A photoshoot featuring actress Kim So-hyun has been revealed.

Now entering her 17th year since her debut, Kim So-hyun conducted a photoshoot with the fashion magazine 'Elle'. This photoshoot captures the vibrant and diverse face of Kim So-hyun, who blooms with the heat and purity of youth at every moment.

Following the photoshoot, an interview took place. Regarding her feelings about the upcoming premiere of the JTBC drama 'Good Boy' on the 31st, Kim So-hyun stated, "When I think of this project, the first emotion that comes to mind is 'We finally did it!' Like all projects, the actors and staff worked hard, going back and forth between Seoul and Busan through all four seasons, putting in our best efforts towards the end. As the first broadcast approaches, the overwhelming feeling that the result of our hard work is finally being revealed to the world is significant."

Regarding her role as Ji Han-na, a gold medalist in shooting and a member of a special forces team, she said, "She is a very chic and bold character. I am not exactly a quiet person myself, so I think I have always been drawn to such friends. Rather than being simply kind and gentle, I prefer characters who are indifferent and straightforward. Han-na's description starts and ends with 'gun', and she is a character who makes a big impact amidst various prejudices, which is why I was captivated by her bold and fiery nature."

When asked if playing a character with a sense of mission or responsibility makes her think about 'justice', she replied, "In the end, justice wins. In that process, righteous people may get hurt, and sometimes it seems like only good people suffer, but despite the ups and downs, it seems like they ultimately win the fight. That’s what makes the thrill of a big victory even more exhilarating." She added, "This work was created with the hope that when one feels exhausted in reality, sees no hope, and feels like there’s no end, they can find strength in thinking, 'Yes, I can take a step forward.'"

When asked how she would define the phrase 'Kim So-hyun-like', she said, "Simply being natural without pretense. I don’t want to struggle to the point of tormenting myself. I believe that my natural self will shine one day. It’s good to keep moving steadily in anything. Just having my acting career and life flow smoothly is a blessing. I want to maintain this grateful mindset always."

Kim So-hyun's photoshoot and interview can be found in the June issue of Elle and on the Elle website.
