Stray Kids’ Felix captivated fans with his stunning visuals, gracing the cover of the May 2025 issue of men’s lifestyle magazine ‘Esquire.’ In the photos, Felix embodies a fairytale or fantasy-like mood, effortlessly pulling off outfits from the Louis Vuitton Women’s 2025 S/S collection with his own unique style.
Having walked the runway as a model for the Louis Vuitton 2025 F/W collection show in Paris earlier this year, he shared, “I’ve always enjoyed unisex styles, and I’m particularly interested in what new feelings I can create when wearing Louis Vuitton’s women’s line,” revealing his creative attitude and adventurous spirit. The accompanying interview offers a glimpse into other facets of his personality. Regarding his recent focus on charitable donations and volunteer work, he stated, “I’ve been interested in philanthropy since I was young,” but also added, “Now that I’m able to do work that receives so much love, I also feel that I need to give back as much love as I receive,” attributing the credit to his supportive fans.
He is currently the youngest member ever recorded in the UNICEF Honors Club. However, he spoke about the memories of the children he met during his volunteer work in Laos and the happiness those memories bring, expressing his desire to carefully assess where and what kind of help is needed rather than focusing on a specific title. The conversation also touched upon his musical endeavors. Having released ‘Unfair’ at the end of last year, a song he personally wrote and composed, he spoke about ‘the process of connecting with people through music.’ While the starting point is a personal creation, he explained that the most meaningful aspect after releasing a song is the reaction people have to it.
He revealed his genuine side, saying he is moved when reading comments and realizing, “We all live through different experiences, but we can still empathize and connect with each other,” expressing a heartfelt sentiment.
