Actor Kim Beop-rae adorned the cover of the March issue of Bravo My Life.
Kim Beop-rae's agency, E Entertainment, noted, "Kim Beop-rae has decorated the cover of the March issue of Bravo My Life magazine."
In the life magazine Bravo My Life, Kim Beop-rae sheds his intense and charismatic image, donning fresh and casual attire that catches the eye. He also perfectly embodies cozy knit fashion to shirts, exuding a deep gaze while captivating attention with relaxed poses.
In an interview conducted alongside the shoot, Kim Beop-rae said that after successfully finishing the musical Bloody Love, he felt shocked upon seeing the original Czech musical, and a desire to act arose, even if it meant risking his life. He expressed, "After playing a role I had kept on my bucket list for a long time, I feel mixed emotions. However, rather than the typical portrayal of Dracula as pale with long hair and a skinny image, I find satisfaction in being able to establish my version of Dracula."
Moreover, he revealed a surprising side, saying, "People around me joked, 'Can a romance really come from that voice?' The public thought I had played many villains. It might be due to my rough and strong characters, but I have also played many righteous roles, and I am a warm-hearted man."
Kim Beop-rae also talked about his life’s work, saying, "It was Notre Dame de Paris. I played the role of Quasimodo in the premiere, and every performance was sold out, which was when I first felt such happiness to be on stage." He added, "The Three Musketeers signifies a meaningful work as it features three people, Eom Yu-min-beop (Eom Gi-joon, Yoo Joon-sang, Min Young-gi, Kim Beop-rae), who live like brothers, and Bloody Love is a treasured piece as it fulfilled a bucket list wish."
The performances in Squid Game 2 also cannot be overlooked. In the series, Kim Beop-rae, who plays the loan shark Kim Jeong-rae, explained, "There were many reviews stating that I vividly conveyed the moment of impending life and death while skillfully directing the flow of the drama. I am grateful. As I immersed myself in the situation where the barrel was aimed at my head, it seems that my gaze and expression naturally emerged."
When asked what he would do if he were in a similar situation as Director Kim, Kim Beop-rae responded, "No matter how similar the situation, I have a family to protect, so I absolutely would not. However, if it were the real Director Kim, I think he would make the same decision no matter how many times he faced a similar situation. It seems he would instinctively make such a choice rather than out of loyalty."
Expectations grow for Kim Beop-rae's future activities as he continues to engage in diverse projects across genres.
