Veteran actress Kim Sung-ryung, 58, is capturing attention with a recent photoshoot showcasing her multifaceted charm.

In a pictorial released on the 19th for <Singles> magazine, Kim Sung-ryung transformed herself not only into her iconic characters like Han Ki-ae from the drama <The Heirs> and Oh Yeon-ok from the film <Believer>, but also took on roles she admires, such as Tilda Swinton in <Suspiria> and Tokyo from <Money Heist>, exuding an unparalleled aura.

She expressed her satisfaction with the project, stating, "Anyone can come up with ideas, but bringing them to life is never easy." She spoke fondly of the character Oh Yeon-ok from <Believer>, calling it "a character who received much more love than I expected."

Furthermore, Kim Sung-ryung conveyed her deep affection and passion for 'Rosetta,' her comeback play after a six-year hiatus. "Theater fills the gaps that dramas or films cannot," she shared, adding, "I love the journey of analyzing the work and discovering new elements through the rehearsal process." She also revealed her commitment to continuous growth as an actress by treating the unique concept of eight actors portraying one character as "a training opportunity to let go of myself."

Beyond her acting endeavors, Kim Sung-ryung remains active in various fields. News of her filming the variety show <Same Day Delivery Our House> has surfaced, and she is set to begin filming the movie <From the Low Places> this October. Additionally, she actively participates in social contribution activities, supporting meals for underprivileged children through the 'Good Influence Store,' where she serves as chairperson.
