Moon Ga-young finds hundreds of lives inside a Damiani shoot

An elegant mood captured in a Damiani pictorial

Television actor Moon Ga-young has released a pictorial shot with the Italian high jewelry brand Damiani. Gracing the cover of the August issue of the watch and jewelry spin-off magazine ELLE Brilliant, Moon Ga-young interpreted the 'Arte Maestra' collection—which reimagines masterpieces through high jewelry—with her own unique aura.

Moon Ga-young, who serves as a 'Friend of the House' for Damiani, expressed her affection for the brand during an interview. "I believe that small details come together to complete a whole," she said, focusing on the stories and authenticity contained within rather than just the flashy exterior.

An actor's attitude shaped by the habit of recording

Moon Ga-young's habit of keeping records has extended into her world of acting. She recalled that a book she received while preparing for the drama The Interest of Love provided decisive help in understanding her character. She also shared that she has learned how to govern herself, noting, "As I observed others for a long time, at some point, I began to look at myself."

Regarding her profession, she remarked, "Thanks to being an actor, I feel like I have become a person who has lived hundreds of lives. I am excited to see what kind of lives I might live in the future." She also offered insight into human nature, stating, "Humans are inherently contradictory and inconsistent. That aspect feels more realistic."

She also shared an anecdote related to her recent Baeksang Arts Awards win. She recalled how actor Koo Kyo Hwan, with whom she worked in the work If We Were, cheered her on, saying, "You will definitely win the Best Actress award for this work."

Moon Ga-young expressed her gratitude, saying, "I realized how precious it is to have someone believe in and support me for a long time."

The pictorial of Moon Ga-young and Damiani will be released sequentially through the August issue, as well as via ELLE Korea's website and official SNS channels.
