Kim Go-Eun Loves Nespresso 

<p>It’s a serene morning in Seoul and Kim Go-Eun is making an iced latte macchiato using a Nespresso Vertuo. The coffee fills the air with its rich, roasted aroma. Kim cradles the cup as she takes a refreshing sip, and her eyes flutter shut, savoring the quiet before a day of filming. This tiny ritual, precise and soulful, anchors her to a moment as captivating as the characters she brings to life.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745298727003_V8A0545.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kimz Go-Eun with her coffee | Photo: Nespresso</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Coffee is a K-Drama co-star</strong></div><p>Coffee is a silent character in K-dramas, but one with many pivotal scenes. Think of the tense café confrontation in <em>Cheese in the Trap</em>, where espresso punctuates the sharp dialogue. Or the tender moment in <em>Guardian: The Lonely and Great God</em>, where a latte shared under twinkling lights sparks romance. </p><p>In many scenes, coffee helps set the mood, grounds the emotion. And if a K-drama director were to cast a brand for this role, Nespresso would steal the role. Known for its its sleek machines, easy-to-use capsules, and unique blends, Nespresso delivers versatility and elegance to K-dramas and real life. It’s no wonder Kim Go-Eun, a master of the genre, has made Nespresso her off-screen co-star.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745299032884487463922_122118524180781185_7232869795714404645_n.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kim Go-Eun and Gong Yoo in the movie poster for Guardian: The Lonely and Great God</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Kim’s coffee rituals and Nespresso adventures</strong></div><p>“Before heading to the set, I always brew a cup of coffee with my Nespresso machine and carry it in my tumbler,” said Kim in a candid interview with<em> ELLE Singapore</em>, where she shares the role coffee plays in her whirlwind life. “Starting a day packed with a tight schedule with the soothing aroma of coffee gives me the energy to face the challenges ahead.</p><p>“I don’t have a unique way of how I like my coffee to be made or presented, but coffee is always part of my morning ritual,” she shared in a recent interview. “It’s when I need it most, and I love how revitalized I feel afterwards.” Her preference leans toward iced coffee, with the Ice Forte as her favorite Nespresso blend, its robust, woody notes a perfect match for her dynamic energy. “For me, it’s about the overall atmosphere that coffee creates,” she explained. “There is a relaxation that you experience when drinking coffee. The pleasant aromas that you can smell in the coffee. And I think there’s also a sense of inner peace that comes with it. This combination of multi-sensorial feelings makes a coffee truly unforgettable.”</p><p>She also loves the Ice Forte, a light, fruity blend she famously chose in Nespresso’s 2024 campaign <strong>The Bet</strong>, outsmarting George Clooney’s guess of “Intenso” in a playful advert. But she’s just as fond of the Double Espresso Dolce for its comforting warmth, a staple for early call times or quiet evenings.</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6T-0JLDKOHU?si=ihq8uhC7dcYHDHo3" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>As Nespresso’s Asia ambassador since 2023, Kim has brought her signature charm to campaigns like <strong>The Great Coffee Heist</strong>. Playing a mischievous sous-chef alongside Clooney, Eva Longoria, and Camille Cottin, she reveled in the lighthearted whodunit where Nespresso pods star as the priceless gems. “We had so much fun,” she recalled. “One moment, we were improvising lines in our native languages, and the set just erupted in laughter.” The experience, she says, felt like stepping into a K-drama with a global twist, blending humor, sophistication, and, of course, coffee. “Being part of this campaign makes me proud,” she added, her voice warm with sincerity. “Nespresso’s commitment to quality and creativity is something I deeply connect with.&quot;</p><div style="text-align:left"><strong>A perfect blend of values</strong></div><p>Kim’s love for Nespresso goes beyond the cup to shared values. Her environmental advocacy aligns seamlessly with Nespresso’s sustainability efforts, from recycling aluminum capsules to responsibly sourcing coffee. Her performances, whether in the occult thriller <em>Exhuma</em> or the romantic Love in the <em>Big City</em>, carry an authenticity that mirrors Nespresso’s dedication to craftsmanship. Kim, brewing her next Ice Leggero or savoring a lungo,  embodies a lifestyle where passion, purpose, and a perfect coffee moment intertwine.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745299541062Kim Go Eun - The Sous-Chef.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Kim Go-Eun taking a coffee break mid-chaos?
