Go Ara, who is currently working as a Maxim model and illustrator, showed off her more mature charm to welcome the new year.

Go Ara, who participated in the pictorial, happily said, “The pictorial that I am showing you after a long time is the January issue of the Year of the Snake. I have tried many concepts, but this is the first time I have expressed the vibe of a snake.” She also said, “Modeling is like a fun game to me that I can‘t sleep because I am so excited. I am already looking forward to the results.”

Go Ara’s pictorial this time had the Year of the Snake as its concept, and she showed off a strong and daring styling by wearing a snake-patterned bikini and monokini reminiscent of a snake. In particular, Go Ara, who was selected as the representative snake beauty of Maxim and became the main character of the pictorial, also captures attention with her captivating gaze and snake-like, free pose.



In an interview conducted together with the pictorial shoot that announced the New Year, Go Ara honestly expressed her thoughts, saying, “I‘m not the type to really believe in fortune telling or saju, but I firmly believe in the saying, ’Dry firewood burns well‘ and ’Life is a series of ups and downs.‘” She continued, “I’m curious about when a good time will be for the New Year and what I should be careful of. I‘ll have to look at my fortune after the pictorial shoot is over,” making everyone laugh.

When we asked Go Ara, who is also actively working as a writer, about her plans for the New Year, she said, “Recently, I’ve been concentrating as much as possible on my personal work rather than my work as a webtoon writer. “I’m planning various exhibitions including a solo exhibition in 2025, so please show a lot of interest,” she said.

Lastly, Go Ara said, “Maybe it’s because it’s the new year, but the atmosphere on set seems even more excited. I hope the readers have had a hard year, and I hope you’ll be happy with my pictorial in the new year.”
