun’s choice of fit for the magazine

Sehun's forward-thinking fashion selections took the spotlight, presenting a warm winter aesthetic that resonated strongly with fans. Adorned in a striking red shawl and donning an elegant black overcoat, the artist, holding an umbrella, exuded a winter fantasy ambiance. The recent photoshoot not only marked the fulfillment of fans' eagerly awaited collaboration but also celebrated the anticipation surrounding it.
