As September draws near and the temperature begins to drop, signs of the coming autumn appear on the streets: fresh air and cold evenings, heavy scarves and leather gloves, the frayed edges of long coats brushing the ground. From Paris to Seoul, the world’s most stylish cities are prepared to add layers using key items from their fall 2025 collections.
As the season changes, the rookie K-pop girl group Queenz Eye is gaining momentum quickly, bringing a fresh vibe to the K-pop scene similar to the first breeze of autumn sweeping over the summer’s warmth. In early July, the group made a comeback as “Season 2,” marking a new chapter with two experienced original members, Won Chae and Ah Yoon, alongside four new members: Kiirii, Seo Vin, Jin Yul, and Seo Ha.
With their initial mini album, [Prism EP.01], launched during the height of summer, Queenz Eye enters the category of new groups making their debut in 2025 with enthusiasm and resolve. The group is set to make an impact on the music industry through their eye-catching appearance, impressive singing abilities, and vibrant energy.
After several weeks back in the spotlight, Queenz Eye is drawing inspiration from that energy and applying it to fashion. Their newest photoshoot brings the style of this season’s runways to life, based on the concept of “Neo-Classic Rebels”: six free-spirited individuals who blend traditional tailoring with a streetwear twist. In the images, the members transition smoothly between relaxed denim-and-black outfits and sophisticated runway ensembles from Korean designer brand Phenomenon Seeper’s fall 2025 Seoul Fashion Week collection. With ease, Queenz Eye embodies the rebellious yet elegant spirit of the fall 2025 season.
The “Neo-Classic Rebels” photo session created a sense of excitement and nervousness among Queenz Eye members, who were unfamiliar with such fashion shoots. The group’s founding member and rapper Ah Yoon expressed that her initial emotions before the shoot were marked by self-doubt.
I was very anxious and extremely tense. I’m a big fan of fashion magazine editorials, and I kept questioning whether I could perform well in such a photoshoot.” To Ah Yoon’s relief, her nervousness quickly faded once the camera began to click. “The photographer and crew helped us feel at ease, and we looked fantastic in the pictures,” she recalled. “Then I realized, ‘Oh, I’m having so much fun right now.’ We all had a wonderful time laughing together throughout the session.
New member Kiirii also acknowledges experiencing nervousness while mentally getting ready for the photoshoot. “I felt extremely anxious and I kept thinking about how to look good in the pictures in my mind.” However, once the session started, she discovered she was enjoying the act of posing in front of the camera.
“Even while shooting, I was considering various pose concepts and began to enjoy myself.” Now, Kiirii is already excited for the next chance to model like a supermodel. “[The photoshoot] turned out to be an enjoyable experience, and I can’t wait for our next one,” she mentioned.
The initial outfits—combinations of denim and black with a streetwear flair—had the members eager to try something fresh. New member Seo Vin’s first reaction to the looks for the photoshoot was that “they felt very distinctive and eye-catching.”
She was excited about the opportunity to experiment with styles the group had not yet ventured into. Jin Yul, another new member of the group, was amazed by how much she liked the daring and strong fashion choices, which were completely different from anything she had attempted before. “When I received the items for my first look, I couldn’t picture how it would turn out. But once I put it on, the outfit looked so adorable, and I fell in love,” she shared.
Witnessing the team dressed in unified fashion marked a significant moment for the members. “After completing the fitting and standing together fully dressed, I truly noticed the unique charm of each member. Even though everyone was wearing styles that were entirely new to us, each member managed it flawlessly in their own style, incorporating their personality and allure into the final look,” said Seo Vin.
For the standout moment of the photoshoot, the group wore runway outfits directly from Phenomenon Seeper’s fall 2025 Seoul Fashion Week collection. For Seo Vin, who watches every show from Seoul Fashion Week online, posing as a runway model was a challenging task. “When I watch models walking on the runway, I’m always amazed by how they make their outfits stand out and own each look. I wondered if I could do the same, so I was a little nervous.”
Her worries were alleviated when the members came out of the dressing room dressed in their outfits. “Everyone looked amazing in their styles, making it feel like I was watching an actual runway show. Each member has a very different and unique appearance, and I believe our charm complemented Phenomenon Seeper’s unique prints and graphics well. I felt really proud of ourselves.”
In the meantime, Won Chae, leader of Queenz Eye, has been a dedicated fan of Phenomenon Seeper for some time; she closely followed each new collection the brand introduced and is aware that the brand’s signature complex patterns and bold designs were originally derived from real photographs. “I always believed that these details made Phenomenon Seeper items feel especially unique and elegant,” she mentioned.
Of course, Won Chae was thrilled to learn that they would be wearing the brand’s items in this photoshoot and was pleased with how the members appeared in the clothing. “I believe each of us has a unique set of facial features and styles, and we can display every aspect from cute to powerful! I think the Phenomenon Seeper outfits helped highlight our youthful and stylish energy, and everyone’s looks and poses in the pictures turned out confident and self-assured, just like models on a runway. I was really excited to share the photos with everyone!”
