The lights in the hall dimmed as a voice came through the speakers.
Soft music played as a short video rolled on the large LED screen. It showed clips of Lux & Co.'s past works, runway shots, celebrity endorsements, and behind-the-scenes moments. The logo slowly faded in with elegant white letters on a black background.
A moment later, Yoona stepped up to the podium and applause filled the room.
"Good evening. I'm Yoona, the CEO of Lux & Co.," she began.
Yoona's eyes shone under the lights. She was dressed neatly, and the look on her face looked as if she was a goddess. "Thank you all for being here tonight. We're very excited to share something special with you."
She paused for a while, her voice calm and clear.
"Lux & Co. started with one goal: to create timeless pieces that bring confidence to anyone who wears them. We believe in clean design, fine detail, and choosing people who reflect those values."
She looked to her right.
"Now, let me introduce someone very important to us. She's the creative director behind this new line. Please welcome Lee Jisoo and Lee Taemin."
Applause echoed once again as two figures walked onto the stage.
Lee Jisoo, dressed in a midnight blue dress, walked with calm confidence. Beside her, Lee Taemin wore a soft grey turtleneck under a dark tailored coat, his expression calm but focused.
The two walked side-by-side, with a wide smile on their faces. They waved their hands as more people clapped for their arrival. Once they arrived beside Yoona, they stood in front of the mic, and Jisoo spoke first.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm Jisoo, one of the main designers for this collection," she said with a nod. "Beside me is our design lead, Lee Taemin."
Taemin gave a small bow and stepped slightly forward.
"This collection means a lot to both of us," he said. "We wanted something new, something clean, something that screams elegance. Something that didn't try too hard but still left an impact."
Jisoo nodded in agreement as Taemin finished his line. Then she leaned closer to the mic again.
"This time, we challenged ourselves," she said. "We took a step back from the bold, dramatic looks we've done before. Instead, we focused on balance. On pieces that are simple but full of character."
"We used warmer tones—muted browns, cream, soft navy, and silver. We focused on texture, comfort, and how the clothes feel when you wear them." Taemin added.
"It's wearable. Practical and light," Jisoo said with a smile. "But still elegant in its own way. This new line is a little different from our past works, and that's what makes it special."
A few heads in the audience nodded.
"We hope you love it as much as we do," Taemin said with a slight bow.
Another round of applause followed as they stepped back beside Yoona, letting her take the floor once again.
The lights slowly dimmed again and the screen behind them lit up.
At the same time, soft music from instrumentals echoed around, giving the venue a relaxing vibe. In a few seconds, a compilation of Minjae's photoshoot began appearing on the screen.
It opened with a wide shot, with Minjae standing in an open white space, wearing a loose cream sweater over dark trousers. His expression was calm, and his posture was relaxed.
The wind blew gently through his hair.
Then came close-ups. The way he adjusted his collar. The slight turn of his head. The soft and clear texture of his skin and the way his eyes followed the camera looked perfect.
More photos appeared, next, and each of it was transitioned seamlessly.
On the second photo, Minjae was now wearing a warm brown jacket layered over a plain white shirt. He was standing in front of a white backdrop, it was one of the behind-the-scene shoots when he was doing the first photoshoot.
Then the pictures were followed by a slightly more dynamic set of images. Minjae walked slowly down in a long black coat. The coat flowed lightly behind him with every step.
Each photo that was shown looked simple, but powerful.
Then, the final image appeared. It was Minjae, in the signature deep navy suit with silver pin on his chest. The picture was just taken earlier, when they were dressing up.
It flashed for a second before the screen faded into black, and the Lux & Co. logo appeared once more.
As soon as the video stooped, the instrumental background also faded.
Yoona took it as a cue for her to step forward.
"This new line is very close to our hearts," she said, her voice was steady but full of pride. "And so, it's only right that the person representing it reflects its values."
She smiled and looked toward the side of the stage.
"It's our pleasure to introduce the official face of our new collection—Nam Minjae!"
As Yoona's words echoed through the hall, the spotlight shifted to the entrance of the stage.
A sound of anticipation stirred at the crowd as a subtle swell of music began again. This time, it was now deeper, slower, and almost cinematic.
From the side of the stage, a soft fog rolled in at floor level. The tall black curtain parted smoothly, and there he was.
Minjae stepped into the light.
He wore the same deep navy suit from the final photo, but now, in person. His clothes shimmered faintly under the spotlight, and the silver pin on his chest, bearing the Lux & Co. logo, caught the light with every movement.
Minjae's posture was upright, confident, yet graceful. Each step he took was measured as if he had done it a couple of times already.
The crowd was silent at first, struck at what they had just seen. Minjae looked well dressed. He was handsome in his clothes.
A few seconds of silence were broken by a wave of applause, followed by the distant clicks of cameras.
Minjae walked forward with determination and confidents. His eyes were focused ahead, and his lips were in a neutral line that held just a hint of a smile.
Minjae's presence was all over the place.
The music softened as Minjae stopped at center stage, beside Yoona, Jisoo, and Taemin. He turned slightly toward the crowd and gave a deep, respectful bow.
