Yoji Iwase, a National Treasure-Level Beauty, Makes His First-Ever Beauty Magazine Cover Appearance! Gracing the Special Edition of VOCE August Issue!

The cover of the special edition of VOCE's August issue features rising actor Yoji Iwase. With his refined looks and refreshing aura, Iwase is making waves in the beauty world—and this marks his first-ever cover appearance on a beauty magazine! Titled 'Yoji Iwase in Summer,' the photoshoot was based on the concept of the 'ultimate dreamy SUMMER BOY.' We expected a deep dive into summer memories—but surprisingly, Iwase revealed, 'Actually, I'm not a fan of summer and spend most of my time at home...' It turns out he's more of an indoor person! According to him, 'You’ll only see me under the summer sun in this photoshoot (laughs).' This makes his appearance in VOCE’s August issue all the more special and rare! On the day of the shoot, Iwase arrived in a sleek all-black leather outfit radiating charisma, but immediately rushed to grab snacks on set—revealing an adorable contrast. From unexpected hobbies to serious conversations, there’s plenty to discover—don’t miss it!
