Singer and actress Choi Yena's photoshoot has been revealed.
Fashion magazine 'MAN NOBLESSE' has released the photoshoot from the April issue featuring Choi Yena. In this photoshoot, Choi Yena showcased intense and vibrant colors. Through outfits with cut-out details, leather boots, and colorful tights, she revealed a mature and elegant aura.
In a subsequent interview, the conversation naturally shifted to Choi Yena's first acting challenge in the KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday sitcom 'The Land of Villains.' She stated, "I always think it's important to change without losing my original charm," emphasizing her desire to maintain her natural self.
The character Gu Won-hee, played by Choi Yena, appears cold and aloof on the outside but gradually develops warm emotions, making her a multi-dimensional character. A fan of 'High Kick Through the Roof,' Choi Yena explained, "I have more affection for this boarding student character since it's been a while since one has appeared." When asked about her most fervent wish these days, she replied, "To do this job for a long time," adding, "Even if it's physically demanding, I want to show as many sides of myself as possible."
The conversation also touched on her music activities. Choi Yena expressed, "I hope my music can provide comfort and support to my fans," indicating her desire to convey a hopeful message. The reason behind releasing songs filled with positive energy, such as 'SMILEY,' 'SMARTPHONE,' and 'Good Morning,' is tied to this sentiment. She added, "When I hear that my music has given someone strength, it feels like I've become a hero from a comic."
When asked about the source of inspiration for her music work, Choi Yena revealed, "I am influenced more by animation than by specific artists," stating that she sometimes draws inspiration from characters to conceptualize her songs.
When asked if there were any performances she regretted after they were over, she replied, "I feel like I haven't shown 100% to my fans yet, so I feel regret every time, but it makes me feel my sincerity towards music," and calmly added, "I hope I never become satisfied with the stage as it is now."
She also expressed her affection for her family. She shared, "My brother and I share the motto 'Turn Crisis into Opportunity,'" emphasizing a positive mindset. Additionally, she mentioned, "Seeing my family happy gives me the energy to work harder," expressing her ambition to maintain her strength as a singer for a long time.
Choi Yena's candid interview and the photoshoot that showcases her mature charm can be found in the April issue of MAN NOBLESSE and on the official website.
