Fashion Week is the ultimate platform for designers to showcase their new collections. Playing a vital role in telling these stories are the models who walk their runways.
In Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2026 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, K-pop enthusiasts noticed a familiar face who graced the show.
Choi Yeonjun of boy group Tomorrow x Together (TXT) is no stranger to the Italian fashion house, having attended its Spring/Summer 2026 show as a guest, as well as its boutique opening at The Hyundai Seoul.
This time, however, he attended the recent show not as a guest, but as a model. Yeonjun officially became the first K-pop idol to walk for the Italian fashion house.
Who Is Choi Yeonjun? 5 Things About the K-Pop Idol
He is 26 years old.
Yeonjun was born on September 13, 1999. At 26 years old, he is the oldest member of his K-pop group.
He debuted as a K-pop idol in 2019.
Apart from Yeonjun, TXT is composed of Choi Soobin, Choi Beomgyu, Kang Taheyun, and Heuningkai. They were the next boy group in music label BigHit Music to debut after BTS. Since their debut in 2019, they have been carving their own path in the industry, with many of their albums selling more than a million copies.
Before debuting, Yeonjun was already known in the company as a “legendary trainee” for consistently ranking first during monthly evaluations.
He has a collaboration with KATSEYE’s Daniela Avanzini.
Yeonjun continues to be an active member of TXT, but he also pursues his own music. He made his solo debut in 2025 with his album called No Labels: Part 01. “Let Me Tell You” is the only track with a feature, and it’s with Daniela Avanzini of KATSEYE.
He was an ambassador of Dior.
Dior further cemented their bond with TXT when they announced the group as new ambassadors back in 2023. That year, they headlined the Lollapalooza festival in custom stage looks designed by Dior’s then-Artistic Director for menswear, Kim Jones.
Currently, he is the face of numerous brands in and beyond fashion, serving as an ambassador of Benefit Cosmetics Korea, UGG, and Moncler, to name a few.
He made his Fashion Week debut in 2021.
While he is the first K-pop idol to walk for Miu Miu, it wasn't actually his first time strutting down the runway. He made his runway debut at New York Fashion Week for the 2021 Fall/Winter collection of UL:KIN, a sustainable brand based in Korea.
Apart from modeling, Yeonjun also expressed his creativity and interest in fashion by collaborating with them on the designs.
