As Loic Prigent filmed behind-the-scenes moments of Peter Do’s New York Fashion Week preparations, they asked the designer if he felt close to Jeno in some way. Peter Do answered, “I admire how much work and dedication the artist puts into his craft.

Peter Do pointed out how much effort K-Pop artists and fashion designers put into their work, making it look easy on the surface.

No one knows how much work it takes, and I relate to that. I feel like there are some similarities between us and them.
