The Boyz's Juyeon starred as the digital cover model for the January 2026 issue of the fashion magazine GQ Korea. In the recently released photo shoot, he wore Balenciaga Football series outfits and showcased dynamic movements while throwing and catching a rugby ball.

Juyeon explained his role by comparing himself to a quarterback in American football. He said, "In American football, the quarterback is the position that throws the ball accurately. You have to send the ball anticipating where the players will land. It's similar to the role of a pitcher in baseball," emphasizing the charm and fun of being a quarterback.

When asked what kind of person he wants to be in the new year, Juyeon replied, "I want to be someone who fits naturally." He expressed his belief in pursuing natural change and growth, saying, "There is a stereotype that idols should be pure and that The Boyz should have boyish charm and wear school uniforms, but I think it's important to find a look that suits my age of twenty-nine and my current situation."

Despite the cold midwinter weather, Juyeon was actively moving on set dressed in a tracksuit and loose shirt, proving his professionalism as he left the shoot with a smile after removing his makeup. His firm footing and flexible hand movements while passing the ball seemed to show that he is already excellently fulfilling the role of a quarterback.

This photo shoot and interview can be found in the January 2026 issue of GQ Korea and on its website. In this shoot, which was done with fashion editor Park Nana and feature editor Kim Eunhee, Juyeon fully captured his unique charm.
