Singer Son Tae-jin shows off his unique looks.

On the 19th, @star1 magazine released the November pictorial with Son Tae-jin through their official SNS. This pictorial was filmed under the theme of ‘Time to Shine’, inspired by the title ‘SHINE’ of Son Tae-jin‘s first full-length album, which is scheduled to be released on the 28th.

In the pictorial, Son Tae-jin shows off his versatile charm, embracing both naturalness and dandyism. He looks stylish with two different shirt styles, a striped shirt and a suede shirt. Son Tae-jin showed off his warm appearance with a gentle smile after immersing himself in the filming with a serious expression.

The title of the first regular album ‘SHINE’ was inspired by Son Tae-jin’s official fandom name, ‘SonShine’. Son Tae-jin said about SonShine, “They are my driving force and an indispensable presence. All the words of support from the fans are a great strength that allows me to continue my career as a singer. I truly love singing and performing, but I think that all of this is possible because of the fans, and only when I am with them can I shine like the word ‘Sunshine’.”



The spoiler of ‘SHINE’ followed. Son Tae-jin raised expectations by saying, “I think this album will be one that everyone, from those who liked me before the competition to those who liked me after the competition, will be happy to listen to.”

Son Tae-jin is not only active in his main job, but also in various other fields such as MBC Standard FM‘s ‘Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio’, MBN‘s ‘Korea-Japan Top Ten Show’, and his solo web entertainment show ‘What’s Wrong with Jin’. Son Tae-jin also chose MBC‘s ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ as the entertainment show he would like to appear on, drawing attention by saying, “I don’t have many opportunities to show my daily life, so I think it would be nice to be able to get closer to my fans through this program.“

Son Tae-jin will release his first full-length album ‘SHINE’ through each music streaming site at 6 p.m. on the 28th.
