Similarly, he also recounted his first ever runway experience for Louis Vuitton. The luxury brand tapped him due to his unique ability to embody androgynous clothing.
I have been continuing to work as an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, and it’s unique that as a male ambassador, I can pull off women’s clothing in a unisex visual style.
Louis Vuitton contacted me with hopes that I could make it and I made my runway debut there for the first time.

He participated in Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collection on March 5, 2024.
It was an overwhelming experience. He was required to wear high heels and walk alongside professional models, worrying him doubly.
It was so new, all the women were so tall. I thought, ‘What do I do?’ I had to wear high heels and walk. I was like, ‘This is so hard, what should I do?’

Thankfully, popular model and actress Jung Ho Yeon helped calm him down right before the show. She gave him pieces of advice that he took to heart, calming him down.
Jung Ho Yeon-sunbaenim was right there. She said, ‘Don’t worry, you don’t need to be nervous. We just have to match each other’s walking speed for the finale.‘ She told me a lot of tips so I was touched
