But this isn’t just another magazine feature. It’s a high-fashion statement. Wearing Cartier’s iconic Santos de Cartier watch — originally created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont — Hyunjin exudes both history and modernity. The square dial with its geometric lines and signature screws represents timeless design, and on Hyunjin’s wrist, it looks undeniably fresh and personal.
Paired with the brand’s signature jewelry pieces, Hyunjin brings a subtle power and elegance that only he can pull off. Simple white tees, denim, and checked shirts are elevated with Cartier’s luxurious touch, proving that “luxury” isn’t just about price tags — it’s about presence. And Hyunjin’s is unmistakable.
In his interview with Arena Homme Plus, Hyunjin gave fans a rare window into his personal world. “I try to view the world through an aesthetic lens,” he shared. “Buying flowers on a nice day, making pottery, or going for a drive with music — I find small happiness in those things.” His words, much like his presence in the shoot, reflect an artist who seeks depth and meaning in every moment.
But Hyunjin’s reflection wasn’t just about quiet joys. He spoke openly about the weight he carries as an artist. “I want to give my all so that when I look back, I have no regrets — not toward myself, and definitely not toward my fans,” he said. “Stay is someone I want to be with forever. I’ll do my best to keep the love we share strong.”
Currently on a global stadium tour with Stray Kids, Hyunjin also reflected on the magnitude of performing in such grand venues. “It was exhilarating,” he said of the wide-open stadiums. “There’s an overwhelming sense of accomplishment, and I’m grateful for every moment. I hope fans enjoy the upcoming Japan, North America, and Europe tours as much as we do.”
With his rising international influence, Hyunjin continues to draw the attention of luxury brands, and collaborations like this one with Cartier show why: he’s not just wearing fashion — he is the fashion.
