Actress Moon Geun Young may still look like the beloved child actress she used to be, but she's actually turning 30 soon!  Can you believe it?  She talks about this with 'Harper's Bazaar' for the October issue.  In the pictures, she looks extremely mature and sophisticated, capturing the image of a business woman in suits and loose blouses.

She revealed that she is enjoying the best time period in her life, stating, "Recently, my mind itself has changed.  I'm resolved to love myself and believe that because I'm me, I should do the work I like, things that make me happy, and work that I find fun.  I'm now able to say firmly that I will do the things I want to do.  Even for the production 'The Village: Achiara's Secret,' I read the script and thought it was so fun that I immediately entered filming."

As for the character she wanted to try, she stated, "Since a while back, I thought that I could play the neighborhood dunce, an insane character, a psychopath, and even a ditz well.  However, those roles do not really come in for me.  I could become a scene stealer like Yoo Hae Jin or Ra Mi Ran.  I want to state that there are a lot of those aspects in me, too."  Actors do seem to mostly struggle against typecasting and the like.  Moon Geun Young wants to break free from those restraints!

Lastly, she will be turning 30 next year (in Korean age), so Moon Geun Young said, "I was waiting for this.  I always wanted to become 30 as quickly as possible.  And I want to stay in those 30's.  For some reason, the 30's seems cooler to me and I feel like I'd radiate more beautifully, so I had high expectations.  Before becoming an age of maturity, no matter how much I tried, I only looked awkward.  Of course, I look just as much a child as always and I need to become more mature, but I am awaiting a time during which I can change the public's awareness of me more naturally."

These answers already show your great maturity, Moon Geun Young!  They do say the 30's are the new 20's, right?
