Earlier this month, Ji Soo shared photos from a magazine cover photoshoot on her personal Instagram. She has completely transformed her look Ranka lifestyle magazine based in the Philippines, now showing support for his new beginning.
Rank referred to Ji Soo as “The Indestructible Kim Ji Soo” in photos for his annual “Flight Issue”. The magazine also sheds light on Ji Soo’s journey, calling his return to the Philippines “kismet.”
From a chance meeting with a Filipino photographer in South Korea during his internship days, to his first film release produced by a Filipino team, it’s safe to say that it was kismet that brought Kim Ji Soo back to Philippine shores. Now, as he settles into the new, hopeful ways of his still-evolving story as an actor and human being, it makes perfect sense that his rebirth finds new direction in a familiar zip code.

Like the actor himself, who has made no attempt to erase his controversy on social media, Rank he didn’t shy away from Ji Soo’s past. The magazine’s social media posts mention Ji Soo’s cover photoshoot “the noise that muffled” his “Really meteoric rise” as a K-Drama star as well as his own “next bold move” After “tumultuous years of controversy and intrigue.”
Fresh off its recent releases as it breaks new ground in Philippine entertainment this year, from a slew of television series in what is now its home network, GMA Network and its talent management arm, Sparkle GMA Artist Center, together in a film paired with Filipino actress #AlexaIlacad, the South Korean actor sets out to cross borders in every known sense of the word, far from his country where he grew up to become a promising new addition to the pantheon of the most popular dramatic actors of his generation, and far from the noise that has dampened this truly meteoric rise.
With this seismic shift, establishing new frontiers in a foreign but familiar land, the now 31-year-old actor is finding his new stride, making his next bold move into a bold new world after tumultuous years of controversy and intrigue. And as he continues to face the storm head on, he forges and builds an entirely new path, and in the process engages us in a strong and compelling case – an invitation, even – to see the talent, the charm, and the indestructible. grit of the actor he was and aims to be.
