Kim So-yeon for InStyle
by | March 30, 2011 | 110 Comments

My god, this woman is gorgeous no matter what she wears. Really, I think she could make a potato sack work on the red carpet. Kim So-yeon (Dr. Champ, IRIS) does a photo shoot for InStyle where she purportedly “transforms into a goddess.” Yeah, I’d say she already is one, no transformation needed.

The concept is called “Sheer Softness,” and for once the name of the thing actually fits, since she’s working the see-through angle. I for one would love that sheer ballerina skirt-meets-ballgown, except I’d feel slightly naked in it. Oh well, what’s the diff when you’re Kim So-yeon, yeah?

I have to admit, I’m completely invested in the upcoming spy mystery Coffee now that she’s attached. I can’t wait to see her chemistry with Joo Jin-mo. Looks like a few of my favorite actresses will be inhabiting the big screen this year.

Hm, I make no promises, but perhaps a film review/recap or two may happen this year, from the looks of things.

    The world is cruel to normal folks like meself. *sighs*

      LOL….I know right.

    • 1.2 Arabelle

      If it consoles you, it was photoshopped, although she does have a little somethingsomething to help her get on. Oh, and don’t click on my name. It’ll just take you to nick.com.

        …why?

    She is so flipping pretty.

  3. Fasiris Fay

    LOVE her…and wow, she looks STUNNING!!

  4. SM

    Beautifulllyy….. She is amazed to me more and more

  5. Einna

    I’m soooooooo envious! How I wish I could look like her or carry clothes as elegantly as she does. And may I just say, I love the pair of shoes she’s wearing!

    • 5.1 Alexis

      Me too! I totally love those heels she was wearing! Where can I buy those??

    • 5.2 guy

      yeah..she have such a beautiful leg..
      stunning look!!

  6. isamouse

    Beautiful as always.
    My fave actress these days by far :)

  7. ????????

    In my opinion, Kim So Yeon makes Kim Tae Hee look like a turnip. I’m so tired of hearing KTH touted as a ‘goddess’. One look at this girl and you know what an actual goddess looks like. She is so striking and so womanly.

    • 7.1 MsRetta

      I agree. Kim So Yeon is a woman and a beautiful one at that.
      She also has the ability to act.

    • 7.2 malta

      KSY is beautiful, but why bash someone else while giving KSY a complement. Such a mean girl thing to do. They are both beautiful!

      • 7.2.1 ilikehim

        *compliment

      • 7.2.2 engl

        lol she’s not being a mean girl… its just her opinion. and there was no bashing of kim tae hee. simply that kim so yeon is underrated with kim tae hee is overrated, and that she is more similar to the perceived image of a goddess… kim tae hee is shorter and cuter looking in comparison, but obviously looks good as well.

        lol that seems to be a confusing explanation … oh well.

        • 7.2.2.1 Kuging-RN

          overrated or not both our equally gorgeuos. case closed.

    • 7.3 SpongeBob

      Agreed.

  8. come2noona

    Oh the shoes! I love the ones in the first pic!!!

  9. ktb

    So beautiful. Dresses, pictures, her, everything. I love it!

  10. 10 ohemgee

    i’ve been clamoring for an editorial photospread featuring burlap sacks and all of these ridiculously beautiful women for years!!

    these magazines really need to get with the program. they could use it to model shoes and accessories!

  11. 11 Birdie

    They use the term “goddess” too loosely these days. Almost every female celebrity is a goddess. In my books there are only a few and KSY is definitely one.

  12. 12 Elaine

    Gorgeous!

    Film recap/reviews? Ooo i like (: that would be so awesome.

  13. 13 danna

    HER and Joo Jin Moo aka the Greek God??……OMG!…I totally knew that they were both attached tot his project now but I never put two and two together and thought about the amazing chemistry they would have!!!…Together they are going to burn down my screen are’nt they??!!

  14. 14 SadieStarr

  19. 19 jandoe

  20. 20 Amg1

    The only thought that came to mind while looking at her pictures was: “If ever was an Angel in disguise her name will be Kim So-yeon”

    Kim So-yeon she is the embodiment of “True Beauty”!!!

  21. 21 silka

    just love her.. one of my favorite actress… she is beautiful as always…

      She’s so gorgeous. Le, sigh. Hey, when are you recruiting for this year’s Kim So Yeon fanclub? I don’t think I’ve signed up yet, kae. :P

    • 24.3 miss

      lol.. KSY and PSH definitely one of my fav. OTP. Are they really couple in real life?

      Love love love kim si yeon in those pics. Very gourgous.. Very envious with her body’s structure.

  25. 25 Revy

    Not only is she beautiful but she is a good actress

    • 25.1 marisa

      Excellent actress actually, which is why she is a beauty.

