💬 Dazed Korea (Digital Cover): Highlights from Interview on Gucci Pictorial

In May, the Gucci-embroidered Geunjeongjeon runway unfolded explosively and elegantly like a bridge connecting the past, present, and future. The winds of change are always blowing in all directions, making it difficult to sense what comes next; it's uncertain, but amidst that, the most important thing seems to be one's attitude.

This autumn, Gucci and actress Park Gyuyoung meet. Amidst change, without worry, they share the same thoughts and attitudes, and so naturally and vividly. Park Gyuyoung is embracing the new season.

We met in the summer, and soon it will be autumn. How do you feel when the seasons change?

- I’m happy. I think about how I’ve endured the past season well, enjoyed it sufficiently, and wonder how I will spend the next one. When the time comes for the season to change, I look forward to the new seasons that I will welcome in different ways. Whether it gets warmer, hotter, cooler, or colder—I like it all.

You still seem very strict and critical with yourself. I'm curious about Park Gyuyoung's attitude towards things that have passed. Do you dwell on things that need to be dwelled upon and let go of things that should be left as they are?

- I humbly accept the outcomes that are beyond my control and move on, but I continuously reflect on and mull over the parts where I think I lacked effort or did too much.

It's also important to grasp the present moment well, right?

- Yes. I often ask myself, "Did I fully concentrate on the time and space I was in?" Thankfully, I am currently working with directors I have personally respected, and I’m engaging in various visual projects like today’s photoshoot that I find fun. In the process of being part of various works, I naturally come to ask myself if I've been fully focused.

If there’s anything you feel is lacking or that you find regrettable?

- Someone recently asked me when I feel the most joy, and I found myself at a loss for words. On reflection, it was a question I hadn't asked myself in a while. My body and mind have been so focused on what needs to be done and accomplished that I seem to have neglected to ask myself when I actually feel joyful. It was a moment of realization for me.

Today, I got the feeling that you were enjoying the shoot in between. You wore Gucci all day long. How was it?

- We had a lot of outfits to shoot today. Even though I had to change quickly into the next outfit, the strong and beautiful colors of Gucci lingered in my mind as afterimages (laughs). I remember the unconventional and surprising combinations, like pairing a tweed jacket not with a matching skirt but with biker pants, or wearing a dress that seemed custom-made for me. It was fun.

That looks like a satisfied smile. You said that it's good as long as it's fun, right?

- Yes, I've mentioned this in a previous interview, but having fun is always the best for me (laughs).

Gucci has been doing shows in places with high historical and cultural conservation value, and the most recent city they've visited is Seoul. As someone who came from Busan and has lived in Seoul for a long time, I wonder how Park Gyuyoung views the city of Seoul.

- Recently, during busy moments, when I take a breather, I inadvertently notice the beauty of Seoul. In any form. That's when I suddenly realize that I am living fiercely as a small part of this vast grid. When I look around, the night view is beautiful, and when you look closely, you can see sceneries unique to Seoul between those points – the city's mountains and rivers, the historical buildings. I think these are beautiful scenes you can only see in Seoul.

The Gucci Cruise collection you shot today was first unveiled at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. As an actor who meets global fans through her work, do you personally feel the cultural phenomena that are originating in Seoul?

- While not limited to 'Seoul', I do feel that the boundaries have been blurred to the extent that it's difficult to list them all – overseas collections having shows in Korea, international artists exhibiting in Korea, Korean artists exhibiting abroad, and locally filmed works being broadcast internationally. It's more than just the breaking down of boundaries; it seems like each country and city is actively listening to and sharing each other's stories.

This collection is particularly significant as it represents the moment right before a new director is appointed after Alessandro Michele's seven-year tenure. How do you perceive the word 'change'?

- Change to me is the moment when we fully confront what we have not faced because of love. It’s also the moment when we say goodbye to the parts we loved and muster the courage to wholeheartedly embrace the new.

For Park Gyuyoung, change also means courage. We all desire significant change at some point in our lives. I'm curious if there was a time like that for you.

- Personally, rather than experiencing a sudden, significant change, it feels like I've gradually accepted the changes as they came, like a slow drizzle soaking through my clothes. Looking back, I realize that I've changed a lot over time – from before my debut to the first two years after, to three months ago. While I haven’t yearned for major changes, I’ve been steadily accepting the smaller changes that I encounter along the way.

Before accepting small or big changes, what kind of preparation do you usually undertake? For instance, like now, as you prepare for the next step.

