Miss Maxim Yujin Crafts a Sweet Harvest Moon with a Rice Cake-Themed Photoshoot

Beloved for her adorable, bunny-like visuals, Miss Maxim Yujin is set to meet readers through a captivating pictorial in the October issue of Maxim magazine.

Unveiled just before the Chuseok holiday, the photoshoot features Yujin in a unique concept inspired by the traditional process of making rice cakes, immediately grabbing attention. Yujin, who officially debuted as a model through the 2021 Miss Maxim contest, showcased her charm by pounding and pressing dough with her entire body for this spread.

"Making rice cakes with my whole body was surprisingly fun," Yujin shared with a smile. "I love rice cakes, so I even nibbled on them during the shoot, and hitting the dough with the rice cake mallet felt like all my stress was melting away."

The pictorial presents Yujin in a variety of styles, from a pink jumpsuit with a ribbon accent on the chest to heart-patterned lingerie, a micro bikini, and even a cute bunny costume. Her innocent hairstyle, rosy blush makeup, and expressive eyes, emphasized to look round like a rabbit's, maximized her cuteness.

Yujin's dedication to achieving the perfect shots also garnered attention. "I went through a bit of a struggle with dieting before this shoot," she confessed. "After receiving the Maxim offer, I hastily ate only one meal a day and lost about 5kg." She added with her characteristic frankness, "I still have a little bit of belly fat left, but I hope you'll find it cute."

When asked about the most memorable moment, she pointed to the "pose of pressing with her hips." "After the shoot, the dough stuck to my hips and hardened, so I had a hard time peeling it off piece by piece. However, the dough seemed to turn out best when I was really mashing it with my hips," she explained, sharing a humorous behind-the-scenes story. "My hip imprint was left on the dough, which was a little embarrassing."

Yujin left a warm message for her readers. "I won't nag you about the holidays. This Chuseok break is quite long, so I hope many of you can rest well with your families and have a joyful and happy time," she said. "If our readers are happy, that's all that matters. I wish you a Chuseok as bountiful as my figure."

Yujin first gained recognition through the 2021 Miss Maxim Contest. She has expressed her affection for rice cakes, stating that she enjoys eating them. Her quirky yet honest personality has earned her the love of fans.
