I knew it’s gonna be great! Watch the full clip featuring so many wonderful talents! (I appear at 48seconds.)
Check out the full credit at @imaginethis.studio
Everyone did a phenomenal job especially the ones behind the camera! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The director @camerongoold complimented my acting and it meant so much to me. I sometimes question myself if I’m good enough to be working in this competitive industry. I feel big yet small. I’m crazy busy then no work for days. It’s an interesting job and I love/hate it at the same time. 🤣

Thank you @skinpen and @imaginethis.studio for having me!
Loved meeting and working with you all! ❤️✨

영국에서 유타까지 날라오신 고객님들. 크루를 만나는데 느낌이 왔다. 이광고 정말 잘 나오겠구나.. 대략 6개월 후, 난 내가 나오는 줄도 모르고 와 이 광고 멋지다 하고 보는데 내가 나오네? 축복이다 증말.

감독님이 조용히 코너로 불러서 연기 잘한다고 칭찬해주심. 경쟁 심한 이 일에 지칠때가 많은데 그런 칭찬에 또 힘이 나지요. 내가 큰 사람 같다가도 한없이 작게 느껴지고 미친듯 바쁘다가 일 없어서 파리 날리고 ㅋㅋ 정말 이 일이 좋다가 싫다가 조울증 올듯…

그래도 감사한 마음으로 내일을 또 살아야지 🥰

Traveling around Utah is so much more fun with friends like @kangbitnaa and @ianthekorean!

We drove for hours together, fought the wind together at #DeadHorsePoint, and chatted nonstop in Korean!

I also loved working with @letsplayfight! I mean… who feeds their talent ribeye steak and organic food?! 😂They are seriously the best!!

I’ve been living in Utah for nine years now, and somehow, I keep falling more and more in love with this place. It’s such a beautiful state where nature and city life come together, and I especially love how safe it feels and how kind the people are.

So… are you ready to fall in love with Utah, too? Come visit me already!

AMEX Part 2 🎬

Fun facts: We shot the market scene at Seoul Central Market (서울중앙시장), and it was packed with people! Going to traditional street markets is one of my favorite things to do when I travel, so it was so much fun getting to film there even though the elderly customers weren’t exactly thrilled that we were there. Haha

We also shot some scenes in a busy area called Jongno (종로), which is full of restaurants and izakayas. People were so curious about what we were filming, especially I was sitting inside a really cool van where big celebrities apparently hang out. I could hear them talking and trying to figure out who I was. 😂

Oh, and our translator who has worked with BTS and other big-name celebrities, spoke better English than I do. Haha He was really kind and took great care of us.

Overall, super cool experience! 💯

꿈같았던 촬영. 디즈니 제치고 내 최애 촬영이 되었다. 행복했어!

REPOST ☀️

Meet Moon Kim and her family: a Korean Canadian model based in Salt Lake City. ✨

Born and raised in Canada, Moon moved to Korea at 8, where she was scouted multiple times on the streets of Seoul. She wasn’t allowed to pursue modeling at the time, but she kept her love for entertainment alive through music in college. After marriage and motherhood, she put that dream aside to focus on raising her children.

Years later, entertainment found its way back to her through a photoshoot with her two children. Moon initially declined, unsure if she still belonged in front of the camera. She eventually took the chance, and that photoshoot became her first booking. What followed was a string of opportunities that eventually led her to pursue entertainment full time.

Today, Moon and her family continue to book work together, appearing in projects for Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite, Reno Tahoe Tourism, and, most recently, Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel, all within four years of their partnership with Prestigious Models.

For Moon, the most meaningful part of this journey isn’t simply getting back to the dream she once put aside. It’s getting to share the experience with her husband and children. She sees her family as her greatest accomplishment and takes pride in watching her children grow into hardworking, responsible, kind, healthy, and happy individuals.

Her story is a reminder that rediscovering yourself doesn’t have to mean leaving your old life behind. Sometimes, the people you built that life with are the very ones who help you discover what’s still waiting for you.

Follow Moon and her family’s next chapter. ❤️🎬

The first photo is from my very first photoshoot with the kids that I initally declined. Where did the time go? 🥹

A huge thank you to my wonderful agency, @prestigiouspowerhouse, for exclusively representing Asian talent. I’m so grateful to be part of an agency that celebrates and supports Asian talent and for everything you’ve done for my family and me! ❤️

My favorite season is fast approaching!

Cozy sweaters, crisp air, golden leaves, and all the little things that make me excited for fall. And Utah’s fall is simply the prettiest. I can’t wait! 🤎🍁

Thank you @richlegg for making me look good in turtlenecks!

When you’re a professional at celebrating jobs you haven’t booked yet.

I’ve done so many dance auditions at this point, the dancing is just part of my audition routine. Haha

Now cast me! Please and thank you. 🙂‍↕️

Working with @filmlaab is always a treat, but getting to watch grown adults throw food at a blue board was even better! I think my heart secretly craves to start a food fight any opportunity I get! Thanks guys for letting us be a part of it! This one turned out great! #stackadapt #filmlaab #mccartytalentagency #foodfight #seeifitsticks by @mauimoonshine

A K-beauty secret I learned on set in Korea 🇰🇷

One of my favorite things about working on set is getting little beauty tips straight from the professionals. And this one came from a Korean makeup artist who recommended this product to me on set.

I’m going to be sharing more of my favorite K-beauty finds, beauty tips, and products I actually use, especially the little insider tips I’ve picked up from Korean makeup artists and beauty professionals.

If you love K-beauty as much as I do, follow along! 💗🇰🇷

Utah has my heart ♥️

I’ve had the opportunity to speak Korean in some of my recent projects, and it makes my heart extra happy. I’m so excited I got to do this one with my friends @kangbitnaa and @ianthekorean. Thank you for joining me!

You might spot us at the SLC airport!

A big thank you to the amazing production team at @letsplayfight for making this project so much fun to be part of.

And thank you, @visitutah, for letting me be part of your story again!

Swipe to watch the full clip!

영어에는 달리 없는 ‘정‘이라는 단어를 주제로 급 대사 제조해서 마구 뱉었는데 어색… 한가? ㅋㅋ
