Stray Kids’ Has I.N graced the cover of the December issue of fashion/lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan. Featured in the end of the year issue, was Italian luxury jewelry Maison Damiani, of which I.N is a global ambassador.
Through this cover, Damiani showcased products full of holiday spirit, including the glamorous Belle Epoque, the sophisticated Belle Epoque Lille, and the lovely Margherita and Mimosa collections.
The concept was to capture I.N’s relaxed appearance up close with a “gentle lens.” I.N pulled off various jewelry styles without a hint of fatigue, and warmed the hearts of those around him by visiting every staff member he worked with on set.
I.N shared his thoughts on the cover shoot:
“I was really nervous because it was my last cover for 2025, but I feel more proud than nervous because I think I did really well. It’s a pictorial that I’m really looking forward to.”
On being a Damiani Global Ambassador I.N stated:
“I was passing by the Olympic Bridge a while ago and my face was huge on the big screen. I often see my face in advertisements online, and it felt strange. When I was a trainee, I used to see my senior celebrities on the screen and think, ‘Will I ever be able to be on a screen like that?’ But now that my real self is being shown, I feel so proud.”
Stray Kids will be releasing their SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’ on November 21st. Ahead of their comeback, I.N stated:
“I think we can say that this album is filled with the songs we want to do. At the same time, the concept of the album is also clear. Thanks to that, I definitely felt that we would be able to have more fun promoting this album while preparing for it.”
I.N. expressed his extraordinary affection and sense of responsibility for the team and their career, stating:
“Just being Stray Kids gives me so much pride. I think we’ve been able to receive this much love because we became Stray Kids.” He continued, “I think this ‘dominATE’ tour was the most precious trophy and gift to me. So many fans came to see our performances. When I’m so focused on the performance, I honestly don’t remember every single moment in detail. It’s just that I love it so much. Whenever I feel STAY’s love for us, I’m overcome with gratitude and pride.”
When asked about the driving force behind his dedication to singing, stated:
“Singing is the driving force that pushes me to take a step further. I think it’s thanks to singing that I feel stronger. I chose this profession because I love singing. I can’t help but love singing, and I think it’s only growing stronger.”
