Karina Yoo has everything the world says she should want-fame, beauty, wealth, and the crown of being New York's most sought-after model. Yet beneath the lights and flawless magazine covers, she is suffocating in loneliness, her life reduced to a brand rather than a heart.
On a business trip to Paris, fate introduces her to Winter Kim, a 21-year-old photographer with eyes that see past the gloss, past the perfection, and straight into the truth Karina hides. What begins as a contract-Winter hired as her personal photographer-ignites into something deeper, something dangerous: a love too powerful to stay in the shadows.
From Parisian dawns at the Seine to rain-soaked nights in Milan, from the "almost kiss" at the Trevi Fountain to Karina's unforgettable public confession on stage, their story unfolds against the backdrop of fashion runways, flashing cameras, and a world divided by love and scandal.
But beneath the chaos, there is intimacy:
Quiet mornings over coffee, laughter spilling through their tiny apartment.
Stolen dates in Seoul, subway rides that feel more luxurious than limousines.
Nights spent building dreams side by side, until Winter's name shines across galleries, her photographs no longer just of Karina, but of a love that refuses to be hidden.
When the world reacts-sometimes with venom, sometimes with hope-Karina must decide what matters more: the career she built from perfection or the imperfect, undeniable love she found through Winter's lens.
Together, they defy the storm. Together, they inspire others-like Ningning and Giselle, a fan couple who find their own courage in Karina and Winter's love. And in the end, when Winter's photographs fill the walls of her first global exhibition, Karina sees herself not as the world's icon, but as one woman's truth.
A love story that begins with a glance, survives scandal, and blossoms into forever.
Tender, dramatic, intimate-Through Her Lens is not just about being seen, but about being known.
