Group CLOSE YOUR EYES has been selected as the sixth cover artist for Billboard Korea's 'Billboard Artist Magazine.'

Billboard Korea sequentially unveiled the cover images of CLOSE YOUR EYES through its official SNS on the 7th and 8th. In the group pictorial, the members captured various moments of youth against the backdrop of the sea and a campus. The scene of them walking along the beach was styled in white tones, reminiscent of a scene from a youth film, while their appearance gazing into the camera in school uniforms highlighted a clear, free energy and fresh innocence.

In the individual pictorials, each member's unique personality was highlighted. Photos taken in blue forests, by lakes, and under sunlight exuded different atmospheres such as freshness, boyish charm, and maturity, conveying a diverse range of appeals.

CLOSE YOUR EYES has been named as the sixth noteworthy artist in this magazine, following NewJeans, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, PLAVE, ATEEZ, and Charlie Puth.
