[Dispatch=Reporter Tae Yoon Jung] "Rather than setting a final goal, I want to keep climbing higher." (Sohee)

Five teams leading the present of K-pop filled the second page of 'D-ICON'. TXT, aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, and RIIZE joined as the second-line lineup for 'D-FESTA D ORIGIN EDITION'.

'D-FESTA D ORIGIN EDITION' is a project planned for Dispatch's 15th anniversary. An art exhibition featuring 48 K-pop artists was reconstructed as photographic records through 'D-ICON'.

The five teams stand at different points in time. But there is a common ground. None of them call themselves complete. 'D-ICON' recorded the present of those who are still advancing.

TXT expressed the time that has endured like dawn. In blue lighting and thin fog, the five members were depicted as they waited for the sun to rise while holding their ground.

Yeonjun said, "When doing something familiar, I try to do it better than before, and when doing something new, I try to enjoy that moment." The members, constantly being rewritten between the familiar and the new, were captured.

aespa expressed the face of now created by time layering upon itself. New colors were added over the color from debut, and the time that was endured each time it wavered was also highlighted.

Giselle said, "My belief in the dream was never shaken." With that belief, aespa's present, solidified, was inscribed in the photograph.

ENHYPEN expressed one spectrum created by six different colors coming together. Just as jewels are formed after long pressure, the solidified time after trial and error was also reflected.

Jay said, "The jewel ENHYPEN is still not fully cut." Already shining, the moment of refining itself toward clearer light was recorded.

IVE expressed confidence solidified by reflecting one another. Elegance as an attitude of protecting oneself was drawn like a single painting.

Yujin said, "When I feel burdened, I just try to trust. There must be a reason for those who chose our music." Even in moments of wavering, a sense of grace that does not lose its center was conveyed.

RIIZE expressed the moment a small spark bursts into flames. The energy of a star still drawing its orbit, like just before completion, was also highlighted.

Eunseok said, "No matter how high I climb, I have always vowed that this heart will not change." The youth of trying not to lose the beginning while reaching higher was recorded.

The TXT, aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, and RIIZE editions are composed of individual covers. Along with a 240-page photo book, five holographic mini postcards with handwriting are provided.

There are three selfie photo cards and monochrome folded photos. In particular, the folded photo features seven black and white portraits. They can be torn off individually and used.
