Do Hanse and Heo Chan of VICTON are about to debut as runway models!
On October 20, the boy group's agency Play M Entertainment announced that the two VICTON members are chosen as the models for a high-end brand called ul:kin at the Seoul Fashion Week that will take place on October 21. Known for its aspect of a multi-layered pairing of various types of clothing, ul:kin is one of the most awaited brands in every fashion week.
The preparation for the event was recorded and uploaded on VICTON's official YouTube account on October 15. In the video, VICTON's Chan and Hanse were rehearsing for the show in which they practice their runway walks and pose for the cameras. At the beginning of the clip, Chan mentioned that ul:kin was the one who invited them to be the models for their outfits and expressed gratitude.
Chan continued, "This is our first fashion week and runway, so we will give it our best and do an awesome job!" In the next cut, Hanse shared, "I have never walked on a runway before. I think it's going to be fun." The two VICTON members then closely watched how their instructor walks before taking their lesson.
The next part of the video shows Hanse and Chan wearing ul:kin's clothes, which they find comfortable and fit their style. Chan was the first model to walk the runway that day. He stated, "As soon as the show begins, I have to walk out first among all of these models. This is too much pressure on me. I have been dancing and singing on stage as an artist, but this looks like a big thing for me. But, I will try my best." "ALICE, wish me good luck," he added. ALICE, or short for ALways we Love the voICE, is the official fan club name of VICTON.
After Chan walked off the runway, he was asked about how he felt being the first model. He answered, "This has been such a great opportunity to be invited as models for this show."
He continued, "I'm so grateful to the staff for telling me I have done much better than they expected. This is not what I am usually up for, so I was really nervous but I hope ALICE would all take a look. It was such a great experience. I am up for new challenges in the future. Thank you so much, guys! I was so nervous!"
Hanse came next to walk the runway. At the end of the video, he said, "We had this great opportunity to be models for ul:kin's 2021 S/S show at Seoul Fashion Week. It was an extraordinary experience for both of us. The runway was very different from our usual stage performance.
He went on saying, "I have learned a lot of things. Overall, it was very new to me. I would like to come back and enjoy this again if I get another chance like this. Thank you so much for inviting us to the ul:kin show. Please send lots of love to ul:kin and VICTON. Thank you."
Chan is the main dancer of VICTON, while Hanse is the main rapper. The K-Pop boy group debuted on November 9, 2016, with the extended play "Voice to New World" featuring the title track "I'm Fine."
