Dec 19, 2023

Moon Ga Young joined Harper’s Bazaar Korea for the magazine’s January issue!

Although the pictorial, a collaboration with Calvin Klein Underwear, was Moon Ga Young’s first underwear shoot, she remained calm and showed her professionalism by naturally leading the atmosphere of the shoot.

In an interview following the photo shoot, Moon Ga Young was asked how she is spending one of the rare breaks she has had since her acting debut in 2006. She shared, “I’m trying to become more relaxed about wasting time. I think I’ll need a warm-up period for later. The words that describe me these days are wastefulness, organizing, emptying, and flexible.”

Moon Ga Young also expressed a special affection for her previous drama, “The Interest Of Love.” She recalled, “We started filming and the director told me, ‘Ga Young, you don’t have to smile so much.’ The first week was awkward. But eventually, I felt a sense of liberation as I acted without smiling in front of the camera.”

She continued, “When I was young, my nickname was ‘Yes Girl.’ I don’t know why, but I think it was because I wanted to be nice to others. Instead, I was hard on myself. When someone complimented me, my default response was ‘No, that’s not true.’ That’s how I learned to behave on the job, and I thought it was polite and humble. Now, I’m kinder to myself.”
