Stray Kids’ I.N has set hearts aflame with his stunning new cover for Cosmopolitan Korea’s December 2025 issue — marking a dazzling finale to the year. The pictorial, created in collaboration with Italian luxury jewelry maison Damiani, spotlights I.N as the brand’s global ambassador, radiating elegance, warmth, and refined charisma.
The photoshoot captures I.N through a “gentle lens,” emphasizing his natural charm while showcasing Damiani’s signature Belle Époque, Belle Époque Reel, Margherita, and Mimosa collections — each piece exuding a festive, glamorous mood perfect for the holiday season.
Staff members on set praised I.N for his professionalism and kindness, noting that he greeted everyone individually and maintained his bright energy throughout the shoot.
Following the photoshoot, I.N shared in an interview,
“I was really nervous since this is the last cover of 2025, but I’m proud of how it turned out. It’s a photoshoot I’m truly excited about.”
Reflecting on his journey as Damiani’s global ambassador, I.N expressed his amazement at seeing his face on billboards across Seoul:
“I recently saw my face on a huge screen while crossing the Olympic Bridge. It felt surreal. When I was a trainee, I used to wonder if I’d ever appear on billboards like my seniors — and now that it’s happening, it feels deeply rewarding.”
As Stray Kids prepare to release their new album “SKZ IT TAPE: DO IT” on November 21, I.N teased what fans can expect:
“This album is filled with songs we truly wanted to make. The concept is clear, and preparing it was so fun. It really captures the energy we want to show right now.”
“Being part of Stray Kids is a huge source of pride. Our fans’ love made all of this possible. The dominATE tour felt like the most precious trophy and gift — even if I can’t remember every moment, I remember how happy it made me.”
When asked about what drives his passion for singing, I.N replied sincerely,
“Music gives me the strength to take another step forward. It’s helped me grow stronger as a person. I chose this path because I love singing — and I keep falling in love with it more every day.”
