Jang Haneum and Kang Woojin’s feature in Y Magazine’s Winter 2025 issue (Issue 19) is a masterclass in modern Korean editorial fashion, blending the poetic spirit of youth with the sharpness of avant-garde styling. The pictorial, themed “Youth in Motion,” captures the duo in a series of dynamic and atmospheric shots that evoke both movement and stillness, a duality that mirrors their rising careers in music and entertainment.​

The Concept and Backstory

This shoot coincides with Jang Haneum’s first solo fan concert, “Winter Night’s Wonderland,” adding an emotional layer to the editorial. The magazine frames their images as a visual narrative of transition—youthful dreams colliding with the realities of fame, and the beauty found in that liminal space. The pictorial is not just a display of fashion, but a story of identity and growth, with each frame contributing to a larger conversation about what it means to be young and visible in contemporary Korea.​

Styling and Hair/Makeup Details

The styling, led by Kim Sungdeok, is both refined and experimental. For the first look, Jang Haneum wears a tailored, oversized wool coat in muted tones, paired with wide-leg trousers and minimalist leather boots, creating a silhouette that is both relaxed and sophisticated. Kang Woojin opts for a deconstructed blazer over a fluid silk shirt, suggesting a blend of classic and contemporary menswear. Hair by Hong Hyunseung is slicked back for Jang, while Kang’s is tousled for a more carefree effect. Makeup by Lee Sukgyeong is understated, with soft contouring and a focus on natural skin, letting the subjects’ expressions take center stage.​

In subsequent looks, the styling becomes bolder—Jang appears in a cropped leather jacket with asymmetrical cutouts, while Kang dons a monochrome tracksuit with metallic accents. The hair is styled with texture and movement, and the makeup features subtle shimmer and bold brows, amplifying the editorial’s edgy undertones.
