TWICE Nayeon revealed that she is trying to reduce disposables.

Nayeon conducted an interview with the fashion magazine Elle for the September issue.

The photo shoot captured Nayeon's healthy image and skin, as well as a pleasant encounter with a beauty brand that aims for a healthy and sustainable life. As it was a shoot with the Blue Beauty brand, which is trying to make positive changes to the earth and the sea, Nayeon also showed interest in the environment and practice in an interview after the pictorial.

Nayeon said, "I try to reduce the use of disposable products. Sometimes when ordering food for delivery, I try to choose a place that uses recyclable paper containers as much as possible.” She also said that he felt the importance of comfort and rest from nature after completing the 'Alcohol-Free' activity.

Nayeon, who showed off her shiny skin throughout the shoot, said, “I enjoy skin care. When I find a good product, I get excited and work hard to recommend it to the members. When I feel that my skin condition is a little bad, I only apply the cream a few times,” he shared skincare tips.

When asked about the joy of visually conveying music as it is showing various concepts, he said, “It is very fun and motivating. As I have tried so many different things since my debut, I feel the importance of new ideas more and more. I am having fun thinking about it with the members.”

Nayeon's pictorial interview and video can be viewed in the September issue of Elle, her website, and Elle's YouTube.

Singer Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung Jun), who has been banned from entering South Korea for over two decades, continues to express his love for the country and his desire to return.

On March 21, Yoo Seung Jun posted a video on his personal account along with a cryptic caption, saying, “When one door closes, another opens. When one door opens, another closes.”

He continued, “Just because a door has opened doesn’t mean I should leave, and just because one is closed doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to open it. I am simply walking the path my father told me to take. Whether people acknowledge it or not no longer matters to me.”

His hashtags also caught attention, as he included “I love you,” “Bless you,” “South Korea,” “Loved ones,” “Everything will be okay,” and “Korea.” Fans couldn’t help but wonder if he was once again hinting at his hope to return.

Just a few days earlier, on March 18, Yoo Seung Jun had also posted a nostalgic message about his time in South Korea.

He wrote, “December 7, 1989—13 years old (1st year of middle school). The school I attended until the day before I immigrated to the U.S. in Songpa-gu, Oju Middle School, is still the same.”

Along with his message, he shared a video of the school's walls and playground, revealing, “One of my fans filmed my middle school, which I attended until I left for the U.S., and sent me the video.”

The clip also showed scenes of his elementary school, making fans reminisce about his past in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun was one of the most popular artists in South Korea during the 1990s, but his career took a sharp turn in 2002 when he unexpectedly left for the U.S., renounced his Korean citizenship, and became a U.S. citizen.

This led to widespread backlash, as many saw it as an attempt to evade mandatory military service. As a result, the South Korean government banned him from entering the country.

Since then, he has repeatedly taken legal action in hopes of lifting the ban. Now, with his continued efforts and heartfelt messages about Korea, many are wondering—will he finally be allowed back after 23 years?
