In a recent interview with Star News, the 25-year-old expressed her surprise at winning the Best Emotive Actor award:
"We didn't expect that we would receive it together, but we were both surprised. I was proud of it, and it felt even better when we received it together."
Moon Ga-young's character in True Beauty was loved not only in South Korea but also internationally. Lim Ju-gyeong's story of transformation and growth struck a chord with viewers of all ages.
On being asked what the biggest appeal of the show was, the Karlsruhe, Germany born star said:
"I think it has to be her story of personal growth. She was beautiful when she grew stronger and figured out how to love while discovering her true self. Since a lot of people related to the message I wanted to send through her and also gave their support, I received comfort as well."
The actress is currently filming an upcoming tvN romance-fantasy drama titled Link: Eat and Love to Kill. Directed by Hong Jong-chan, the drama follows a man who starts feeling all the emotions experienced by a certain woman, played by Moon Ga-young.
Starring opposite her is Hotel del Luna's Yeo Jin-goo. This is the second time the two are working together. Talking about her experience working with him, Ga-young said:
"I worked together with Yeo Jin-goo when I was younger. As it's the first time working with him in such a long while, it's familiar yet fresh. It's a big plus. We're relying on each other as we work hard to film."
Link: Eat and Love to Kill is expected to premiere in the first half of 2022.
The model concluded the interview by voicing her aspirations and ambitions as an actor:
"I want to become an actress who can convey the emotions and messages she feels to the viewers and fans. I think of what I can show through my acting as another form of communication."
Meanwhile, Moon Ga-young was last seen on-screen in the 2021 drama Recipe For Youth.
