NewJeans‘ Minzy graced the cover of the January 2025 issue of ‘Elle’.

Minzy, who visited London for the first time for the ‘Elle’ cover shoot, said, “I saw the first snow of the year in London. It was a very special memory.”

When asked what she thinks about most when practicing as the year-end music award ceremonies are in full swing, she said, “The thought I have the most is to not get hurt. Sometimes my passion overflows, so I try to focus on controlling it and leading the performance to the stage.” She also did not hide her affection for the members, saying, “We were able to set many records as NewJeans because the members trusted and relied on each other.”

When asked about her determination for 2025, she said, “NewJeans is still a fresh, solid, and deep team. I want to spend the next year with great music and performances and a year in which I can show you a lot of love. And I hope you don’t forget that each and every one of you are precious,” he said.

New Jeans, who proved their global popularity by being the only K-pop group to be selected as the best song of 2024 by the New York Times with their song ‘Supernatural’ this year, will meet their fans through an award ceremony stage at the end of the year.

Minzy‘s pictorial full story and interview, as well as a beauty film set in London, can be found in the January issue of ‘Elle’ and on the website, and a YouTube film will also be released.
