We’re certainly being treated well, aren’t we? Spoiler alert: if you flip through the latest issue of Singles Korea, you just might find my face staring back at you. With this being said, I’m thrilled to share that I made my debut in the magazine!
It’s a no wonder that I’m beginning to miss the cold season— The crisp air, the quiet of a snow-covered landscape, and the cozy warmth of a fire seem to be calling to me more and more each day.
Now that we’re approaching second half of the year, I’m starting to miss becoming an awardee of an award show. Not a hint of a demand, I do hope to have the opportunity to be involved in one again soon.
Is this what the kids these days refer to as “sunkissed”? While I’m not particularly fond of taking self-portraits, I have to admit that it seems like this effect has definitely made me look better in pictures.
A few weeks passed and my fingers have been itchy to show pictures from Marie Claire Korea photoshoot recently. Here, I present to you tiny crumbs from it—
Never imagined that an empty sidewalk would become the perfect backdrop for my photos, especially while just wearing a simple, plain t-shirt and flaunting my YSL bag. And no, this isn’t a sponsored post— it’s just a candid moment. Heh.
Not too recent yet not too distant, I was the face of the Spring 2024 eyewear campaign by Calvin Klein. This experience was special as the photoshoot took place on the vibrant streets of New York City, allowing me to truly enjoy the city’s unique atmosphere.
역사를 만들고 있지만, 특별한 것은 아니다; Nothing fancy, but remarkable enough as I left a trace of collaboration with LOFFICIELHOMMES_KR. The photoshoot was fun, worth the time as my pictures turn out stunning.
One of the most significant projects that has profoundly touched my heart was my collaboration with Clinique. It’s as if the question of how I achieved clear, radiant skin has been beautifully answered through this? 😁

Breaking news: I wore lenses for the first time on this day. All for the upcoming photoshoot, which everyone will see later. Now how do you do it? How does everyone calmly put it on more than once a day, because I kind of got nervous.
Opting to be outside is a refreshing escape I look forward to amid a busy schedule, there’s no such need for fancy clothes; simple outfits are my preference.
I never could have imagined appearing in public as the Pichaesso Min. 🧑🎨 Well, a persona that is so distinct from what I had ever imagined for myself, though it was merely for a short time.
A long way back before becoming a trainee was a thing to Nik, he had nowhere to showcase his hidden talents until he decided to show it to.. strangers online. How he wished people who screen-recorded would delete them, but unfortunately they still leave a trace on the Internet.
It’s Friyay! I’ve had some extra free time lately, which has been awesome. Caught myself enjoying getting outside with a few friends and sipping on my favourite drink. Hoping anyone who catches a glimpse of these pictures does enjoy their weekends too.
Had the privilege of attending an MLB event in Singapore as their new ambassador, and it was an unforgettable experience indeed. Until next time, good people! 🇸🇬
Hi? I’m still breathing and well on the other side of the world (too much exaggeration), but it’s really just a matter of being in a different country. 🦁
An evening spent with Chaemin, accompanied by a warm cup of coffee (I prefer cold), sounds like a delightful and enjoyable way to unwind, don’t you think?
Perfectly, almost, at least, captures the “flower boy” style highlighted in this month’s Marie Claire issue, showcasing a fresh and stylish look that defines the current summer trend.
I apologise if the content you keep seeing from me consists only of my gym activities; well, it’s a productive way to start the day? Good morning, Chaem-tuals.
The picture might suggest that I’m deeply immersed in thought, contemplating my next move. In reality, I am indeed considering my plans for meeting my fans this September in Singapore. 🇸🇬
August is approaching, bringing with it my appearance in Marie Claire Korea’s August issue. I’m excited for its release, and I’m sure I’m not alone, given that their official page has already shared these pictures to pique everyone’s curiosity.
No one actually knows about this but I,
#LuckyNik
actually met
#LuckyZion
at a f*rry convention before. Since we’re parting ways soon I just thought we could have a very early birthday party for me. 🥳 Anyone’s interested could still sign up, by the way.

