The group CLOSE YOUR EYES (Jeon Min-wook, Ma Jin-siang, Jang Yeo-jun, Kim Sung-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin, Seo Kyung-bae) shared their thoughts ahead of their debut through their first magazine pictorial.



Fashion and lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan released a pictorial and interview with CLOSE YOUR EYES on the 23rd.

The released pictorial captured the hearts of global fans as it contained casual styling that highlighted each member's individuality along with bright smiles on the faces of CLOSE YOUR EYES. The members showed off their individual visuals with relaxed expressions and natural poses that made it hard to believe it was their first magazine pictorial, announcing the birth of the next-generation 'pictorial craftsmen'.



Jeon Min-wook said about their first pictorial shoot, "When we were filming 'Project 7', we were all covered in sweat from practicing, but now that we're all dressed up and standing in front of the camera, it feels unfamiliar. "I realized anew that there were so many good-looking guys on our team," he said with a smile.



Close Your Eyes performed "Time After Time" for the first time at the "39th Golden Disk Awards." Seo Kyung-bae said, "I was overwhelmed with emotion standing on the stage of the 'Golden Disk' awards ceremony that I had only seen on TV. I was really happy that I was able to stand on the same stage with the current top idol seniors."



Ma Jinxiang, who placed first in the finals of "Project 7," also expressed his joy, saying, "I was proud that we were able to finish the stage more perfectly than when we practiced. It was a really precious stage because we were able to leave a mark on not only the public but also our fellow idol seniors."



When asked what appearing on "Project 7" meant to each of them in their lives, Jang Yeo-jun said, "It was a reckless challenge. I received offers from almost all the audition programs that were scheduled to air, but I didn't get a call from 'Project 7', so I auditioned separately. It was a bit reckless, but in the end, it became fate," he said, revealing the story behind his appearance.



About the moment his name was made into the final debut group, Kenshin said with a laugh, "I was really happy that I could debut with these people. I was excited just thinking about standing on stage with them. And I'm sorry for talking so long about my feelings on air." In fact, Kenshin talked about his feelings about his debut for about an hour on the final live broadcast.



Kim Sungmin, who joined the group in 7th place, said, "The moment my name was called, my heart felt like it was going to burst. My family came from far away to watch the live broadcast, so the first thing I thought was that it was fortunate. I would like to express my gratitude to World Assembler for putting together these seven members so well," he said, expressing his feelings about their debut. When asked



about an activity he would like to do if he succeeds as an idol, Song Seung Ho showed his overflowing passion by saying, "I want to hold a 'Close Your Eyes' solo concert and fill the halls." Jeon Min Wook expressed his aspirations by saying, "We are planning to officially debut in April, and by the end of the year, I hope 'Close Your Eyes' will definitely win the Rookie of the Year award."



More pictorials and interviews containing the various charms of Close Your Eyes can be found in the February issue of Cosmopolitan and on the website.



Close Your Eyes is a group formed through the JTBC audition program 'Project 7'. The team name contains the meaning that they will present music that is convincing even when you close your eyes and listen to it, as well as performances that are visible, and that they will continue to strengthen themselves as idols that everyone imagines every time they close their eyes and open them.
