Kim Hae-won of 'good competition' is further enhancing perfect immersion with the character's 'perfect fit' styling.
In the STUDIO X+U drama 'Good Competition' (written by Kim Tae-hee and Min Ye-ji, directed by Kim Tae-hee), Kim Hae-won is vividly portraying the queen of gossip, Joo Ye-ri, at Chaehwa High School, which is in the top 1%, showcasing a perfect synchronization with diverse styling that maximizes the character's charm.
There is heated interest in Kim Hae-won's fashion in the drama. The character Joo Ye-ri, portrayed by Kim Hae-won, has considered her appearance, rather than studying, as her weapon and has been thoroughly living a double life while appropriately utilizing this in everything. In order not to be caught in the lies she told to hide her vulnerabilities, Ye-ri had to maintain a fake life, which led her to obsess over her beautiful appearance and luxury goods. Joo Ye-ri's obsession with her looks and luxury items was not merely a common teenage desire to beautify but a survival instinct itself.
Kim Hae-won noted, "Ye-ri has an obsession with how things appear on the outside. I wanted to capture the anxious psyche and emotions of Ye-ri well, so I tried to maintain tension throughout the shoot. I also prepared various stylings to show Ye-ri's unique look, from school uniforms to everyday styles." Among them, the most impressive aspect is Joo Ye-ri's school uniform style. She not only perfectly fits the most basic school uniform style but also completed her unique school uniform style by matching various colors and styles of cardigans while wearing the same uniform as her friends, further enhancing her image as the celebrity and queen of gossip at Chaehwa High School.
Moreover, Joo Ye-ri's style outside of school also garnered ample attention. Whether exercising, playing the harp, or meeting friends, in every scene, her 'Joo Ye-ri style' styling perfectly matched the occasion with a charm different from her school uniform. Sunglasses and hats were also used appropriately as accessories, enhancing Joo Ye-ri's stylish appeal. In this way, Kim Hae-won made the character's settings stand out even more with stylings that reflected the psychological and situational elements of Joo Ye-ri. With her performance fully embodying Joo Ye-ri and adding character-appropriate styling, Kim Hae-won increases the persuasiveness of the characters and story in 'Good Competition.' Expectations are at their peak for how she will conclude the climactic finale of 'Good Competition.'
Meanwhile, the STUDIO X+U drama 'Good Competition', featuring Kim Hae-won, is aired every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 12 a.m. on U+tv and U+mobiletv.
