For this issue of Ceci, Kim So Eun participated as a cover model. She was also in the calendar, and table of contents according to a profile made by a fan. This is likely true.

As the cover model she was also on ceci.patzzi.com website banner.

As for these photos, some of them are probably from this magazine. Some of them from other stuff.

It was known as her debut work(as a CF Model) by many, although it might not necessarily be the case, but what's clear is that this CF is the first CF of hers that got public attention.

Stated as from 11th October 2003 in the TVCF website, it is a 15 second CF.

CF Video:

Some people were talking in Naver's 지식IN (Knowledge IN) about how she was affliated with Ready Model Agency. I don't think this was likely though, since it seems that Ready Model Agency mostly did casting work at that time (seems to be half-confirmed by a fan from 2005).

Kim So Eun with Kim Ki Bum (the former Super Junior member) for KTF CF on 23th April 2005 (as written on TVCF website). It seemed to be titled Bus Stop.

This CF is quite famous, so it was one of her representative works at the time, it even has some parodies made.

There are the 20 and 30 second version, it's basically the same thing but with some parts cut out.

CF (30s ver.):

CF (20s ver. with English Subtitles):

The song used in the CF is titled 내가 사랑하는 그녀는 (The Girl I Love) by Zipper.

An interesting anecdote about this CF, back then, if you call the number Kim So Eun mentioned (016-201-5016), you will hear an automated response with her voice.

This guy over here even got fooled by it for a moment🤣. She introduced herself as Kim So Eun from the CF and just continued rambling.

Not much could be found, but the photos are likely taken on 1.35 p.m. 17th February 2009. If so, the article was likely to be published around a few days until a week after that.

Nothing could be confirmed about the article, but considering the timing it might be centered on drama 'Boys Over Flowers'.

The article was likely to be posted on both Go News and Economy Today (경제 투데이).

Go News is an internet-based news portal which was founded in 2004. It closed down in early 2009 and was sort of(?) reformed into Economy Today (경제 투데이). Later on, Economy Today was renamed(?) Focus News which closed down for real in 2017. It was also affliated with Social Media platform Freechal.

Much couldn't be uncovered about these pictures, but they were likely obtained from the website instead of the magazine.

This one is highly likely to be from 2007. The hair length checks out and this is the year where she has two movies. My guess is that this is related to movie 'The Show Must Go On'.

This one is likely to be from November 2008-February 2009. Considering her hairstyle and overall look, this is for her role as Chu Ga Eul in 'Boys Over Flowers'

Movieweek is a weekly movie magazine as its name suggests. It was closed down and integrated to Magazine M on 2013. Magazine M closed down on 2017.
