Modelling
Taking advantage of his height and modeling talent, Ren Meguro also works as a model. He has been a regular model for 'FINEBOYS' Magazine since November 2018 until now.

On May 7, 2020, it was announced that he would appear for 'FINEBOYS' June issue for first time as solo cover. When the magazine was released May 29, 2020, web server crashed for 10 seconds because access activity was too high.

In addition, it was determined that the FINEBOYS's 2020 June and July issue which Ren Meguro appeared on the cover would be republished, server web once again crashed for 5 seconds after it was announced. There are rumors that he is an idol who will make magazines vanishes (in the market) when he appears on the cover.
