Raul (21), member of the popular group Snow Man, held an Instagram live from Paris, France, on the 27th, where he announced that he had signed a contract with a local modeling agency.

On this day, Raul, who celebrated his 21st birthday, posted an Instagram Live titled "#SoloBirthdayPartyInParis". While he was happy with the congratulatory comments from his followers, he began by saying, "It's a bit of a special case," and revealed that while he continues to be under contract with STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, he has signed a contract with a local modeling agency mainly in France.

Raul, who is also working as an idol and a model, said, "It was the only professional feeling I had." He said, "I wondered how I could get there from Paris Fashion Week," and participated in an audition there. "We talked about how it would be difficult unless I joined a local modeling agency."

This is the first time that a talent affiliated with STARTO has signed a contract as a model with a foreign agency. On the 21st local time, he walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week for the second time since January 2023 at the "Maison Mihara Yasuhiro" 2025 Spring/Summer Collection show.
