Actress Uhm Jung-hwa, who is active in the JTBC drama "Doctor Cha", hosted a photo shoot for the fashion magazine ELLE. Under the concept of 'Uhm Jung-hwa's Room', this pictorial captured Uhm Jung-hwa's unique human and free-spirited appearances behind Diva charisma. On the spot, Uhm Jung-hwa actively communicated with the staff and generously revealed lovely and pleasant aspects that were different from the energy in the existing pictorial.

In an interview conducted after the photo shoot, Uhm Jung-hwa said, "It's good to be called everyone's 'older sister'. When I meet people for the first time, they often call me sister without hesitation, which is very familiar to me. It seems easy but it's a name that's hard to call easily. I like it for some reason", she said.

As for Cha Jung-sook, the character of "Doctor Cha" who transformed from a 20-year housewife to a first-year resident, said, "Everyone has a time when they are very aware of something in their lives, and Jung-sook is a person who can make bold decisions rather than be shaken at that time. I had no choice but to fall in love with Jung-sook, who bravely jumps at the chance without complaining or being intimidated by time", she said.

Uhm Jung-hwa is a diva who has been singing hit songs for more than 30 years, and has been diving into new challenges like Cha Jung-sook, as an actress who plays various women's lives and a friendly girl in an entertainment show and a dance group that is about to air.

"I like myself for continuing to follow the dream I want. I don't want to stop the driving force", she said. "As you get older, there will be times when you think life is going to end like this, and feel a big physical change. I don't think it's too late and I root for you to do what you liked again. Even if it's not a grand dream, I think doing anything for myself opens up a new perspective", she said.

Uhm Jung-hwa's pictorials and interviews can be found in the May issue of ELLE and on the ELLE website. The YouTube content, which has a different charm from photo cuts, will also will be released.
