More about Hyunjin's work with Cartier and latest interview with Arena magazine
Stray Kids member Hyunjin was announced as Cartier's ambassador in September 2024. The announcement was made through Esquire Korea, along with new visuals of the singer wearing fine jewelry from the luxury brand.
In his latest interview with Arena Homme+ Korea magazine, the artist once again endorsed Cartier. For the cover shoot, he wore a variation of Cartier accessories like watches, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Speaking about his favorite Cartier accessory, Hyunjin said:
"I originally liked the Panthère de Cartier watch. The rings and necklaces from the same line were pretty too. That caught my eye as an accessory, and for the watch, I liked the new Santos de Cartier. It's small, so I think I'll wear it often."
The artist also reflected on his time as a Stray Kids (aka SKZ) member. He expressed sadness about missing the Latin American leg of the group's ongoing world tour, DominATE. Moreover, he shared his excitement for Hollow, the group's Japanese album slated to release on June 18 this year.
Hyunjin spoke at length about what keeps him motivated, sharing his efforts to maintain happiness and peace in his lifestyle despite a hectic schedule. He concluded the interview by crediting SKZ members and STAY (the group's fandom name) as his motivation and inspiration, expressing his hope for a happy and fulfilling life in the coming years.