- There's a need for a time to let go of what was loved and what had become a part of my routine. From experience, I find that I need to completely empty myself to fully welcome something new. For example, when I say goodbye to a role I've played and prepare to embrace a new character, it requires meticulously pouring out my heart, and that takes a lot of energy. It can be quite painful to go through alone.

As you move through this period and fully enter autumn, a new project is also revealed, right? Can you share a little about it?

- As always, I believe I will present a character that is completely different from any I've played before. (Laughs) To give a little introduction, it's a very cute story with many dogs. It's a drama based on a webtoon titled "A Good Day to be a Dog" that will be released soon. Please look forward to it.

By the time the magazine containing today's interview and photoshoot is published, you might have already visited Milan. I've heard that the sky in Milan is incredibly clear. Are you looking forward to anything in particular?

- This will be my first time in Milan! Visiting a new place is always exciting. Although I'll probably be bringing my iPad filled with scripts (laughs), the thought of experiencing a new city, new air, new people, and a new season, and returning with new energy is incredibly exciting.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Seoul, South Korea

Built six centuries ago by the founder of the Chosun dynasty, and rebuilt many times due to fires and war occupations. The surviving buildings include are Geunjeongjeon Hall, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, and Hyangwonjeong Pavilion.

[thewul]

Among a wealth of Korean cultural heritages lie the most treasured and beloved five royal palaces of the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung, Changgyeonggung, Changdeokgung, Deoksugung, and Gyeonghuigung. The charms of grand palaces are different at night, as they show off their overwhelming beauty located in the center of the bustling city of Seoul

Built in 1483, Changgyeonggung Palace, located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, was a complementary residential space for the royal family. Unlike other palaces, it faces slightly toward the east, following the old tradition of spaces dedicated to the queen mother or royal concubines rather than to the king himself.

Upon entering the main gate, Honghwamun, there is a long pathway to Myeonjeongjeon Hall. Along the way, there is Okcheon Bridge that crosses over the artificial river that once flowed all the way to Cheonggyecheon Stream. Myeonjeongjeon Hall is smaller in size compared to Geunjeongjeon, the primary jeong-jeon of Joseon located inside the main royal palace of Gyeongbokgung, but Myeongjeongjeon Hall is the oldest remaining jeong-jeon amongst all the royal palaces in Korea.

Twenty-four pum-gye-seok stones are aligned in the front yard of Myeongjeongjeon Hall, each representing the hierarchy of subjects serving the king. Myeongjeongjeon Hall was destroyed during the 1592 Japanese Invasion of Korea but was renovated in 1616, restoring its historical value by adopting wooden architectural styles of the early Joseon dynasty.

Moving toward the east of Myeongjeongjeon Hall, one can witness the Chundangji Pond, where kings held rituals and tended to the garden. The Chundangji Pond is an ideal photo area to fully experience the changing nature scenery across the four seasons. The clear water reflects the lantern lights hanging above the walkway, creating dreamy red and blue glints across the water. The breezy and relaxing atmosphere at night spent at the Chundangji Pond seems to provide restful shelter from blazing hot summer days.

The trail from the pond connects to the Grand Greenhouse, the first greenhouse to adopt Western architectural styles. The greenhouse was built in 1909 with steel frames and glass displays—a modern building structure that was introduced during the Korean Empire in the late 19th to early 20th century. The indoor garden exhibits varied species of Korean native plants such as the Ulleung chrysanthemum. Changgyeonggung remains one of the least-known palaces; yet at every corner of the palace, one can glimpse the royal culture of the Joseon dynasty.

Changgyeonggung has gone through multiple renovations since the Joseon dynasty due to wartime destruction. Nevertheless, the twinkling Joseon palace amongst the surrounding urban night scenery reveal its true beauty and the history that it represents.

Located in Jung-gu, Seoul, Deoksugung which means a palace of virtuous longevity of the king, served as a residence for the royal family during the Joseon monarchy,its history dates back to 1592 when King Seon-jo arranged the entire region for his temporary residence during the Japanese Invasion. The main entrance of Deoksugung Palace, Daehanmun, is the only one-story palace gate in Korea, and is also east-ward facing, like the Honghwamun Gate of Changgyeonggung Palace.

