Kim Yoo Jung shared her thoughts on the shoot, saying:
“It was really enjoyable shooting in nature. Among today’s outfits, I especially liked the green look—it matched the weather beautifully.”

Kim Yoo Jung’s New Drama Dear X
Dear X is a TVING original series based on a popular webtoon. It is a romantic thriller about a top actress, Baek Ah Jin (played by Kim Yoo Jung), who hides behind a fake persona, and a man who tries to save her. The drama promises intense emotions and suspense.
Kim Yoo Jung admitted she was hesitant about taking the role at first. She said:
“I’d heard the webtoon was popular and fun, but honestly, I was hesitant at first. The role of Baek Ah Jin felt intimidating. But after speaking with the director, I found the courage. He explained in detail why I was the right fit for this role. While the script and character are important, the people you work with are just as crucial. I trusted him and felt this could be a rewarding experience, which led me to accept the role.”
Fans are excited to see her in this complex character, marking another bold step in her career.
22 Years in the Industry: Kim Yoo Jung’s Reflections
Kim Yoo Jung debuted as a child actress in 2003 and has since grown into one of South Korea’s most respected stars. Reflecting on her long career, she shared her philosophy:
“I try to stay true to what makes me feel free and comfortable. When I find myself trying to control or suppress something, I consciously break out of that mindset. That approach applies to both acting and my everyday life. It’s important not to feel trapped.”
When asked about moments when she feels fearless—matching Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Female” slogan—she revealed:
“It’s when I’m dreaming. That’s when I feel the most inspired—flying, defeating villains. The day after a good dream, I feel brave, like I can do anything.”
