Baekless Kim Go-eun - Topless Noh Sang-hyun... Dizzying chemistry [Photoshoot]
Actresses Kim Go-eun and Noh Sang-hyun had a photoshoot with fashion magazine Elle.
This pictorial captured the cool and affectionate chemistry of the two who worked together as real friends in the movie ‘Lovestruck in the City’.
In an interview conducted after the shoot, Kim Go-eun, who plays Jae-hee, said about the reason she was drawn to ‘Lovestruck in the City’, “It was a story that wasn‘t forced. It was like it just said, ’There are people with stories like this,‘ in a cool, unpretentious way. It’s a special story because it projects concerns that anyone has experienced or could experience, but it‘s not a special story.”
Regarding Noh Sang-hyun, who played Heung-soo, “When I first saw him, he was really shy. On the outside, she seems tough, but once you get to know her, she’s very playful and often laughs like a child. That gap is very attractive. We filmed a lot in a space called home, and we acted while asking each other questions and talking a lot. I still remember those times,” she confessed.
When asked about Kim Go-eun‘s unique ’way of love,‘ she said, “Just sincerity. I always try to approach any relationship without regrets. A ’relationship‘ can end at any time, and it doesn’t matter how long it‘s been. I don’t want to have regrets, so I always do my best, and I don‘t want to create misunderstandings or unnecessary parts, so I don’t show my pride.”
Noh Sang-hyun confessed about the reason he was drawn to this work, “The scenario was honest and relatable, so I got into it right away. Heung-soo is a character who keeps his distance from the world and doesn‘t easily give his side to others, but I have that side too. I was able to approach him while imagining things in a fun way.”
Regarding his relationship with Kim Go-eun, he said, “I’ve heard a lot of good things about her as an actor and as a person. I knew her as an actor who has a lot of talent but works hard, but when I actually experienced it, I sympathized with those words even more. She‘s a colorful person who takes care of others and cares about them, but sometimes she’s also fragile.”
Noh Sang-hyun said, “I try to be as honest as possible in love. I can‘t keep things that are frustrating in my mind. If I let go of things that I can just let go of, I feel like I’m postponing a time bomb that will explode someday. I think that in order to have a wise relationship, you have to be as honest as possible with each other, but also be polite.”
‘Lovestruck in the City’, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 1, is a film that depicts the love between Jae-hee, a free spirit who doesn‘t know how to read others’ faces, and Heung-soo, who is used to keeping his distance from the world, as they live together and enjoy their own love. The pictorial and interview containing the extreme chemistry between Kim Go-eun and Noh Sang-hyun can be found in the October issue of Elle and on the Elle website.