After passing through the Gwangmyeongmun Gate, Junghwajeon Hall stands tall upon a stone terrace. Four statues of hae-tae, mythical animal statues believed to be guardians, sit upon the steps of Junghwajeon Hall. As the main hall of Deoksugung was built for official state affairs, Junghwajeon Hall was where the throne of the king was located, placed behind a wooden canopy. Spotlights illuminate the floor, brightening the interior of the building, and accentuating the high dignity of the throne back then. The gambrel roof of the building with two slopes on each side and the ornate ceiling with paintings of the sun, moon, and five flower buds are typical royal motifs of the Joseon dynasty.

Deoksugung Palace has been renovated into a public park with museums exhibiting the royal arts and artifacts of the Korean Empire. Seokjojeon Hall, which is now open to the public as the Daehan Empire History Museum, was where Emperor Gojong greeted foreign guests. Surrounding the palace is the Stonewall Walkway, a pedestrian footpath measuring 900m in length. As an attempt to integrate traditional architectural features within urban space, Stonewall Walkway is a popular tourist spot with stunning scenery.

Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, is a small, two-story hexagonal pavilion built around 1873 by the order of King Gojong when Geoncheonggung residence was built to the north within Gyeongbokgung.

The pavilion was constructed on an artificial island of a lake named Hyangwonji, and a bridge named Chwihyanggyo connects it to the palace grounds. The name Hyangwonjeong is loosely translated as "Pavilion of Far-Reaching Fragrance", while Chwihyanggyo is "Bridge Intoxicated with Fragrance"

The bridge Chwihyanggyo was originally located on the north side of the island and was the longest bridge constructed purely of wood during the Joseon dynasty; The bridge was reconstructed in its present form on the south side of the island in 1953*

In bold the terms that need defining, what we want to obtain is a first person deambulatory experience of visiting the palace, the other angle is that we speak of HUGO BOSS suits, and of style, but we need to mention that a suit needs a setting, and the palace that our trader visits at night is going to be that setting

Korea Day 3

Since we bought a pass to see all 5 palaces, this Seoul trip is more or less dedicated to visiting all 5. Today planned on finishing up two more with our first stop being the Jongnyeo Shrine. We headed to over, wandering through the “Jewelry Road” of Jongro District which is more like a side street with small shops. Unfortunately, the shrine is very strict about their tour times and you’re only able to enter with a tour group so we had some time to kill. We explored an underground shopping center nearby but most of the stores were still closed but it led us to the Gwangjang Market (West Gate). We weren’t quite hungry yet since we ate breakfast at our hotel so we decided to tunnel through the market and head toward Cheonggyecheon Stream where there was a lovely stream-side walkway with benches, some foliage, and lots of pigeons.

It’s a Friday and the area was still fairly peaceful and quiet. Perfect for a morning stroll.

I loved the large stones that allow you to walk across the stream.

After walking around the stream for a while we finally worked up a bit of an appetite so we headed back to the Gwangjang Market through the South Gate to the main food area of the market. 

There’s tons of booths preparing food right in front of you but my friend took me to one of the actual physical stores of one of the booths called Soon Hee Bintae Tteok, one of the most popular stands/restaurants in the area. We got their most popular items: fried mung bean pancakes & pork pancakes along with a bottle of Makgeolli, a Korean rice wine.

Even though I was stuffed I always need something sweet to seal a meal so we picked up some Yakgwa from another booth. This is essentially a deep fried Korean wheat confectionary treat. I don’t know why but these were so addictive, especially with an Americano.

It was finally time for the English Tour of Jongnyeo Shrine to begin so we headed back over. The shrine is a sacred religious ground so they are very cautious with tourists. You can’t walk on the central stone path because that is used by spirits. The place was almost eerily quiet for a tourist spot.

Quiet pond near the front of the shrine. Unlike other ponds there’s no fish or lotus plants. The center piece is an incense tree which was meant to help summon the spirits.

Jeongjeon, main hall of the shrine. It houses the ancestral tablets of the most important kings and queens.

After the shrine tour, we headed across the street to Makercity Sewoon where there was a small fair being held. The inside portion of the main market is a bit run down but the roof offered some great views.

Nice view of the surrounding area and the Cheonggyecheon stream again.

The Sewoon Electronic Museum was more like a small room with a collection of old technology but it was really interesting to peruse through even though none of the signs were in English.

Once we finished we did a mini walk through of the Jongno District (which my friend describes as the Wall Street-esque area of Seoul), starting at Cheonggye Plaza. We walked along the Avenue of Youth Street where we browsed some shops, street stands, and of course I bought some food.

One end of the “Avenue of Youth”, a line of vendors and shops.

