Lee Jong Suk is gracing the cover of WWD Korea’s September issue, and fans can’t stop talking about his flawless autumn photoshoot.

The pictorial shows Lee Jong Suk’s calm yet powerful charm with tailored outfits, muted colors, and soft shadows that highlight his deep gaze. With every pose, he delivers his signature elegance and charisma that fans love.

In his interview, Lee Jong Suk got honest about how he sees acting these days. He admitted,
“Before, I used to think alone and try to find the answers by myself. But now, I learn through working with others. I honestly ask about what I lack and seek help when needed. Having the attitude to learn new things is what leads to growth.”

He also shared his view of maturity, saying, “It’s not just about age—it’s about trying to be someone predictable and maintaining relationships with sincerity.”

He explained that this mindset has given him peace of mind and positive influence from the people around him.

As advice to himself, he revealed a phrase he often leans on: “‘Endure, not yet.’ When things are hard, I comfort myself with those words, reminding myself to trust and keep going even through difficulties.”

On his upcoming project, Lee Jong Suk gave fans a small hint with excitement: “It’s a genre not often attempted in Korean dramas. At first it felt unfamiliar, but I joined simply because it was genuinely fun. If daily life feels calm and ordinary, this project is pure dopamine itself.”
