[Dispatch=Reporter Lee Ah-jin] THE 8 of SEVENTEEN has presented countless faces over 12 years. From an intense performer to a free artist, he has consistently expanded his own color.
'Dicon' Issue 36 awakened a new sensibility in THE 8. The title is 'THE 8TH SENSE'. On 128 pages, it recorded his eighth sense that even Carats (the fandom name) have yet to encounter.
Type A observed THE 8 in a quiet home. The set, lighting, and poses were all stripped away. The focus was on his natural sensibility flowing from the most comfortable space.
THE 8 unbuttoned his shirt and tousled his hair. He leaned loosely in a chair, then sat on the floor lost in thought. It was his most natural and freest appearance.
When light and shadow passed across his face, another atmosphere emerged. He accepted even the subtlest changes in his own way. That delicate sensibility was captured without omission.
Type B awakened an entirely different sensibility. It headed between blue skies and trees with green light. It drew out the innocent side of THE 8 that remains.
THE 8 rode a bicycle and cut through the wind, gazing at tree insects with curious eyes. Eyes sparkling under sunlight and an upturned mouth corners were 'boyish'.
His sensibility was revealed in styling as well. He put on a shirt, took it off, and lightly draped it over his shoulders again. Without being bound by set coordinates, he completed his own fashion.
'Dicon' Issue 36 looked into THE 8's inner sensibility as well. In a TMI interview, it examined his current tastes in detail. Through an in-depth interview, the artist's concerns were also heard.
Various accessories depending on versions such as Type A and Type B were also prepared. You can receive photocards, mini postcards, film camera photocards, wall calendars, acrylic swing photo stands, and more.
