The actor fronts the latest cover of men’s fashion magazine MEN Noblesse, once again cementing his star power. Shot in collaboration with an Italian jewelry house, the spread pairs a sleek, modern mood with understated luxury to striking effect.
In the images, Ahn moves between crisp white and black shirting and a burgundy knit, showing off different facets of his charm. A clean, open-collar shirt styled with a watch and subtle jewelry reads smart and refined with a hint of sensuality, while a burgundy turtleneck with minimal silver pieces brings a warm, grounded masculinity. At the center is an octagonal timepiece that nods to “perfect balance,” mirroring the multi-talented star’s poise and polishing his classic leading-man appeal.
With a soft gaze and unhurried poses, Ahn projects controlled charisma―less about styling, more about an inner calm that carries the frame.
In an accompanying interview, he frames his philosophy around “balance” and “restraint.” “I’ve learned it should be challenging,” he says. “I try to use only the energy I can carry and keep my center―where it’s neither too hard nor too comfortable.”
“Acting is ultimately a way to learn who I am,” he adds. “When I step into a character, I discover sides of myself I didn’t know were there.”
Asked what kind of actor he wants to become, Ahn is refreshingly candid: “I’ve never really pictured it―and I probably won’t. If I keep working hard and having fun, I’ll end up where I’m meant to be. So I’m focused on the present. With each role, it feels like I’m fitting pieces of a puzzle together, even if I don’t know the full picture yet. I’m curious how Ahn Hyo-seop the person will age.”
True to that grounded outlook, Ahn continues to command the frame without fuss. Recently, he showcased his range in the Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" and the feature "Omniscient Reader," further solidifying his global momentum. In 2026, he returns to his rom-com roots with the SBS series "Sold Out Again Today" (literal title).
