A Lacoste representative stated, "The image of Ahn Hyo-seop, who is always challenging and showing a new appearance with his versatile talents in singing, dancing, and acting, is connected with the persistent and bold 'crocodile' spirit of René Lacoste, a tennis legend and fashion icon of the 1920s. His unique fresh and elegant atmosphere, and authentic demeanor also match the values pursued by the brand, hence he was selected as the new ambassador of Lacoste."

"With his ability to switch between masculinity and boyish charm, and always showcasing a stylish look, he is the ideal person to perfectly embody the classic and elegant fashion sports silhouette that René Lacoste aspired to under the message 'Playing and Winning are not enough without Style.' We have high expectations for our future endeavors with him," added the spokesperson.

Regarding this, Ahn Hyo-seop said, "When I was a child, my father often wore Lacoste polo shirts, and he always looked elegant. The memory of buying a Lacoste polo shirt with my father at the store on Champs-Élysées suddenly comes to mind, and it's very joyful that the brand, which was with my father's generation, now shows a new face through me. I think it's amazing that Lacoste, a brand with solid roots and values forged over 90 years, continues to be a unique brand encompassing both fashion and sports. I am very excited about the various partnership activities I will undertake with Lacoste, and look forward to showing you new aspects of myself."
