In the stunning photoshoot, Yeji exuded elegance and confidence, perfectly embodying the brand’s sophisticated yet modern aesthetic. Styled in Roger Vivier’s latest collection, she showcased an array of chic footwear and accessories, further highlighting her fashion-forward sensibility.
During the accompanying interview, Yeji opened up about the creative journey behind her first solo album, sharing insights into the challenges and excitement of embarking on this new chapter.
“The main theme, ‘Air,’ represents my journey of finding and creating the perfect ‘air’ for myself,” she said. “Through this new ‘air,’ I discover a different side of myself and experience emotions I’ve never felt before. Through this album, you’ll be able to feel my passion as I challenge myself to see and understand aspects of myself I hadn’t noticed before.”
She also took a heartfelt moment to express her gratitude toward MIDZY, acknowledging their unwavering support and encouragement.
“No matter how well I do, I believe nothing can be truly perfect,” Yeji said. “When I thought about what has filled the gaps in me, I realized it was always MIDZY [ITZY’s fandom]. I’m so thankful for the way my fans cheer on my performances and recognize my efforts—it truly gives me strength. And if I had to name something within myself, it would be passion.”
“Because I love what I do, I still have a strong desire to perform well and show my best to my fans,” she added. “That passion keeps me from feeling exhausted and allows me to continue loving my job for a long time.”
