On the 20th, Cosmopolitan released a pictorial of Stray Kids' Hyunjin-Felix, the new face of the new era that decorated the cover of the January issue.
In 2022, Stray Kids wrote a new history in K-pop by recording the most views of a music video with 300 million views, sales of a single album exceeding 3 million copies, and topping the Billboard 200 chart twice with two albums in one year. When asked if he felt the rapid growth, Hyunjin said, "To be precise, I feel 'we have the possibility to go up' rather than 'going up'. The team atmosphere is no different from when we debuted, and our goal of showing our music to more people has not been broken. I think our potential is being recognized more than we are now.” “Everyone has the same mind,” said Felix. “As time goes on, the desire to grow grows stronger. I will become a more professional artist.”
We asked the two boys, who were growing steadily, what they thought was cool. Hyunjin said, “A person who knows what I like, knows what makes me happy, and knows me well is cool.” Felix said, “Right now, we are preparing for the year-end stage. I felt something while practicing. I think it's really cool to show one's own place and position in one's own color."
What is their wish now? Hyunjin said, “I don’t only focus on climbing high, I try to look for happiness around me by looking at a wide field of view. But what is happiness?” When asked again, Felix laughed, “I know what happiness is.” “Being on stage with the members, going through schedules, making each other laugh and protecting each other is happiness to me. It is fortunate that there are colleagues who can grow with the same dream.”
Stray Kids' music video for the title song 'New Menu' of their 1st regular album 'GO Live', released in June 2020, has exceeded 300 million views, and the 7th mini album 'MAXIDENT' has accumulated 3 million single album sales Breakthrough, 2 albums during the year ranked # 1 on the Billboard 200 chart twice, and their popularity continues to rise.
The January issue of 'Cosmopolitan', covered by Stray Kids' Hyunjin and Felix, will be available for purchase at bookstores nationwide from January 22, 2022.
