Park Ji Hyun Shines in Chic Winter Pictorial for ‘Allure Korea’ December Issue
Fresh off her Best Supporting Actress win at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards and a buzzworthy turn in the Netflix series ‘You and Everything Else’, actress Park Ji Hyun appears in the December issue of lifestyle and fashion magazine ‘Allure Korea’. Korean outlets describe the pictorial as showcasing her ‘powerful aura’ and ‘refined beauty’, saying she has condensed the momentum of her recent projects into a quiet yet commanding presence—one of the standout winter looks of the season.
In the key visual released by ‘Allure Korea’, Park Ji Hyun pairs a dark red striped shirt with a matching leather jacket and high-waisted skirt, creating a mood that sits somewhere between office chic and night-time street style. Slightly damp hair and a downcast gaze soften the look and give it the air of someone still half-immersed in character after a shoot. Other cuts put the focus on a bold red lip, combined with a minimal backdrop and sleek earrings so that her facial lines and expressions take center stage. Black-and-white close-ups strip away color entirely, leaving only her gaze and contours to highlight how comfortably she holds the camera at such close range.
On her own account, @voyavivirel, Park Ji Hyun reposted the photos with a simple caption—‘Allure.’—and a string of mic and lipstick emojis, effectively giving her personal stamp of approval. Compared to the finished editorial, the red dress shot she shared carries more of the on-set atmosphere: soft lighting falls across layered lace and chiffon, while the loose sleeves and shoulder lines allow her to casually raise her arm and adjust her hair. The result feels more like a captured pause between takes than a posed shot, offering fans a glimpse of her in a slightly more relaxed state away from the official camera.
Beyond leather and red lipstick, one of the most talked-about looks from the shoot shows Park Ji Hyun in a mint-green gown with purple knee-high boots, reclining on a pink sofa. The pastel palette might normally suggest sweetness and lightness, but here the camera deliberately leaves lighting rigs, curtains, and equipment in frame, giving the image a sense of on-set reality rather than a fully polished fantasy. Her slightly reclined pose and the way she runs a hand through her hair feel neither like a rigid, textbook posture nor a completely unguarded rest, but something in between—perfectly aligned with the pictorial’s theme of being mature without seeming overworked.
In the accompanying interview, ‘Allure Korea’ asked Park Ji Hyun to reflect on the Netflix series ‘You and Everything Else’. Looking back roughly two months after its release, she called it a project that ‘helped me grow by a level at a very important time’. Through the series, she re-evaluated her attitude toward roles and the atmosphere on set, and met many seniors and colleagues who were open to conversation and generous with advice. Because of these encounters, she said, she now feels better able to judge which scripts and characters genuinely match what she wants to do at this point in her career.
When asked about future plans, Park Ji Hyun joked that there are so many good scripts and projects that she ‘wants to do them all’, adding that she sometimes wishes she ‘had ten bodies’ to take everything on. Precisely because there are so many options, she admitted, choosing a single work has become harder and now requires balancing time, energy, and the nature of each role. She described her current drama ‘Off to Work Again Tomorrow!’ as something she is having a lot of fun filming and hopes viewers will see a very different side of her when it airs. With films like ‘Wild Thing’ and ‘Japil’ already slated for 2026, her schedule for the next few years is effectively full, underscoring the steady upward trajectory she is on in both film and television.
Drawing on coverage from outlets like MBN and the Dong-A Ilbo, this ‘Allure Korea’ spread reads as more than a simple fashion feature. It functions as a kind of year-end summary of Park Ji Hyun’s key roles and awards in 2025. From leather ensembles and red-lip close-ups to the mint-green gown behind-the-scenes cuts, the visuals all point toward one keyword: ‘steady presence’. She is no longer viewed merely as a supporting or antagonistic character, but as an actress capable of anchoring the emotional core of a project. For viewers following developments in the Korean film and drama scene, the pictorial and interview together send a clear signal: Park Ji Hyun has entered a new phase in her career and is on track to become one of the most closely watched actresses of her generation.
