Kim Mingyu of SEVENTEEN continues to solidify his status as one of K-pop’s most versatile style icons. The 28-year-old star has been unveiled as the face of W Korea’s newest digital cover, teaming up with the heritage French fashion label MARITHÉ+FRANÇOIS GIRBAUD for a fresh, effortlessly cool editorial.

This collaboration arrives hot on the heels of Mingyu’s recent high-profile covers for GQ Korea and Esquire, further cementing his growing influence in the fashion world.
Beyond the polished studio shots, the idol treated fans to a more personal side on Weverse. Sharing candid selfies from a rainy fansign event, Mingyu responded to one fan’s theatrical “farewell” letter with his trademark goofy charm: “…oh fun shower..”. The playful reply quickly melted hearts and reminded everyone why he remains a fan favorite equal parts global style star and relatable boy-next-door.
