Actress Kim Yoon-hye has shot a Beauty Plus visual pictorial.

The pictorial, which was conducted with a concept that paid homage to her childhood when she debuted as a model, was a moment to simultaneously confirm Kim Yoon-hye‘s capabilities as a model and depth as an actress while connecting the past and present.

The interview conducted along with the pictorial continued with the talk about the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ’My Perfect Secretary.‘ In this work, Kim Yoon-hye plays ’Jung Soo-hyun,‘ a single mother and picture book author. “Jung Soo-hyun is a character who lives without losing positive energy even in difficult situations. I hope that the warmth and brightness she has can convey a little comfort and hope to the viewers,” she said.

She added that she felt a great challenge in acting, especially because ’Retirement‘ Hye-rang and ’My Perfect Secretary‘ Jung Soo-hyun are completely contrasting characters.

“Hye-rang is a character with strong inner insecurities and obsessions, so I needed to act with deep emotions. On the other hand, Jung Soo-hyun resembles my real personality, so I was able to immerse myself naturally. We filmed them overlappingly, but this challenge of going back and forth between extremes was a fresh experience for me,” she said, expressing her passion for acting.

She also said, “The setting of being a single mom and my job as a picture book author were both new challenges. I hope Jung Soo-hyun’s bright and cheerful image will warmly reach out to many people,” expressing her affection for the work.

In this pictorial, she once again proved her sensibility as a model, and added her honest charm as an actress.

“I like to spend my day planned out. I like to change my mood by baking or going for a walk, and sometimes I also like going to the movies alone. “I’ve been really into smoothies made with kale, bananas, and apples lately,” she said, talking about the small pleasures of everyday life in addition to acting.

Kim Yoon-hye said, “There is definitely an end to everything. It’s important to live faithfully today with the belief that even when times are tough, things will work out in the end. I want to give viewers a little comfort and happiness through this production,” expressing her confidence and anticipation for the production.
