Actress Im Ji-yeon graced the September cover of the fashion and lifestyle magazine 'Cosmopolitan.' This month's photo shoot was conducted with the concept of "a medieval warrior actress who has returned to dominate the screen."

An interview followed the photo shoot. First, Im Ji-yeon shared her recent activities since 'Mr. Sunshine.' She said, "I've been resting well without anything special. I exercised and met many people. It seems 'Seo-ri' was let go with a smile."

She continued, "I think I've learned how to let go of characters quite coolly. Even after the series ended, I had many opportunities to meet the 'Mr. Sunshine' team, and we spent time laughing and having fun together. After working hard enough that there are no regrets, I realized you can part ways cleanly without any lingering sadness." She shared her thoughts on the conclusion of 'Mr. Sunshine.'

Im Ji-yeon received numerous reactions from viewers each episode, such as "Is it okay to break down this much?" and high praise. She also spoke about her first attempt at comedic acting. She said, "The character itself was charming, and the script allowed me to play freely. However, I never thought I had to deliberately break myself down on set. There's no need to break down just for the sake of it; breaking down doesn't automatically make something funny. One should simply run hard toward the goal in a way that fits the character and situation. And when acting, I think it's about letting go of oneself. When I abandon Im Ji-yeon and step into the character 'Shin Seo-ri,' viewers see me as 'Seo-ri' at that moment." She shared her attitude as an actress.

Regarding the experience she has accumulated as an actress through numerous works, she said, "I learned how to control emotions, and I am still researching those methods today. Acting is a profession that consumes a lot of emotions, so it seems one inevitably becomes sensitive."

She added, "During this break, I reduced weight training and focused on static exercises, which was also for the same reason. I also started meditation, and training to focus on breathing while closely observing my body and mind has been very helpful. I am currently researching how to continue this routine during filming," revealing her more mature side.