There was lots of street food available but when I saw a “peanut butter, cream, ham, egg sandwich” I just couldn’t resist trying it. It tasted like two sandwiches being eaten at once cause I couldn’t wait...not bad but not great either.

From here we headed toward Gwanghwamun Station where we made a stop to Kyobo Bookstore’s flagship store. There’s even a small stage outside where events and performances can be held.

Our next stop was Sejongno Road’s Gwanghwamun Plaza where there is a large statue of the admiral Soon Shin Lee.

Soon Shin Lee Statue

The base of the statue is a “turtle” boat, one of the battle boats that Soon Shin Lee commanded.

As we continued walking down the plaza, we were greated with dozens of booths that were part of a big health fair to promote nutrition education. On the other side of the plaza was a large statue of Sejong Te (Big) wang (King). There is even a museum underground which had an excellent recreation of the story of King Sejong. It has a very Korean-drama type filming style and it was incredibly interesting to watch.

Sejong the Great, one of the most revered rulers of Korea most well known for his contributions to the sciences as well as the invention of the Korean alphabet system of Hangul which allowed the lower class to learn to read.

Once we were done with the museum we headed to our last palace of the day, Geyongbokgung Palace.

First site when you enter through the Gwanghwamun Gate.

Geunjeongjeon Hall, the main throne room of the palace. 2 dragons are on the ceiling overhead.

Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, once used as an entertainment area for foreign guests.

The tour ended at the pavilion but the guide informed us if we continued down the path we would reach an exit that would allow us a decent view of the Blue House where the President of Korea resides.

Tons of guards and barricades but a pretty decent view of the Blue House in the distance.

We headed back out toward the main gate so we could head toward dinner. We were famished but I couldn’t resist doing a bit of browsing on Insadong Culture Road, a popular street for shops, galleries, and more. This included a quick stop through at the Ssamzigil Shopping Center where I got to try one of my friend’s favorite old-timey Korean confectionary snacks “yeot”

Beautiful tree-lined streets full of shops and art galleries.

A traditional Korean snack known as Yeot. It’s a very sweet almost tough taffy like candy.

The candy tided me over until we got to dinner. We went through the tunnel with a popular music store and onto a more run-down looking side street. The smell of pork filled the air. My friend informed me this street is a bit sketchy and we definitely saw our share of illegal gambling and drunk pedestrians but we got to our destination at Yoojinshikdang. The line was out the door but there wasn’t a single foreigner in the area (except me of course). For our meal my friend and I fulfilled a longtime dream of mine to try Pyongyang Naengmyeon.

I’m a huge fan of mul naengmyeon and bibim naengmyeon but I’ve always wanted to try the North Korean style Pyongyang Naengmyeon. The noodles are slightly less chewy but still quite hefty with a bit of a musky smell and the broth is bland but with a meaty undertone.

Since I have limited time in Seoul I did want to see the Gangnam District but my friend was exhausted and not much of a partier so we mainly walked around the area and of course if I’m walking that means I’m getting second dinner. Gangnam is a younger, hipper district and more known for their modern fusion type fare. I decided on a spot called Queen’s Black which I heard about online. They’re known for their black food items (supposedly colored by squid ink).

All looks unfortunately, very meh taste but it’s eye catching for sure. They even give you black gloves to eat it with.

I also wanted to check out the Itewon area which is known as a foreigner district and another younger person area. Once again, my friend wasn’t too interested in that type of atmosphere so she asked for some friends to show me around. We met up with two new people at Casa Corona, a fairly new bar in the area with a nice view of the area.

We didn’t end up drinking but the view was nice and the crowd was fairly calm and casual despite how nicely dressed most of them were.

The new people in our group said the bar was boring so we walked away from the area to find dinner (or dinner #3 in my case...) We decided to split a giant plate of Soy Sauce based Jjimddak w/ mozzarella cheese and a side of cheese fondue at Jangmi Jjimdak.

Really wanted to try jjimdak so even though I was so full I wanted to explode, I just had to give it a try.

By now it’s obvious my hunger is insatiable so even though I was on dinner #3, I still needed something sweet to finish off the night. I was having a great discussion with my new friends so we walked down to Coco Bruni, a cafe known for their chocolate, and grabbed some dessert. I had limited room so I went with the hot chocolate sampler.

The Tanzanian single origin hot chocolate was really interesting. Slightly acidic in a way that almost neutralizes the milk base so it tastes very light compared to the other hot chocolates.

This is where we ended our day of food, walking, food, food, and more food. I was so full and tired and ready to turn in for the night.
