Just Entertainment recently released a pictorial of actress Kim Shin-rok with luxury fashion magazine AVENUEL.

Kim Shin-rok's beauty was captured in the released pictorial. First of all, Kim Shin-rok caught the attention by stylishly pulling off the look that was highlighted by green-colored top and bottom setup. In addition, she boldly introduces a silk top & pants look that gives off a leather material feeling, chicly matching a black dress with a white watch, and creating a white dress and sky blue-colored set-up, giving off charisma and charm.

Asked in an interview after the photoshoot whether she realizes her popularity after winning the Director's Cut Awards for New Actress of the Year award, Kim Shin-rok said, "Well I'm having an interview with a magazine and a photo shoot, aren't I? I feel a sense of responsibility as I have more opportunities to talk about myself through interviews with various media outlets. I hope that everything I say will inspire someone if possible", she said.

She played a possessed shaman in the drama "The Cursed", a terminally ill mother in "Hellbound" and a cold but strong character in "Beyond Evil" that is imprinted in everyone's minds. When asked about where her power comes from, she answered, "It's the ability to be able to concentrate and pour my focus onto something. I persistently pour out my energy to the point where I can hold onto it. Even if it's a good scenario, it's up to the actor to design how to implement it. After understanding the character's psychology, I express and embody my actions by implicating a lot of emotions".

When asked if there was a role she wanted to try, she said, "I think I've done enough to the point that "Be Melodramatic" is appealing (laughs). Now it's up to the people who look at me and choose me. I think actors are interesting and fun when they express various aspects of their careers. Recently, I've been playing cool and charismatic roles such as shamans, detectives, prosecutors, and publisher team leaders, so I sometimes wonder if the cold and charismatic 'strong character' image will stick. But on the bright side, I think I've gotten into the role well. I want to be an actor who can play various roles, ranging from unique roles to big roles. I want to go back and forth between detailed and trivial works. If there is anyone who looks at me with a different image than before, please contact me anytime".

Meanwhile, Kim Shin-rok will return with a new look through works such as Disney+ original series "Moving" and JTBC's "Reborn Rich".
