Actress Kim So-hyun, who is entering her 17th year since debut, had a photo shoot with fashion magazine Elle.

This pictorial captures the powerful and colorful face of actress Kim So-hyun, who blooms brightly with the passion and innocence of youth at every moment.

The pictorial shoot was followed by an interview.Regarding her thoughts on the new JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Good Boy’, which will premiere on May 31, Kim So-hyun said, “When I think of this work, the first thing that comes to mind is, ‘We finally did it!’ As with all works, the actors and staff did their best to film while traveling back and forth between Seoul and Busan throughout the four seasons with the mindset that we were heading toward the end.As we look ahead to the premiere, I feel a great sense of excitement that the results of our hard work together are finally being released to the world.”

Regarding the role of Ji Han-na, a former gold medalist in shooting and a special forces sergeant, she said, “She’s such a chic and bold character.I’m not the type to be all gentle, but I think I’m generally drawn to those kinds of people.People who are indifferent and easygoing rather than just kind and gentle.Hanna’s description starts and ends with ‘gun,’ and she’s a friend who hits hard in the face of many prejudices, so I was attracted to her bold and fiery side.”

When asked if he thought about ‘justice’ while playing a character with a sense of mission or responsibility as an actor, he said, “In the end, justice wins.In the process, righteous people get hurt, and sometimes it seems like the world is only hurting good people, but even if there are twists and turns, it seems like they are ultimately winning the fight.That’s how the pleasure of one blow is more thrilling.” He added, “I created this work in the hope that when you feel exhausted in reality, hopeless, and like there’s no end in sight, you will gain strength and think, ‘Okay, just take one step forward.’”

When asked how she would define the phrase “Kim So-hyun-like,” she said, “Just something natural and unadorned.I don’t want to torment myself to the point of trying too hard.I think my natural self will shine someday.It’s good to keep moving forward with anything.It’s a blessing in itself that my acting career and my life are going smoothly.I want to keep this grateful feeling.”

Kim So-hyun’s pictorial and interview can be found in the June issue of Elle and on the Elle website.YouTube content will also be released soon on the Elle YouTube channel.
