Broadcast personality and author Seo Jeong-hee unveiled her beautiful pictorial poses.
Seo Jeong-hee conducted a fashion pictorial with designer brand katiacho (katiacho), presenting the most elegant moments created by time. The concept of this pictorial is "finding myself, blooming again," and while preserving the beauty from her 20s as a model, it captures the deep and solid beauty added by years now in the aesthetic of a static portrait like a French masterpiece.
In the pictorial, Seo Jeong-hee digested a variety of styles in her own manner, from a floral long dress reminiscent of a leisurely weekend in the south of France to color styling that evokes everyday life in Paris. Especially, instead of flashy production or exaggerated poses, this pictorial focused on gaze, negative space and elegant expressions, emphasizing the "beauty of deepening" rather than "youth," recording Seo Jeong-hee at this moment in the most lyrical way.
Designer katiacho, who planned and produced the pictorial with Seo Jeong-hee, said, "The elegance and freedom Seo Jeong-hee has now were naturally expressed through katiacho's colors and sensibility. Seeing her enjoy the fashion pictorial and her positive energy made for a warm start to the new year."
Seo Jeong-hee also shared her thoughts on the pictorial shoot. She said, "When I work with katiacho, an image comes to mind without needing much explanation. Like a French woman who carries time within her, it felt like naturally remaining within a quiet but solid elegance." She was then asked "what fashion and color mean to you," and said, "a palette that paints life," adding, "for this pictorial I thought of Pantone's 2026 color of the year, 'Cloud Dancer.' The soft white that feels like walking among clouds resembles the calm dignity of the woman in a French masterpiece, and the accessories and hues layered on top expressed that woman's hidden vitality and wit. Even with the same clothes, small elements like hats, scarves and shoes complete Seo Jeong-hee's signature lifestyle; that's how I live color."
Regarding the life direction she values most for the 20206 new year, she said, "Not losing curiosity until the end," adding, "a life that is honest and not stingy with self-expression. I have no plans. I just want to age beautifully, still loving, traveling and sharing delicious food."
Finally, she delivered a gentle message to women of her generation who will see this pictorial and to all women who "want to start again": "You don't have to think it's too late. You can start again exactly as you are now. Flowers bloom in each person's season," bringing quiet emotion.
Meanwhile, Seo Jeong-hee overcame breast cancer and has been in a long-term relationship with an architect six years her junior. She is reportedly positive about remarriage.
