SUGA, a member of the renowned K-Pop group BTS, is the cover star of Vogue Japan 2023 August Issue. It is the first time in the 24-year-old history of the specific magazine that a male idol is displayed alone on the cover.

The artist is photographed in a deep blue background, his Valentino outfit consisting of a black blazer, a matching pair of bermuda shorts and a plain white shirt. The highlights of the outfit, however, are his black stylish boots that belong in the Valentino Black Tie Collection, as well as the beaded necklace with Valentino's logo that adorns his neck.

As Suga himself stated in the video that was posted by Vogue Japan, this photoshoot focuses on "inner space", showcasing numerous sides of him. He also describes this pictorial as different than his past ones.
