Kpop X Fashion

A decade after debuting on Seoul's own coordinates, NCT 127 traded concrete for coastline — and DAZED Korea's July 2026 issue captures exactly what that shift means. The Longitude They Never Left Every NCT 127 era starts with a number. 127 degrees East is Seoul's longitude, and it has been the group's name, their compass, and their whole reason for being since they debuted on July 7, 2016, a date chosen because its digits double the luckiest number on the calendar. Ten years later, DAZED Korea sent them somewhere else entirely: Jumeirah Bali, a resort island resting a few degrees

Rosé’s latest Vogue Korea x YSL cover reads like a mood board for the modern K-pop era: elegant, slightly dangerous, and impossible to ignore. It captures the same magnetic push-and-pull that has made her one of pop’s most compelling figures, balancing vulnerability, precision, and pure star power. The face of a new era BLACKPINK’s rise has always been bigger than a comeback cycle. Since debuting in 2016, the group has turned performance, branding, and visual identity into a global language, with each member shaping a distinct lane inside a shared universe. Rosé’s lane is the most ethereal of the four,

ENHYPEN's Jungwon and Ni-Ki front Esquire Korea's most luxurious cover of the year — and prove that the new generation wears Cartier like it was always theirs. Some luxury that doesn't announce itself — it simply settles into the room and waits to be recognised. That's the energy Esquire Korea and Cartier were chasing when they handed the July 2026 cover to Yang Jungwon and Nishimura Riki. They didn't chase the obvious. They chose the leader and the maknae of ENHYPEN: two young men who, between them, hold the emotional architecture of one of the most devoted fandoms in fourth-generation

Before tonight's stadium sell-out, Thailand's quietly revolutionary pop star glows at the OWNDAYS OWN "your" DAYS pop-up — and reminds us why her moment is only just beginning. Frames, Flowers, and a Fandom That Flew In Early She walked into Plaza Singapura's Main Atrium like she already knew the room would rearrange itself around her. Minnie — born Nicha Yontararak in Bangkok, known to Neverland as the Thai voice that makes stadiums stop breathing — arrived in Singapore days before the rest of the world caught up. The occasion: the launch of OWNDAYS' OWN "your" DAYS pop-up, the Japanese eyewear brand's most immersive

Five members. One name. An entirely new altitude. How ZEROBASEONE rewrote the rules of reinvention and made the climb look effortless They were born from a survival show with a built-in expiration date. What they built instead was a legacy — and right now, in June 2026, five young men are still standing, still ascending, and still redefining what it means to be a K-pop group in the fifth generation. The Beginning of Everything On July 10, 2023, nine young men stepped onto a stage and introduced themselves to the world as ZEROBASEONE. They carried a name that meant something

The Pirates Have Landed in the Future There's a moment, right before the shutter clicks, when ATEEZ stops being eight performers and becomes something closer to a frequency. That's the energy captured across the gatefold cover of @Style Magazine's July 2026 ASEA Special Edition — a pictorial that doesn't just document a group, it documents a movement still mid-flight. From the moment HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO debuted in 2018 with a pirate-ship mythology built for the long haul, ATEEZ made one thing clear: they weren't here to follow a map. They were drawing their own.

The Floor Is Theirs There's a moment — right at the cusp of a new era — when a group stops performing for the world and starts commanding it. For RIIZE, that moment is now. Three years in. Three consecutive million-sellers. A world tour that stretched from Seoul to São Paulo, from Tokyo Dome to Lollapalooza South America. And now, June 15, 2026: the six-piece SM Entertainment powerhouse drops their second mini-album, II, led by the irresistible, floor-shaking anthem "Do Your Dance." The title isn't a suggestion. It's a declaration. "Three years. Three million-sellers. One invitation: the floor is open."

With their 14th mini album dropping June 26 and a black-and-red visual era that rewrites what dangerous beauty looks like in K-pop, ATEEZ aren't just having a moment — they're building a mythology. There's a specific kind of silence that falls over a fandom when the first concept photos drop. Not the screaming kind — the held-breath kind. The kind that says: okay. They've done it again. That silence swept across ATINYs worldwide in late May 2026 when ATEEZ unveiled the first teaser visuals for GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5. Eight men. Severe black suits. Coils of red energy cutting through an urban
