Fashion magazine DAZED released a pictorial with actor Ryu Jun-yeol.

He didn't say much about his latest film "Alienoid" with director Choi Dong-hoon but it was enough to raise expectations. "The movie is quite freaky and unique. I believe most audiences will enjoy it", he said, adding, "It's going to be a fun and comfortable movie with a mysterious element of familiarity. These days, there is no distinction between genres. It's a mix of action, comic, thriller and melodrama. It's an interesting movie that can't be limited to one genre".

When talking about Ryu Jun-yeol, one cannot leave out photos and trips. Now is not the time to go around freely, but we could hear Ryu Jun-yeol's thoughts on keywords such as 'departure', 'record', 'beauty' and 'growth'. "Travel is a time when I ask myself what 'beauty' is. But beauty is very multi-layered. The way I see life, the people I meet and the stories I can tell, I think it's more like a story about a man who thinks about it all over and I think about me. Traveling is like 'cheating' that can add perfection to my story. The people and moments you face through travel are a rich source of beauty".

Sponsoring Greenpeace, the "#Courage" challenge that he participated in recently moved a huge organization called Lotte. Lotte Mart is the first major mart brand in Asia to join a plastic reduction campaign to remove unnecessary packaging materials. "It was really nice of them to join us in the campaign. I was so happy, too. When influential organizations like large corporations declare, consumers definitely join. It would be perfect if other major market brands join us too. I don't think my campaign is an 'environmental movement'. Well, I think it's just a message that we've been doing unconsciously, thinking a little bit about what we've been doing".

Meanwhile, Ryu Jun-yeol's pictures and interview can be seen in the September issue of DAZED as well as social media, YouTube and other social media networks.
