At first, I often hear that I look cold. So perhaps people think I’m hard to approach.

But when I actually start talking, I’m told I’m full of laughter and a bit quirky. I tend to laugh easily at small things and break the mood with unexpected words and actions.

People who’ve known me longer sometimes say, “you’re cuter than I thought” or “you have a way of putting people at ease, oddly enough.”

I may look unfamiliar at first, but I quickly become familiar; I may seem quiet, yet I keep drawing attention.

I’m Ye-jin Kim, an actor who wants to show that natural charm through acting.
