NICHOLAS of the group &TEAM has shaken the hearts of global fans by showcasing the epitome of "dark sexy." Effortlessly pulling off even a rugged scarred-face makeup look, NICHOLAS completed a narrative reminiscent of an action movie with just a single photo, exuding an unrivaled aura.

In the released photo, NICHOLAS is seen sitting on the ground wearing an all-black outfit with a distinct, raw texture, staring off into the distance. In particular, the scars added across his face and the blood-stained effect on his lips blend with his sharp and intense image, creating an even more profound atmosphere.

NICHOLAS’s sharp nose and chiseled jawline shone even against the dark background, proving his status as the group’s "visual center." Furthermore, the unique gloves and accessories he wore, combined with his caption "Ignition Complete," provided a sense of tension as if hinting at a new universe or the start of a performance.

Upon the photo's release, global fans flooded the post with enthusiastic reactions in various languages. Fans left supportive comments such as, "Beauty that cannot be hidden even under scars," "NICHOLAS's dark vibe is one of a kind," and "I'm so curious about what has been ignited; looking forward to the next promotion."

&TEAM, the group NICHOLAS belongs to, is capturing both the K-POP and J-POP markets with their solid performances and global sensibilities. While each member has a distinct personality, NICHOLAS plays a pivotal role as the team's pillar with his sensible fashion sense and overwhelming stage presence.
