Suho’s upcoming feature in DAZED Korea’s November 2025 issue has been previewed and showcases his evolving status not only as a K-pop icon but also as a leading figure in fashion and style. The pictorial highlights Suho’s signature blend of sophistication and understated charisma, capturing his multifaceted persona through carefully curated styling and mood.

The shoot leans into a refined yet approachable aesthetic, reflecting both Suho’s maturity as EXO’s leader and his individual artistry. Across the series, Suho’s fashion choices range from sleek, tailored ensembles to more casual, artistic looks, emphasizing texture and silhouette. Key pieces include sharply cut blazers paired with minimalist sweaters, coordinating monochrome layers, and subtle statement accessories that bring an edge to the overall look. This contrast between classic and contemporary styles showcases Suho’s versatile fashion sense.

Styling in the shoot is complemented by impeccable hair and makeup details. In one notable look, Suho sports a naturally tousled hairstyle with slight waves, creating a relaxed yet polished effect that softens his strong features. The makeup focuses on a natural, dewy complexion with subtle contouring that enhances his jawline and cheekbones, paired with neutral-toned eyeshadows and a hint of soft pink that brings warmth to his appearance. Another look presents a more refined, slicked-back hairstyle, accompanied by a matte finish on the skin and minimalistic eyeliner that adds definition without overpowering his natural charm. The lips remain understated with muted shades, maintaining a balanced and elegant look throughout.

“When I am working alone, I’m completely responsible for everything. I can’t lean on someone or share the responsibility, so I will always answer questions and work harder. On the other hand, when I’m active as an EXO, I feel much more comfortable because I constantly exchange opinions with the members and share the responsibilities together. Of course, there are worries as a leader, but the weight also means that we rely on each other

“I always get inspiration from what I saw and felt. You can express love by imagination, but when you actually eat cheese, when you see how it grows and cut off, it reminds me of the thought of ‘Isn’t the relationship like this’? I’m going to write lyrics as if I’m recording what I felt in every moment of my life”

Though the pictorial itself does not disclose extensive backstory details, it clearly captures Suho at a moment of artistic introspection and poised confidence, coinciding with his recent solo musical projects that explore themes of identity and growth. DAZED Korea’s creative direction for this issue seems to celebrate both the intimate and expansive facets of Suho’s persona, weaving a narrative of a star evolving beyond typical idol aesthetics into a sophisticated cultural icon.

This November feature promises to deepen fans’ appreciation not only for Suho’s artistic journey but also his influence as a fashion icon in K-pop, blending artistry, elegance, and approachability into one compelling visual story.
