What the BTS Poster Shoot Revealed
The newly released making-of video from the “Yumi’s Cells 3” poster shoots is short but says a lot. Kim Go Eun, returning to one of her most beloved roles, shared that she went back and rewatched Seasons 1 and 2 to fully re-inhabit Yumi’s character — a level of dedication that fans will deeply appreciate. The two leads also playfully photographed each other with a film camera during the shoot, and that casual, spontaneous chemistry is exactly what a Yumi’s Cells season needs to work.
During filming of the main poster, Kim Go Eun cycled through Yumi’s full emotional range — from exasperation to heart-fluttering excitement — while Kim Jae Won embodied the cool, logical personality of his character Soon Rok with quiet precision.
Their messages to their characters told the story of the season beautifully: Kim Go Eun told Yumi, “Let’s wake up those cells!” — signalling this is a season of emotional renewal. Kim Jae Won gently advised Soon Rok to “find a middle ground” between his rational nature and emotional warmth, and to take good care of writer Yumi.
The casting choice of prime cells is equally revealing: Kim Go Eun picked the Love Cell, staying true to Yumi’s core identity, while Kim Jae Won chose the Rational Cell — setting the stage for what promises to be a beautifully balanced, opposites-attract dynamic.
Yumi’s Cells is based on the beloved Naver webtoon series, praised globally for its inventive storytelling device of showing a person’s inner “cells” — personified emotions — guiding her through the highs and lows of modern love, career, and self-discovery. Season 3 looks set to deliver more of that same magic.