Officiating the MLBS store in Singapore was truly one of the most unexpected surprises of my life, one I never anticipated but wholeheartedly embraced.

might have missed the gathering tonight with the agency but he didn’t miss having fun with

in our room. Was planning to do a dance battle but we both did a silly collab instead. 🕺
A glimpse of me in W Korea goes beyond just photos— I revealed many personal secrets, including my journey to becoming an actor, MC, and the moments that marked my breakthrough.

It’s not just about me personally, but the entire situation: having my face featured in a well-known magazine is a tremendous honor and a dream come true.

as soon as we finished our morning gym session to the city and had a meal together. 🍱 It was actually fun catching up with the other trainee outside. His free photographer and the meal today is on

To calm my nerves before the debut announcement, I'm hitting the gym today! And guess who I ran into this morning? It's the gym king,
#LuckyNik
! 🏋🏻♂️We ended up doing a few work out sets together and have light talks.

Never thought I would meet another trainee,
#LuckyMJ
here, I’m glad I dressed up nicely and behaved.. anyway we took a selfie together too but please don’t tell her
#LuckyNik
forgot to turn off the filter he had..
#LuckyMJ
being invited to the relative’s wedding and guess who I bumped into? Yes, turns out
#LuckyNik
is also the couple’s relatives and we accidentally wore the similar outfits! Look at us doing the same poses 🕴🏻
His experience on the survival show wasn’t without its difficulties, though. His struggles with dance and choreography ultimately resulted in his placement in the lowest “Grade F” category, despite his remarkable voice ability. The reason:
@TheTimeIess
Hi, timers. If anyone would like to travel to a place together with me, perhaps we could share the same hobbies or even the different ones as I’m open to try new things as well. ⭐️
@fo_reveryoung10
It does, but it does ruin the calming effect in you too! I think iced coffee is the right one for you to enjoy… it shall be refreshing with its bitter taste-
It must be delightful to have companions while attending one of the most famous variety shows of all time. My Hierarchy team made this experience possible for me, and of course massive thanks to Knowing Bros’ crews.
#LuckyNik
had a short ice cream treat for myself after hours spent in the company’s gym. I think it’s true that ice cream during the summer feels a little different.
Not to forget these two, Karl and Mabellia, in the team. Based on my observations, they can do anything, and I was almost envious of their versatility as all-rounders. Their ability to excel in various aspects truly enhances the group’s dynamic, I bet.
#LuckyNik
recruited a new frry to the team, welcome
#LuckyEliam
! As a frry sunbae, I had to teach my hoobae how to jump and crawl. Please tell Eliam he did well. 🫴🏻
Nik Eleander, a freelancer from New Jersey, was always on the move. His days were packed with baking, solving crosswords, gaming, and searching for the best coffee spots. Despite keeping himself busy, he often felt like something was missing.
I have… too much time on my hands today, decided to spend it on my phone rather than being productive. Any Chaemin-tuals care to share a thought, random or not, or even suggestions/recommendations here?

I have completed our starter task, or more like an activity. Send over a hug…e amount of money to unlock my profile. Jk, drop any kind of trace below and let’s be friends.

Disregard fancy attire and dramatic poses. I’m simply hoping to avoid appearing overly awkward in the photographs that Gold Medalist will publish on their page.

@hzhghao
Now that’s embarrassing to be at top of your for you page.. I didn’t expect I had to bring out my Nik the fake therapist persona once again, but he’s ready to report for duty if you need an ear to listen as well!
#LuckyNik
I had to stop since someone was in front of me here, hint: the picture. Yep,
#LuckyEliam
was here for only a few minutes until I lost him in this gym… the picture taken was the last time I saw him. Anyone care to volunteer replacing him as my today’s companion? 😞
@aeridessuka
Right, but I don’t do espresso heh. I’d love to tbh, I’m in need of finding new coffee in town. I read indie books before, but would love to try mystery or romance?
Damian, cracking eggs: 3/10! I would say 10 if he could crack THE REAL egg but nah bro didn’t mean it that egg... I was looking forward to see it but :// bro got hurt.
