High-teen fashion magazine 'TEENNIQ' dropped its April issue (vol.44), unveiling a fresh photo spread that captures the season’s vibrant, youthful energy.


This edition celebrates teens' breezy, free-spirited vibe, blending lazy springtime ease with a dreamy, slightly surreal mood. Two distinct cover concepts deliver contrasting atmospheres and elevate the magazine’s visual impact.


The issue also turns heads with a collaboration with running-focused lifestyle brand 'NEGATIVE SPLIT CLUB.' Known for going beyond chasing personal bests, the brand frames running as part of everyday life.


TEENNIQ says the issue channels teens' vitality and sensitivity to seasonal change around three keywords — PLAY BOM!, Wonder Garden, and NEGATIVE SPLIT CLUB — and that the brands’ free, trendy images harmonized with the magazine’s direction to enhance the photo spread.


They added that the plant- and flower-inspired concept shoots were designed to make readers feel as if they’ve stepped right into spring. The issue also features nature-driven themes like GREENERY, DEEP VINE, Dahlia, and EASTERN FLOOR.


This month’s cover stars newcomer models Hong Seong-bo and Bae Su-ah. Hong radiates a light, fresh, springlike charm with bright, natural appeal, while Bae evokes a mysterious, dreamy-afternoon mood.


TEENNIQ sets high-teen fashion trends each month with a new concept and is produced with support from Flor Broadcasting Productions, a content company that scouts actors and models. The magazine is available online at Kyobo Bookstore, and teens interested in modeling can apply through Flor Production’s official website.
