TXT’s Taehyun Blows Fans And Non-Fans Away With His Visuals In ELLE Pictorial Photos
For the December issue of ELLE magazine, TXT‘s Taehyun was chosen for a cozy, winter-themed pictorial that has fans and non-fans swerving into his lane.
This is the TXT member’s first time having a solo magazine feature without other members of his group, making him the fourth of the five to have such an opportunity (with only Beomgyu left to join them).
Styled in warm, soft-looking sweaters and with perfectly tousled muted-pink hair, Taehyun’s visuals really shine in both the photos as well as the interview that was given alongside them.

The photos from the pictorial were shared on an online Korean forum titled “TXT’s Taehyun released his pictorial, this is seriously my favorite so far”. The caption from the author reads, “I like his pink hair even more ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This crisp warmth… What is this…”.
