In the photos, Kim appeared in a bold red corset-style top paired with black fitted pants and knee-high boots. Her look was accentuated by dramatic lighting, a deep red lip color, and an intense gaze that highlighted a more mature and powerful image than fans typically associate with the actress.
According to Koreaboo, the photoshoot was inspired by Baek Ah-jin, Kim's character in the TVING series "Dear X." In the drama, she portrays a top celebrity who conceals a ruthless and manipulative side while fighting to overcome a difficult past and maintain her position at the top of the entertainment industry.
The publication noted that Kim's sharp expressions and commanding presence in the photos immediately reminded viewers of Baek Ah-jin's complex personality, leading many fans to comment that the actress appeared to have stepped directly out of the drama.
Fans flooded social media with reactions, with comments including, "She is Baek Ah Jin herself," "It looks like she stepped right out of the series," and "The atmosphere is incredible."
The photos also coincided with a major announcement related to "Dear X." Kim revealed that Baek Ah-jin would return on June 6, prompting speculation that a second season of the popular drama may be on the horizon.
While neither TVING nor production officials have formally confirmed a new season, many viewers interpreted the teaser as a strong indication that the series will continue. The possibility of a sequel has generated significant excitement among fans who praised Kim's performance in the original drama.
Known for her roles in "Love in the Moonlight," "Backstreet Rookie," and "My Demon," Kim has built a reputation as one of South Korea's most versatile actresses. Her latest social media update further demonstrated her ability to captivate audiences both on-screen and off.
As anticipation grows ahead of June 6, fans are eagerly awaiting additional details about "Dear X" and whether Baek Ah-jin's story is set to continue.
