Yoon Ji Sung bared his mature, older side for his first solo pictorial since the end of Wanna One's promotions.

The black and white 'Elle' magazine pictorial features Yoon Ji Sung in a sometimes natural, sometimes chic mood, as well as a change from his Wanna One image. 

About kicking off his solo promotions, Yoon Ji Sung shared, "It's a little awkward. When we were promoting together, we could rely on one another and share advice, but now I have to do everything on my own. Of course, I'm also looking forward to it. It's fun to have active input in my direction through my own preferences, and seeing those preferences take effect."

The idol was then asked about the hardships of debuting at a late age. "You have to find your own reason to keep going, I think that's very important. Even when things aren't going well, and you hear bad things, you have to be able to justify yourself by saying, 'I like me as I am'. To me, my family, friends, and fans who love me unconditionally are my reason and my justification," he answered. 

Yoon Ji Sung's full pictorial and interview will be available in the February issue of 'Elle'.
