Park Gyu Young graced the cover of the latest issue of ‘Elle India’, becoming the first Korean actor to do so for the print edition.
The July issue of ‘Elle India’ features Park Gyu Young in various looks, such as a simple red, flowy dress with a revealed back, a white shirt complemented with a bold floral headscarf, a white crop top with embroidered details paired with a white skirt with red strokes, and a green and beige patterned jacket filled with earth tones.
‘Elle India’ introduces the actress as “a badass who’s too busy taking down villains (and occasional monsters) to care about how she’s perceived,” which sets her apart from the mold of a polished K-drama female lead. Park Gyu Young talks about her opportune casting during her university years. Being on set rejuvenated her, and her passion kickstarted her venture into acting as a career.
Park Gyu Young has made a strong impression through many popular drama series, such as ‘Sweet Home’, ‘It’s Okay Not to be Okay’, and ‘Celebrity’. Most notably, she is catapulted into the global spotlight with Netflix hit ‘Squid Game’, where she plays Kang No Eul, a North Korean sniper.
Park Gyu Young explains that her acting process is layered, beginning with sculpting the character without drawing from other series or films. Through analysis, she crafts the appearance and physicality first, and then fully embodies the role by empathizing with the emotional beats it possesses.
Finally, the actress expresses gratitude toward fans who love and support Korean contents and culture, and for the opportunity to speak on her experience and acting career.
