Group Cravity‘s Taeyoung has finished his first solo pictorial shoot with the March issue of @star1.

Taeyoung showed off his unique charm while digesting his bold style. Taeyoung said, “One of my goals this year was to shoot a solo pictorial, and I’m so touched that I was able to achieve it so quickly.” “I normally like taking pictures, and I had a lot of fun trying out different concepts through this shoot.”

Taeyoung is planning a new challenge for 2025. He shared his recent trip to Italy, saying, “Starting working on a song was a goal, and traveling alone was also on my list.” Taeyoung said, “The trip itself wasn‘t perfect, but I had time alone and experienced a lot. There were many romantic moments, and it was a chance for healing in the midst of a busy schedule,” he added.

CRAVITY won Mnet’s ‘Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE’. Taeyoung said, “As we tried various performances, all the members’ desire and confidence towards our goals grew. Our teamwork also became stronger,” and added, “It was very meaningful that CRAVITY was able to receive more recognition through the win.”

Taeyoung, who is celebrating his fifth year since debut, said about his growth and changes, “My appearance has changed a lot, but I’ve also grown a lot on the inside. I used to get stressed out by unexpected situations, but now I can deal with them more flexibly,” showing a more mature appearance.

Lastly, Taeyoung showed special affection for the fans who watch over CRAVITY. “Spending time alone for ‘healing’ is good, but I realized once again that the power that fans give us is much greater. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “The love that fans consistently send me is the biggest driving force that keeps me going.”
