Youn Yuh-jung Stuns on Harper's Bazaar Korea Cover with Elegance and Bold Fashion



Fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar Korea released the cover of the January 2025 issue with actress Youn Yuh-jung.

It is a cover that focuses on the original aura of 
Youn Yuh-jung, who has now risen to the global ranks by breaking away from the images and stereotypes that usually come to mind when you think of 'actress'. Standing in front of the camera of "Harper's Bazaar" for the first time in seven years, she catches the eye by elegantly digesting Tiffany & Co's colorful high jewelry. Is that all. Even ordinary models wore maxi coats, structural jackets, and white suits that were difficult to pull off easily, showing an incredible `cool' fashion style at the age of 77.

Youn Yuh-jung is still calm in an interview she had with her 58th year since her debut. As for why Yoon Yo-jong appeared in the Netflix original series "Angry People" Season 2, "I feel like my arms are baked inside. Korean American, if it's a work made by those friends, I'm instinctively led by my body. I had several meetings with director Lee Sung-jin, and he said he had a story he wanted to draw through me. It's fun because it's a different view from Korean directors. In Korea, people usually get cast as grandmothers. But maybe because they've lived in a completely different world, the way they look at me is quite different. I'm usually a very conservative person. In life. But strangely, he's good at challenging himself in his work. I don't even know if that kind of adventurous spirit works in my work because I've been living a life like a ruler."

She also talked about the driving force he could still struggle with in his 58th year of acting. "I've thought about it, too. Wouldn't it be better to stop retiring now? Even if I'm lying down at home, I can't read more than an hour. My eyes hurt, too. In the end, daily life is the most important thing. There must be so many sick people around me. That's what they want to live most in their daily lives. I'm not doing anything because I'm greedy, but I'm just thinking that I want to go out of this hospital and walk at the last minute. The job as an actor is my daily routine. So I want to do my best to play the role that comes to me. That's how I live my daily life"

I hate the expression 'artist', but I accept the expression 'artist'. "I don't like artists. I don't know if someone says 'She was an artist' after I die, but I think it's a little too much now. But I also want to be a craftsman. If I took one path to 60 years, I could be treated as a craftsman."




The cover and pictorial of actress Yoon Yeo-jung can be found in the January issue of Harper's Bazaar.
