Harper's BAZAAR Korea
Recently, actress Kim GoEun appeared on the YouTube channel of "Harper's BAZAAR Korea" as a guest for her edition of "Inside Bag." Proudly (and adorably) showing her new Chanel bag off, Kim GoEun revealed all the essentials she carries with her at all times.
The first thing she brought out was the script for her upcoming drama "Little Women", much to the joy and excitement of fans. She followed it up with a notebook and later, a pencil case to go along with it. The actress prefers to jot down her thoughts and analyses in pen and paper whenever she works on something new. In addition, she also has a unique way of carrying books. To avoid answering everyone asking about the book she is reading, Kim GoEun uses book covers in various sizes to keep it a secret.

Kim GoEun further shared that the hangover pills she carries with her at all times are like a best friend to her. For listening to music, she prefers earphones with a cable instead of AirPods because she tends to misplace one or the other and when it comes to vitamins, she relies on an all-in-one product. Finally, Kim GoEun's skincare go-to is a product gifted to her by Lee YoungAe!
