Beautiful Creature

In the age of social media filters and ever-shifting trends, the definition of beauty feels like a never-ending debate.

Then there's Han So-hee, whose ethereal yet sensual appeal makes her a rare gem. Beyond her captivating looks lies a talent so undeniable, a depth of character so potent, that her rise to greatness feels preordained.

She made her small screen debut at 22 with a minor role in the 2017 drama series Reunited Worlds. Since then, she's captivated audiences with her star-making turn as the mistress in the critically acclaimed ratings hit The World of the Married, followed by leading roles in TV romance series Nevertheless, crime-action drama My Name, and Netflix period thriller Gyeongseong Creature, which is heading into its second season this year.

Her allure is almost otherworldly, a force to be reckoned with. Even the simplest act, like biting a pen cap when signing autographs for fans during Paris Fashion Week, becomes a viral sensation on social media when she does it. But the selfprofessed introvert and bookworm is more than just a pretty face. "I am who I am, a firework of different colours," she says about her multifaceted personality.

Born for the spotlight, Han So-hee exudes confidence in sleek Dior suits and dresses that hug her curves. Striking a pose for ELLE, she shares her thoughts about her craft and her journey as an actress.

My Name and Gyeongseong Creature are both rather heavy dramas where the protaganists you played had to face the demons of the past in their fight for truth and justice. How deeply do you get into character?
