Cosmopolitan has released its July pictorial with actress Choi Hee-jin.

Actress Choi Hee-jin, who appeared as ‘Sonya’, the pet cat of ‘Hae-sook(Kim Hae-ja)’ who became human in heaven in JTBC drama ‘More Beautiful than Heaven’, captured the attention of viewers and received much love, confidently exuding ‘Sonya’s ‘feline charm in line with Cosmopolitan’s pictorial theme of ‘an actress to look forward to in the future’.

After the photoshoot, an interview was conducted.When asked about her thoughts on the viewers ‘overwhelming response to her role as’ Sonya ‘in the drama’ More Beautiful than Heaven ‘, she said, “It was so amazing.After the show aired, I got a lot of calls from people around me.Friends sent me TikTok or Reels videos and said,’ You’re the only one I can see on my algorithm right now!’ I was dumbfounded,” she said with a laugh.Actress Choi Hee-jin showed off her acting that was full of meticulous details, from her facial expressions to her gestures and speech, to the point where the term ‘personification of cats’ would not seem awkward.”When I got this role, the first thing I did was look for cat videos.Since I don’t raise cats, I looked up books about cats and even visited a neighborhood in Mokpo where many cats live to observe them.However, I think the decisive factor was that I was able to exist as a cat more while acting with Kim Hye-ja.When I saw myself acting, I thought, ‘Oh my, she’s a real cat! ‘He said,” She praised me a lot.That gave me confidence and allowed me to act with more excitement, “and expressed his gratitude to actress Kim Hye-ja, with whom he worked.

Meanwhile, she has been recording her favorite movies on Instagram under the name #HeejinMovieList.Choi Hee-jin introduced,” It’s my own list that I’ve been keeping since I was a college student.I’ve been collecting movies that make me feel good whenever I look at them or movies that I can refer to when acting.”When asked what she thinks a good movie is, she said,” If I had to define it in my own way, I think it’s a movie that leaves a lasting impression and can heal me because of that.That’s exactly how I felt when I watched ‘La La Land.’ Watching the unknown female protagonist ‘Mia(Emma Stone)’ grow into an actress, I realized anew how cool and beautiful being an actor is.I think movies where I can grow together with the character in the movie are the best movies for me, “showing her mature side as an actress who works hard.

What does a challenge mean to him?” It’s the same reason I do this.I always want to challenge myself with new characters and new projects.I was excited when I was given the role of ‘Sonya’, who is ‘more beautiful than heaven.’ I was so happy that I could take on a new challenge.I’m currently filming the drama ‘Idol Eye’ (tentative title), and I’m working really hard on it.I’m learning a lot on set for this project, and I’m excited because I think I’ll be able to discover a new me in the process.” He showed his courageous attitude and confident ambition.

The pictorial and interview with actress Choi Hee-jin, who is expected to be active in the future, can be purchased in the July issue of Cosmopolitan at bookstores nationwide.
