Park Shin Hye was seen in New York on May 15, looking glamorous and enjoying the sites in Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg neighborhood. It was her second visit to New York in two weeks.

Williamsburg has not only become a popular destination for foreign tourists but it was the home of a character on the television series "Gossip Girls," which was said to have inspired Park Shin Hye's latest drama "The Heirs.

A photo posted by her agency S.A.L.T. Entertainment on their Twitter account showed the actress walking down the street looking fashionable and elegant. She wore a black leather jacket over a red and black checked shirt and skinny black jeans. She also wore sunglasses, short boots and carried an understated tablet-sized clutch. The actress is taller and far more elegant in person than her girl-next-door k-drama image might suggest. And she wears clothes with grace.

That much was evident two weeks before when the actress was in New York to accept the prize for best actress at the DramaFever awards. While accepting the award she looked very stylish in a long lace dress. After that she changed into more comfortable clothes to answer fan questions and even hug the few fans lucky enough to be asked on stage. She was warm and surprisingly funny.

One of the questions fans could not resist asking her was which character she personally would have chosen in "The Heirs." Would it have been Kim Tan, played by Lee Min Ho or Choi Young Do, played by Kim Woo Bin? She artfully dodged that question by saying that given her character's history she would choose Kim Tan.

But she's probably had lots of experience in answering that question. Wherever she goes, fans of the drama want to know which actor she prefers in real life. After the DramaFever awards ceremony, the actress attended events in other parts of the U.S. and was enjoying some free time in New York. Her U.S. appearances were the first part of the 2014 Park Shin Hye World Tour: Story of An Angel. The tour will include stops in Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

The actress is also working on her new film "The Tailors," about rivaling tailors whose fashion savvy creates political turmoil in a Joseon-era court. Park Shin Hye plays a queen whose desire to dress beautifully and fashionably becomes a national issue.
