Miss Maxim Ha Yoon-ah has revealed a new charm.

Ha Yoon-ah, who decorated the cover of Maxim‘s 2025 New Year’s issue, showed off a chic vibe with her charismatic gaze and unconventional and gorgeous styling. She showed her affection for the photoshoot, saying, “As a new Maxim model, I was surprised that the photoshoot was conducted faster than I thought. I am so happy that I was able to shoot with a concept that was better than I expected.”

Ha Yoon-ah‘s pictorial concept, ‘Y3K’, is a compound word of ‘Year 3 Kilo’, and means a futuristic style set in the 3000s. Maxim editor Bae Joo-young said, “Ha Yoon-ah’s nickname is ‘Human Cat’, and her sharp cat-like image and flexible poses matched well with the pictorial concept. As expected, I think she is a model with a definite presence with a synchronization rate,” she said, revealing the background of the photoshoot.

In the released pictorial, Ha Yoon-ah drew attention with a unique concept. She emphasized her unique gaze while wearing a hood, and showed off her charisma with flashy accessories such as candy and sunglasses.

On this day, Ha Yoon-ah said, “Thanks to my readers, I was able to shoot my first pictorial as Miss Maxim. I will work hard to show you many pretty images of myself with a grateful heart. I hope you start the new year off strong as Yoon-ah.”

In the interview conducted after the photoshoot, we were able to hear about her experience in the Miss Maxim contest, where she made it to the semi-finals. Ha Yoon-ah said, “I watched the Miss Maxim contest video again a while ago. Even when I look at it again, I look cool, so I have no regrets about being eliminated in the semi-finals. She said, “It was 100% the pictorial I wanted to shoot,” and added, “Thanks to the Miss Maxim contest, I was able to feel the thrill for the first time in a long time, which was nice. I went back to homebody mode as soon as the contest ended,” making people laugh.

The pictorial and interview of new Miss Maxim Ha Yoon-ah will be released on the January 2025 issue of Maxim and the official Maxim YouTube channel.
