The group &TEAM showcased their refreshing charm.
&TEAM has become the cover stars of "D'ICON" issue 28. Set against the backdrop of Kamakura beach in Tokyo during the season of awaiting spring, the shoot captures the most vibrant day of &TEAM's youth.
This edition spans a total of 200 pages and comes in two versions (A, B), documented by photographer Bang Kyu-hyung and film director Jo Jun-gu.
Version A, titled 'Forever and Ever', captures the youth of &TEAM by the refreshing sea. It includes photo cards, a moment pack, and a mobile acrylic keyring. The back of the photo cards (4 individual, 2 unit) features drawings by the members, and the mobile acrylic keyring is engraved with the members' illustrations. The moment pack consists of 10 pieces, including film photos and selfies of the members against the Kamakura beach, as well as messages to their fans, known as LUNÉ.
Version B, titled 'Real and Rare', melts into a cozy and more intimate vibe. It offers photo cards, a bear-shaped sliding keyring, and an &TMI book. The photo cards (4 individual, 2 unit) for this version include the members' signatures on the back. The sliding keyring comes with cute ID photos (4 pieces) as a gift. The &TMI book features members' answers to 20 common questions, highlighting each member's unique personality and adding fun to the comparison.
The journey of &TEAM's growth was also revisited. It includes a Q&A with heartfelt stories from the members, behind-the-scenes moments, and insights into the real charm of &TEAM as described by the staff who have worked with them for two years.
&TEAM also shared their definition of youth. NICHOLAS said, "It's a time to try everything you want and live without regrets. If you're still dreaming, that in itself is youth."
What's more, the group's diversity makes them special. EJ commented, "From our personalities to our tastes, we're all different. But it's these differences that enrich the team's charm. Being together allows us to do so much more."
"D'ICON" will start taking pre-orders from 2 PM on the 12th. It can be reserved through D'ICON Mall, Department (the official Japanese store), Weverse Shop, KakaoTalk Gift, Yes24, Aladin, Internet Kyobo Bookstore, and Ktown4u.
