The magazine Bravo My Life said on the 6th, that Ye Soo-jung decorated the cover of the December issue. At the same time, it released a cover photo containing the simple yet alluring beauty of Ye Soo-jung.

The concept of this December issue is 'Black & White', which has an atmosphere that warms the cold winter.

Ye Soo-jung, wearing an overfit gray suit, which is popular these days, completed a great pictorial with a playful expression. Wearing a black dress showed off the actress' elegance. She gives the illusion of attending a film festival in an instant.

Ye Soo-jung is a veteran actor who debuted in the play "A Woman Named Solitude" in 1979. When asked in an interview that followed after the photo shoot, if she had any thirst to play the main character in her 44-year acting life, she replied, "Any role carries the same weight because every role is life itself".

She was asked if the criteria for choosing a philosophy of a work or role have changed from the past these days when she entered her late 60s. She said, "I don't look at a role as Ye Soo-jung, but a little more as the character itself".

At the same time, "Search: WWW" was mentioned. She played the role of charismatic chairman Jang in the drama and tried to transform her acting.

"When I was young, I wasn't curious about the role of evil, but now I'm curious about the validity of the character. Chairman Jang is a character who walks most clearly toward her goal rather than distinguishing between good and evil, and has a mind to get rid of anything in the way. I don't think it's cowardly, I think it's honest", she said.

She then quoted German poet Rilke as saying, "You don't have to be afraid of solitude", and sent a message that if you feel lonely in this cold winter, vague anxiety will surely disappear.

After debuting with the play "A Woman Named Solitude", Ye Soo-jung swept prestigious awards on stage for plays such as "Wives", "Long Journey to the Night", and "Hwajeonga".

Entering the year 2000, she starred in "The Thieves", "Train to Busan", "Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds", "Herstory", and dramas "Secret Forest", "Search: WWW", "One the Woman" and others.