      Beauty without talent or substance is way too common these days.

  26. 26 AhjussiAigoo

    *hiccup* Imma need myself a icy cold shower now

  27. 27 Show2007

    She is one of my fav K-actress, she is so pretty and stylish. Looking forward for her next project.

  28. 28 asianromance

    beautiful!! she can be badass one moment and then this fairy-like being the next. love the shoes in the first pic!

  29. 29 DN

    I love this shoot–the styling and the model fit so well. Hasn’t seen a good spread from Korean fashion mags in a while! Loveeeee itttt

  30. 30 JD

    can someone please hand me a bucket for my drool?

  31. 31 rouby

    I lover her,,, her shoes,,,,and her dress,,,,
    Can’t wait for coffee….

    • 31.1 juju

      me too.. i love her shoe..
      she look perfect in those picture!!!

  32. 32 Deeliteful

    LOVE THAT BLUE DRESS!!! I want!!!

  33. 33 Sukispop

    Gorgeous. Gorgeous. And…oh, yeah…Gorgeous.

    She’s also an amazing actress, who is an absolute joy to watch in any kind of role(though her badass character is my fav). With her stunning beauty and superb acting chops, I’m really surprised that she isn’t already an A-list movie star. Not that I’m complaining; I love to be able to watch her in dramas. But I really think that she should be up there with the likes of Ha Ji-won and Sohn Ye-jin. Seriously.

    • 33.1 IstayedoutallNight

      Amen to that! she can give them a run for their money.

  34. 34 kdlover

    Absolutely Stunning!! Love the shoes..to die for!!! Very talented and she play one of my favorite character in prosecutor princess!!!

  35. 35 Jeanie65jh

    ooohhh pretty. I wish I could work a skirt like that!

  36. 36 Han Mania

    So elegant! The sheer trend suits her slim frame.

  37. 37 Carinne

    I like all the white swan looks.

    • 37.1 nao mi

      me too!!

  38. 38 la dee dah

    Have to admit, I don’t know her, but heard comments about how she’s so gorgeous, so clicked on this story… but all the pictures are so soft-focus and the light is too bright on her face… I can’t really tell what she looks like! =( I guess I will just have to search the web…

    • 38.1 Jeanie65jh

      I suggest watching Prosecutor Princess or Dr. Champ, both on DramaFever if you’re in the US. She’s a good actress and a pretty face. :-)

      • 38.1.1 Chuck

        I watched her in IRIS, and decided to watch her in Prosecutor Princess now. I’m through five episodes, and I’ve been treated to episode after episode of Kim So Yeon running about in high heels and mini-skirts. Emphasis on “treat.” If there’s a lovelier pair of legs in the world, I haven’t seen them. South Korea should declare her legs a national treasure.

        In Prosecutor Princess, something about her hair style, or the thinness of her face, reminds me of Karen Carpenter. She’s much prettier than Karen, but somehow there’s a resemblance.

  39. 39 jane

    THE SHOES!! The one in the first picture!
    Kim So-Yeon is gorgeous. I wish I could pull off any outfit so elegantly.

    • 39.1 matinsoleil

      i feel the same the shoes are amazing! but the model is just so beautiful and i don’t know why she seems humble to me…haaaaaa can’t to see her in her new movie AND a drama…to greedy yeah maybe ;-)

  40. 40 omo

    YAY for film review/recap!!!

  41. 41 joZD

    holy shieeeet. Beautiful beyond words!!!!!

  42. 42 girlatsea

    Ah, so gorgeous. And beautiful. And talented…

    I just realized that for some strange reason I’ve never finished any of her dramas. I think I have an episode or two left of Prosecutor Princess and about four episodes left of Dr. Champ. And never got passed episode 2 of Iris…
    It wasn’t because they were bad, I’ve just been dropping dramas once I get to about episode 12 and on.

    Still haven’t finished My Princess either or Secret Garden. Or Mary Stayed Out All Night (I don’t think I’ll bother with this one.)

    Anyway, I hope to finish Dr. Champ and Prosecutor Princess soon. I was really enjoying them before I dropped them. I swear, it’s weird.

    • 42.1 jose

      iris is better since episode 3

  43. 43 nonski

    YAY! love the shoes…

  47. 47 Carmie

    She’s gorgeous and I’ve really been liking her lately having finished Dr. Champ and now Prosecutor Princess(Park Shi Hoo <3) . I really am excited for her new film and I really want to see her chemistry with Joo Jin Mo.

  48. 48 HikkiZ

    She was the best thing in IRIS or maybe I just mean the best looking :)

  49. 49 kilmenyanne

    I am finally watching All About Eve and she totally steals the show from Chae Rim and Jang Dong-gun. Seriously, why ISN’T she up there with the other A-listers?
