that’s kim goeun for you
it’s as small as a fist and she has fair skin. right. her face is very small and fair. she’s the intellectual type and elegant also she’s pretty when she smiles. she’s slim. no, more like slender. the kind that makes you want to protect her.
From PD Lee Sang Yeob’s interview
As a director, working with a talented actor is the greatest honor and in this project (Yumi's Cells), Kim Goeun was exactly that kind of person to him. There is a reason why people like Kim Goeun. She is someone who has no barriers between herself and others. What he saw in Kim Goeun was that she is truly a “great actress,” yet on set she is the most simple and down to earth person. She is close with the staff and fellow actors, and when it comes to food she doesn’t go for anything fancy, she actually prefers simple snacks, like an ordinary neighborhood kid. Because she lives such a simple everyday life, she is able to deliver great acting. He believes that Kim Goeun will continue to grow and become even greater in the future.

kim jaewon mentioned kim goeun in his interview:
“what sticks with me from working together is that even though noona is a much more experienced and older than me, she never interfered with my acting and truly respected my opinions as a junior. i felt that reliability and think of her as a great adult and senior. i feel lucky to have met a senior with such outstanding acting skills at this point in my career.”