Accessories from SYLK provided the ideal final touch. Won Chae’s second outfit, which included a tailored skirt worn as a top and matched with a wing-shaped earring, quickly became one of her most cherished looks. She appreciated how the combination was “unexpected yet unique,” and the earring especially “revealed a new aspect” of her personality. “I believe fans will really enjoy seeing this look as well!” she mentioned.
Jin Yul was deeply impressed by the combination of a shiny statement earring on one ear paired with her printed hoodie. “The detailed designs of the jacket and the distinctive accessory made me think of the galaxy,” she mentioned.
Queenz Eye’s enthusiastic approach to embracing daring runway styles, driven by a spirit of happiness and inquisitiveness, suggests a promising ability to personalize current trends and ultimately inspire new ones.
Behind the camera, the members’ chemistry was just as powerful as their fashion sense. The set was filled with an energetic blend of disorder and teamwork. New member and the youngest in the group, Seo Ha, has cherished recollections of some of the more hectic moments off-camera: “The shoot lasted for ages, and we were all extremely hungry. We would wait for brief pauses between shots and then say ‘Now or never!’ and rush to grab a quick meal. That scenario was so humorously ironic, it’s the most unforgettable part of the shoot for me.”
At a certain moment during the filming, Kiirii felt discomfort in one eye and the crew quickly came over to remove what was revealed to be “a strand of hair as long as a finger,” as stated by Seo Vin. “I couldn’t believe that such a lengthy piece of hair could actually fit into someone’s eye. Since Kiirii has very large eyes, I guess that’s how this long hair ended up there in the first place.” Recalling the incident, Seo Vin expresses her admiration for Kiirii: “As soon as the hair was removed from her eye, she returned to continue the shoot like a professional. She remained so composed, and everyone was amazed.”
Extended takes can be tiring, even with quick snacks and the occasional problem. When tiredness starts to take over, the group relies on one another to remain encouraged and positive – showing how well they function as a team.
As stated by Jin Yul, Won Chae serves as a major source of energy and joy for the entire group: “Won Chae will say ‘queenz’ and we’ll respond with ‘party!'” This chant helps us regain our strength. Seo Ha also attributes her ability to endure lengthy shoots without losing drive to the support from her teammates.
My loyal team is right there with me, encouraging me by yelling ‘Looking good!’ or ‘Wow, you’re doing great!’ These words of encouragement boost my confidence and help me keep moving forward.” She added, “And each of us has clear personal goals, things we want to achieve regardless of the circumstances. I believe this feeling of determination also helps us keep going and stay confident.
The “Neo-Classic Rebels” shoot required a challenging mix of defiance and elegance, yet Queenz Eye’s confident individuality and strong group dynamic brought everything together. “We aren’t scared to try new things, and each member has their own distinct personalities, which worked well with the concept,” Seo Vin mentioned. This openness to explore indicates that Queenz Eye might soon be not just following trends but setting them.
Ah Yoon encapsulates Queenz Eye’s style with three terms: diverse, lively, and endearing. “Each member possesses her own distinct appeal, and when we unite as a group, these different attractions generate harmony. At the same time, everyone radiates an affectionate and lively energy, and I believe these traits are reflected in our fashion!”
Just like Queenz Eye’s style incorporates contrast and uniqueness, their music reflects the same sense of courage and variety. With their debut mini album [PRISM EP.01], Queenz Eye launched a powerful new chapter for the group, expressing both their energetic and lighthearted aspects.
Three tracks are featured on the playlist, including the lead single “Feel the Vibe,” which embodies the group’s resolve, the lively summer hit “ACHA!” and the smooth R&B tune “Trippin’.” [PRISM EP.01] highlights the diverse array of emotions and musical genres that Queenz Eye is prepared to present to the audience. As Won Chae mentioned, “We hope this album inspires hope and bravery for dreamers like us. This summer, we’re excited to share both warm and cool moments with our fans.”
Seo Vin is excited about the opportunity to showcase their vibrant energy to fans. “We aim to display a variety of colors, like a rainbow. Every member has their own special qualities, and these different charms come together in harmony through our shared passion for music. We hope to deliver our distinct energy during our performances.” This blend of each member’s individual personality and their strong team unity is expected to give their shows a uniquely Queenz Eye style.
For Queenz Eye, this is just the start. As they enter their Season 2 phase, Queenz Eye is set to revolutionize the industry with new concepts and bold aspirations. Seo Vin clearly outlines the group’s vision. “We want to showcase many different aspects of ourselves, both in music and visuals. Instead of imitating others, our aim is to do things that others will want to emulate.” With their focus on transformation and creativity, Queenz Eye is ready to take chances and venture into unknown areas, whether it be in music, visual themes or fashion photography.
To the fans eagerly awaiting Queenz Eye’s new chapter, Kiirii expresses her love and appreciation. “Thank you very much for waiting for our debut, I-Q. Knowing that you’re waiting for us motivates us, and we can’t wait to meet you. We will always strive to present our best to you. Join us now, I-Q!”
