On the 1st of October, fashion magazine ELLE unveiled their special digital project titled “D Edition,” showcasing the renowned K-pop group NewJeans (comprising Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein) in collaboration with Calvin Klein. In the released photoshoot, NewJeans brilliantly represented the essence of 1990s minimalism, highlighting their professional image.
During an interview that accompanied the photoshoot, the members of NewJeans discussed their double single “How Sweet,” which was released in May, as well as their Japanese debut single “Supernatural,” launched in June. Minji shared her enthusiasm for “Supernatural,” stating, “It was our official debut single in Japan, so the anticipation was really high. It was a fun and meaningful experience as we were able to showcase music and dance that suited us well.”
Danielle, who debuted her self-composed song “Butterflies” during a fan meeting at Tokyo Dome in June, expressed her feelings, saying, “I poured my desire to always be with Bunnies (our fandom) into the song,” highlighting her deep affection for the fans. Hanni reminisced, “I spent a long time looking at the photos I took of Bunnies from the stage, where each fan’s expression was captured so clearly. Seeing the happy faces I couldn’t notice from the stage made me emotional.”
Hyein, who had to step back from activities due to an injury, reflected, “Seeing NewJeans from a step away, the word ‘happiness’ suited the team the most. Watching the performances and listening to the music gave me a clear sense of joy during that precious time.” Haerin shared a special moment of connection with her fellow members, saying, “Right before we go on stage, when we shout ‘fighting!’ and look into each other’s eyes, I feel how much we rely on one another.”
You can find NewJeans’ digital cover, moving cover, fashion film, and video interview on ELLE‘s website and their social media channels. The complete story of the pictorial will be featured in the November issue of ELLE.
