Rookie boy group CLOSE YOUR EYES has been named the sixth featured artist for Billboard Korea's 'Billboard Artist' project.
Announced on July 2, the selection places CLOSE YOUR EYES alongside past artists such as NewJeans, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, PLAVE, ATEEZ, and Charlie Puth. The project spotlights artists with notable musicality and influence.
The collaboration opens with a photoshoot set against a blue sea and a summer landscape. The members show a fresh, boyish charm in school uniforms and white outfits for a cinematic mood.
Billboard Korea plans to follow the pictorial with more content, including short-form videos and a pop-up store.
The pick follows a strong stretch for the group. Last month, CLOSE YOUR EYES won the Rookie Award at the '35th Seoul Music Awards,' a record for the most rookie awards won by a male idol group that debuted in 2025.
CLOSE YOUR EYES will also meet global fans at 'ACON 2026' at the NTSU Arena in Taipei on July 25, with a North American tour set to begin in October.
