Having a High Artistic Soul, 6 K-Pop Idols Draw Their Own Album Covers

Kapanlagi.com - It's not new for K-Pop idols to be known for their talent not only in music, but also in other fields. This is because before their debut, they go through a series of rigorous trainee periods.

Aside from dancing, producing music, writing songs, acting, and of course singing, some K-Pop idols have hidden talents in the field of art. Interestingly, they don't keep these talents to themselves, but channel them to maximize their careers as K-Pop idols.

One of these artistic talents is drawing. With their exceptional talent and high artistic soul, the following K-Pop idols even draw their own album covers.

In 2019, Jackson Wang released his debut studio album, Mirror. This former member of GOT7 caught attention by revealing that the album cover was his own artwork.

Although it may seem simple, the design is full of meaning. The illustration is known to refer to a bagua mirror, which is an eight-sided mirror used in Chinese culture as a talisman to ward off negative energy.

2. Hyunjin Stray Kids

Hyunjin of Stray Kids received a warm welcome from fans as he finally rejoined the group for their latest comeback. However, fans still remember the digital single cover of Stray Kids, Mixtape: OH.

The album cover with a lollipop image is believed by fans to be Hyunjin's artwork. This belief is not unfounded, considering that Hyunjin had also shared two lollipop drawings on an artist platform under JYP Entertainment, Bubble.

Next up is Jiyoon Weekly who has a high artistic spirit. This K-Pop idol drew the cover of Weekly's latest album, WE PLAY. The artwork comes in two color variations, featuring various cute objects with bright colors. There are burgers, roller skates, and even cats in space.

To create this artwork, Jiyoon revealed that it took a full week. Despite that, she is very happy with the end result. Especially since it was chosen as Weekly's album cover.

The last but not least, there's Miya GWSN whose drawings truly resemble those of a professional graphic designer. The key-shaped illustration for GWSN's album cover, The Keys, is truly Miya's creation.

Seeing this artwork, fans agree that Miya has artistic blood flowing within her. This type of illustration is considered complex, and only people with exceptional skills and hidden talents can create it.

So, those are some K-Pop idols with such a high artistic spirit within them. Thanks to their potential, they can channel their creativity to create their own album covers without having to hire professional artists or graphic designers.
