Kim Ji-won shared her thoughts on the cover shoot, saying, "It's a special thing to have photos that you can keep for a long time.

After the cover shoot, an interview was held. When asked about the things she wants to keep forever, like jewelry whose beauty does not change over time, Kim Ji-won said, "As I get older, I feel that new values are established and change, breaking away from the existing values. Repeating such experiences, I think, 'This is the only thing that matters.' Instead of saying, ‘I will definitely protect it!’, I learned an attitude of learning new things every day, and while playing ‘Hong Hae-in’ in the drama ‘Queen of Tears,’ I learned to be honest and courageous in everything.”
'Queen of Tears', which is so loved by viewers that it surpassed the national average viewership rating of 20.7% as of episode 12 and ranked second in tvN drama history, is about a couple who became estranged for three years after marriage and realize the importance of each other and fall in love again. It is a drama depicting the beginning of a story. Regarding love as defined by Kim Ji-won, "There is a line in Haein's line that goes like this: 'The love I think of is not about doing something huge, but about being by your side no matter what.' I think those words were good, and I think love is something that can give you strength in good times or, on the other hand, in difficult moments when you are tired and hit rock bottom.”
Kim Ji-won's acting skills were recognized early on, to the extent that she remains in people's memories and is constantly mentioned even after a long time has passed, including not only 'Queen of Tears' Hong Hae-in, but also Yoon Myeong-ju of 'Descendants of the Sun' and Yeom Mi-jeong of 'My Liberation Diary'. “When I look back, I think the characters I played were wonderful people who I always wanted to support, who were independent and strong. They were people with clear beliefs and values. Like the viewers, I also felt and learned a lot from them. “He said and expressed his unique thoughts.
What kind of work does actress Kim Ji-won want to see in the future? “No matter what, I will do my best if given the opportunity, but when I look into the future, I thought that it would be great if I could leave behind a genre film. I also really enjoyed Netflix’s ‘Paper House’ and the movie ‘Chinatown’. “That’s it,” he said, raising expectations for his future actions.
