Xiumin was chosen as the cover model for the January issue of Allure Korea lifestyle magazine and he took photos under the "attractive comeback" concept. Although the photoshoot took place right after his discharge, he still showed his professionalism through the use of props such as flowers and hats. The male singer's eyes and posture exuded charm.
In the interview after the photo shoot, Xiumin said: "Now, when I start working, I feel like I have really been discharged from the army. I couldn't sleep because I was so looking forward to this photo shoot."
When asked what fans mean to him during his military service, he replied: Its a relief to know that someone is waiting for him. At the same time, I feel that I have a responsibility to repay my fans. I will work hard from now on.
He later shared his feelings for EXO: EXO is a group made not only by members, but also by managers, staff and fans. In this aspect, I am proud of my group. As long as I'm with the EXO members, I think I can do anything."
Xiumin's interview and many other photos can be found in Allure magazine No. 1. The interview video will be released via Allure's YouTube and SNS channels.
